You may have wondered who first penned the biblical Genesis account and where its familiar stories originated. Many believe it was written by Moses. Others consider it merely a collection of older fables that were restructured and compiled after the Jews returned from exile in Babylon. Recently, scholars have uncovered another explanation that defies belief! ¶ The first intelligent life on Earth may have arrived here from another world, according to a number of recently discovered 5,000 year-old cuneiform texts. This fantastic tale may have actually been documented by an individual who claimed to be one of many ancient explorers who traveled to Earth from another planet. In the oldest Mesopotamian myths, he is credited with having made the first humans and guiding the development of Earth's first civilization. ¶ Written in his own words, the author of this book's ancient autobiographical account may have been the creator of mankind. His influence can be found in every major religion on our planet. ¶ The following is from an editorial review by Peter M. Fitzpatrick: ¶ "I have sought to find additional truths underlying biblical texts by researching historical and archeological data." ¶ Sumerian literature, lately rediscovered through archeological relics over 5,000 years old, is composed of cuneiform letters that are difficult to translate. As a result, widely varying interpretations of its meaning have fueled controversial theories, the most famous perhaps being those of Zechariah Sitchin. His ideas about ancient astronauts from a planet beyond Neptune that mine gold on Earth by genetically engineering Homo erectus with their own DNA to produce Homo Sapiens, are echoed here. Kerry frames his narrative in the recollections of the Biblical Nehemiah as he is returning to Israel after the Babylonian Captivity. His memory of the Sumerian shards he was made to translate lead to a "flashback" style of recasting the Book of Genesis retold as if "Elohim" was in fact an ancient astronaut. The planet of origin is updated to the recently mapped Eris, 27 [percent] more massive than Pluto. All "tree-of life" references are interpreted as being symbolic of DNA strands. ¶ The book is very heavy on theme, of course, the Biblical language of the ancient astronauts almost a word-for-word transliteration of passages from Genesis...The plot is Epic, of course, the creation of modern humans. --The US Review of Books at https://www.theusreview.com/reviews/Elohim-Barger.html
