Gardner explains further why Jesus and the Holy bloodline of the Grail is special in this volume. The Annunnaki gods created Adam, who was the first priest king carrying more of the god's genes than the rest of us. This royal line has supposedly preserved its genetics down through time to the present day.

There is an compelling section on how the Hebrew Bible is largely influenced from previous Sumerian works such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Egyptian Book of the Dead. There is also an attempt to explain why the Sumerian was such an anomalously advanced civilization when compared to others at the time. Gardner thinks it's because of the genetic tinkering of the gods with the human line.

Gardner does an interesting analysis on the Moses story in the Bible and comes to the conclusion that he was actually the abdicated king Akhenaton, a half Hebrew, half Egyptian king deposed because of his insistence on imposing a monotheistic god on the Egyptian populace. Various inconsistencies in the Bible are discussed and Gardner comes to the conclusion that it is a corrupted text from the older Sumerian accounts, corrupted for the religious/ political reasons of the Jewish and Christian priesthood.

Gardner stands things on their head, saying that Cain is actually the holy bloodline and not the inferior line of Seth. The Serpent in the Garden is actually the Annunaki god Enki who offers wisdom to humanity as opposed to his brother Enlil, which is the Hebrew god who wants to keep us down. Miriam is not mentioned much in the Bible, but actually she was a prominent religious leader of the Hebrews, but she was shafted by the male priesthood who wanted to get her out the Bible because she was female. Standard blasphemous stuff, you know. Gardner says that our religious beliefs are starting to change because of all the archeological documents that have been discovered which give us a different account of what we have been told traditionally. I suppose it's easy to be fooled with the Biblical stories. People are introduced to them at a young age when their critical faculties are low.

I liked this one better than Bloodline because it didn't get bogged down with a lot of name dropping and intricate genealogies, although these lines are listed and commented on some. I'm really neutral on the revelations. I suppose it will be welcomed by modernists and scorned by traditionalists in the endless chatter of society. I don't know if it will change my personal views much. It was a mind bending trip though. There are actually other authors out there that have looked at archeological evidence and claim that the Bible is accurate, so it comes down to who you want to believe. Everyone has their clever arguments for everything.

And oh yeah, I've read that David Icke has a tape out saying that this guy is nefarious Reptile alien, so who can you trust? Maybe such accusations stem from class conflict or professional jealousy. Both authors cover similar territory and have similar views. Gardner is high born and Icke is well, a former soccer player/hooligan from the projects.

Sir Laurence Gardiner's 2 works "Genesis of the Grail Kings" and "Bloodline of the Holy Grail" were two of the most interesting, well researched and thouroughly engrossing works I've read in a long long time. Although each works well as a stand-alone book, I thouroughly recommend readers read BOTH works.

Drawing upon ancient Sumerian and Mesopotamian records, in the case of "Genesis of the Grail Kings", and drawing on priveleged genealogical information protected by the various European Royal Houses and the Scots Royal House of Stewart, in the case of "Bloodline"; Sir Laurence backs up his topics with detailed, fascinating research.

I wholeheartedly recommend both books for readers interested in learning true facts concerning such topics as the following:

-An ancient bloodline dating from before Sumerian times was preserved from ancient times, up to Jesus' time, and the present day. This bloodline had been genetically enhanced, firstly thru the ingestion of Annunaki "Star Fire", and later thru the ingestion of alchemically altered monatomic white gold powder. -Gravitational and time/space anomalies presented by alchemically altered monatomic white gold powder, and how modern science is now just beginning to rediscover these ancient secrets. -The nature of Sumerian Kingship. -How the first few books of the Old Testament were recombinations and retellings from far older and more complete Sumerian and Mesopotamian records and legends. -The facts about many of the parables in the New Testament, in that they were coded references to political situations, and not depictions or descriptions of supernatural phenomena. -The true facts concerning Jesus' heritage, birth, upbringing and training, familial relations, and marriage to Mary Magdalene. -The true facts concerning Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. -The role, and original importance, of women such as Mary Magdalene in the Church. -How the Roman Catholic Church was able to usurp unearned, power wealth and authority, and how the Church sought to maintain that hold on wealth power and authority by: preventing the true facts concerning Jesus to be brought to light; suppressing, distorting, and then denying the role and importance of women in the Church; controlling the roles and options open to women in society; suppressing intellectual and individual, and artistic freedoms thru such instruments as the Inquisition.

