Publisher's Synopsis
In this volume, the author attempts to fill a void in human knowledge surrounding the development of Noah s family and the origin of human nations after the Flood. Based on years of study, the book is a synthetic reconstruction of the events and people of this largely forgotten period of history. Readers will find that this book is based on young earth creationism and that the author espouses a tightly woven chronology in which the Noachian deluge occurs at 2518 B.C. He writes a compelling apologetic for what he calls "Noahic science," which he feels is "the atomic physics of world history." Pilkey believes that Noahic science when fully conceived will liberate us from Darwinism so that we will then be able to see the past for what it really was.The author carefully and brilliantly exegetes such archaeological sources as the Gundestrup Caldron and Mesopotamian Seals. While paying attention to Scripture, Pilkey demonstrates that the myths and king lists of ancient societies support the Biblical pattern of monophylogenetic human origins. Pilkey attempts to bring identity between such widely separated fields as human mythology, Biblical truth and the plight of modern man. Specialists in history or mythology would do well to read the book consecutively. Creationists and others desiring to understand Noah's family and its contribution to present-day national governments will find this volume indispensable. All students of ancient literature and mythology should consider their work deficient if they do not study this truly landmark endeavor.
