The book of Genesis not only outlines the creation of the universe, God's relationship with Man and the story of the ancient Hebrew people. It's also the creation story for religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam. By all accounts, the book of Genesis appears to have covered everything.


But, what if it didn't? What if it's incomplete? What if some part of it, some record, was missing?


Have you ever considered that there could be an alternative account of events?


19th century English author, George Smith, thought so. Which is why his vocation as a pioneering Assyriologist led him to discoveries of ancient tablets, written in the forgotten language of cuneiform. Tablets found in lands surrounding Nineveh and situated in what used to be known as The City of Babylon. These tablets tell and provide an alternative source to the accounts written in Genesis.


If you have ever wondered if there was any truth to the words written in Genesis or you are a believer on the lookout for historic material to strengthen your faith, look no further. This book will clear your doubts and provide you with knowledge you won't get anywhere else.
