The bulk of our new material is furnished by some early texts, written towards the close of the third millennium B.C. They incorporate traditions which extend in unbroken outline from their own period into the remote ages of the past, and claim to trace the history of man back to his creation. They represent the early national traditions of the Sumerian people, who preceded the Semites as the ruling race in Babylonia; and incidentally they necessitate a revision of current views with regard to the cradle of Babylonian civilization. The most remarkable of the new documents is one which relates in poetical narrative an account of the Creation, of Antediluvian history, and of the Deluge. It thus exhibits a close resemblance in structure to the corresponding Hebrew traditions, a resemblance that is not shared by the Semitic-Babylonian Versions at present known. But in matter the Sumerian tradition is more primitive than any of the Semitic versions. In spite of the fact that the text appears to have reached us in a magical setting, and to some extent in epitomized form, this early document enables us to tap the stream of tradition at a point far above any at which approach has hitherto been possible.

This book, Legends of Babylon and Egypt, contains good historical information on this mysterious and ancient civilization and its influence on the states surrounding theMediterranean. All ancient books, like this one are difficult to author because of translation difficulties consequently a reader can lose sight as to which is the messenger or what is the message. I think the translations for this books content are OK.

Legends of Babylon and Egypt in Relation to Hebrew Tradition Illustrated eBook Leonard W King Reviews
Great book...I love world history. I doubt many literal bible quoters today will like it...if leaked. Especially, the ones that love the first five books.
Interesting.
Thanks for that
This was really interesting and well written.
Loved it...Zarah was my favorite. The bible would have been much better with her. She is nearly like Indiana Jones girl friend eh.
Dating from post World War I this set of lectures examines recent archeological and linguistic finds relating to Biblical stories of creation and history
