Editorial Reviews
Prof. Davis A. Young, Calvin College
"Your suggestions are creative and stimulating and should generate some interesting discussion. I think you are on the right track in attempting to glean pertinent information from all the flood stories and not just one. Your book is exceptionally well organized, written, and documented. The scientific matters you touch on appear to be accurate.
Book Description
This is a reconstruction of a lost story about a Sumerian king named Ziusudra, later known as Noah, who was king of the city-state Shuruppak about 2900 BC when a local river flood submerged his city. This book combines six surviving ancient versions of the flood story, separates the myth from the legend, and determines what the ark was, where it grounded (not on Mt. Ararat), where the flood hero sacrificed to the gods, and what he did afterwards.