-The rise of the European Royal Houses, and in particular, the suppression of the Scots Royal House of Stewart, by England. -The role that enlightened, properly instituted, and properly managed government plays in securing the freest expression of individual liberties.

And many more points too numerous to mention.

In short, I hope that readers will take these two books to heart and will find them as beneficial as I have.

I hope everyone will get a chance to read Sir Laurence's latest masterpiece. Once again, in "Realm of the Ring Lords," he literally shines light in the dimmest recesses of history while figuratively "knocking our socks off". He connects the Grail and Ring in ways I've never known, and going all the way back to pre-history, he gives logical explanations of almost every myth, fairy tale and legend that either frightened or inspired us as children. We still get to keep our elves and fairies and pixies, but this time as real people who did magnificent deeds that have since been diminished by the Church. In chapter 10, I was astounded by the lily and the rose being symbolic of actual female essences that grant spiritual power and even youth to their partakers. He gives excellent and revealing backgrounds on figures such as Robin Hood, Santa Claus, Lorna Doone, and the Faerie Queen. He also thoroughly debunks such fictions as vampires, werewolves, zombies, and even Satan himself! The notes and references and appendices are practically a book within themselves, and the colored illustrations, especially those by Sir Peter, are beautiful beyond description. We are so fortunate to have such intellects as Sir Laurence and the other good knights at MediaQuest to come riding in on their white horses and rescue us from the prison of our darkest ignorance. Bravo! [To find out more about obtaining this new book, see ... .

First I should say I am a Fortean skeptic, so I am not opposed to revisionist ideas if they are supportable. While Gardner's prose is fairly easy to read, and some of his ideas plausible, I think he goes way too far with his thesis - that humans were cloned by Sumerian Gods/aliens. The book starts off in a fairly reasonable way, but gets more wacky as it goes on. I agree with him that the Bible has been mistranslated - that standard history and timelines are highly resistant to critique - that much of Roman Catholic theology has no accurate scriptural basis - and perhaps that the Grail mysteries relate to an actual genetic bloodline of Christ. I also agree that Judeo-Christian religion has been partiarchial and misogynistic. However, I get suspicious when he frequently claims linguistic similarity between ancient words to support his arguments, and goes so far in relating so many traditions. Would most or any linguistic or Sumerian scholars agree with his comparisons? How do you judge whether what he is saying is grounded in some reality reflective of good scholarship or journalism? I do not insist that all believable ideas come only from the academic world, but I would feel less queasy about this book if he included more scholarly references (as opposed to Nexus Magazine articles and books about Ramtha).

Laurence Gardner is a remarkable antiquarian, historian, theologian and etymologist as well as expert on ancient languages (Hebrew for example). Gardner has written a trilogy, each seperate in covering material, but unified in their relation to the Holy Grail as a symbol for the family bloodline of Jesus. For those who have read "Bloodline Of The Holy Grail", we are familiar with his theories on Jesus, his marriage to Mary Magdalene and his descendants becoming priests and European royalty. Like that book, Garnder discovered hidden meanings behind the text in the Gospels, taking the literal translation of the words in the text from their Jewish source and how they were applied at the time of their writng. He does this again with the first book in the Bible, Genesis.

