This review is from: Atra-Hasis: The Babylonian Story of the Flood (Hardcover)

The story in Atra-Hasis; can be used to help explain an obscure passage in Genesis 6:5-7 (the story of The Flood). The text transliterations reveal additional insights into the reasons for the destruction of mankind. It is important to recognize that this narrative was in the main stream of teaching during the days of Abraham from Ur of the Chaldeans. For students of such antiquities Atra-Hasis adds a unique perspective to the probable foundations for many of today's religions.