Gardner explains how Genesis, which means "beginning, genetic origins- ("Gene- sis- Gene-tics") is about the evolution and progress of the Hebrew people, the unknown tradition of the Messiah and at last, the real faces behind the biblical characters of Adam and Eve, Abraham and Moses. Adam and Eve, quite contrary to the fundamentalist dogma, were not the first man and woman, but merely the first of their kind. They had greater thinking power, and they were ancestors to the early Jews. Abraham, of course, is portrayed as a wondering sheperd called to be the father of a great race. Gardner does not deter from this ancestral patriarch's importance, but provides a clear picture of who he really was. The same applies to Moses and his own link in the great chain. The talk of Star Fire and Phoenix, Philosopher's Stone may take on mystic, obscure and confusing forms, but I understand it to be simply more additions to the beliefs of earlier non-fundamentalists- such as the Gnostics, the Freemasons, the Templar Knights, each with a profound knowledge of worthy notice.

This book is outstanding. Lush illustrations, accurate history and rational criticism, as well as mystic, spiritual enlightenment. Gardner has fascinated me and grabbed my attention from the very beginning. Genesis is what you want to make of it. It is always good to open your mind and your heart to the happy possibilities.

I applaud Laurence Gardner's arduous attempt at compiling all the archeological and geneological information on the subject of this book and his grand attempt at putting it altogether in a cohesive pattern. This book show succinctly where the bondage of women began and how it has caused such an imbalance on the planet. Also, it exposes where the origins of God as a judge, and someone to highly fear, began. Reading this book to me was a liberating experience, a liberation from the shackles and fears orthodox religion, has impregnated us with for milleniums. I highly recommend it for open minded truth seekers.

If you have read Bloodline Of The Holy Grail and Realm Of The Ring Lords, you are familiar with the scholarly, mythic and insightfully historic way that Laurence Gardner writes. Gardner, a renowned historian, antiquarian and scholar, has once again dazzled his readers. Without deviating from the theme of the Holy Grail and the lineage of Jesus Christ, he once again takes us on a biblical journey into the abode of the most fundamental and most mysterious book in the Bible- Genesis. In the beginning... Gardner embarks on an archaeological and scientifically accurate odyssey to Mesopotamia, the cradle of civilization and we become better acquainted with who Adam and Eve really were, and also with the personage of Abraham, ancestor of the Jews. Again, you do not have to choose to believe anything, but if you find something that sparks your spirituality and it works for you, then so be it. Gardner is a terrific writer and open-minded about such matters, when a more fundamentalist, Church-oriented person will close their minds and their hearts on this new level of knowledge. I highly recommend this book and the entire trilogy, Bloodline Of The Holy Grail and Realm of the Ring Lords.

Genesis Of The Grail Kings examines the historical fact that is NOT in question: the Bible has been written, rewritten, translated, and edited numerous times by numerous groups and individuals over the last two millenia. Why? How? What did the earlier versions say? What's the story behind The Greatest Story? Many reasons, both sacred and profane, and you'll find them and the supporting research in this book. Laurence Gardner illustartes this clearly and with considerable documentation. He shows the paper trail all the way back. In the places where he makes a speculative foray, he says so. His material is better written than Zecharia Sitchin's. The book is tighter, with more clarity, and despite being non-fiction, moves along with the taught feel of a well-written mystery novel. If you are a fan of the "ancient astronaut genre" you will really enjoy this as well as his other two books, Bloodline Of The Holy Grail and Realm Of The Ring Lords. For this kind of material, it's just about the best of it's kind.

This book is good, and sure, you should buy it to complete your collection - but only after you buy the ORIGINAL WORK upon which this is based: The Dragon Legacy, by Nicholas de Vere. Gardner ripped off his entire theory from his colleague De Vere, but left out so many important details, trying to soften up the truth for a mass audience.

If you want to find out what it really means to be of the Dragon bloodline - if you want to find out who the Nephilim or fallen angels really were, or the true nature of "Starfire" sex magic rituals like those performed by Jesus and Mary Magdalen - if you want to learn what the true relationship is between the Grail and Satan - read the original book by Nicholas de Vere. Gardner boils everything down to space aliens, and mangles the true history of the Dragons trying to please the Wiccan and New Age crowd that buys his books.
