Eden
"Between 1889 and 1900, archaeologists from the American University of Pennsylvania undertook extensive excavations on the site of Nippur, in the heart of ancient Mesopotamia. An extensive collection of Sumerian texts was thus brought to light, which included about ten tablets of major importance for the understanding of the biblical genesis and our origins... Anton Parks has been working for four years of intensive work, to finally restore the original essence of these priceless documents, and to expose it to us in this book. You will discover in the course of your reading that the beginning of the Genesis in the Bible is only a truncated version of what these newly retranslated tablets reveal." Nexus France, January, 2012 "Anton Parks, writer and specialist in Eastern cultures, has devoted himself to the study of written documents considered the oldest of humanity. By translating several tablets decorated with cuneiform signs missed by most specialists (Kharsağ tablets), dug up more than a century ago on the site of Nippur, (Iraq), Parks was able not only to retrace the story of our origins, but also to demonstrate that the Book of Genesis was only an unfortunate and distorted copy of such an event ... essential reading." Magazine Science et Inexpliqué No. 34, July-August 2013 "The work submitted by Anton Parks in Eden is rigorous, titanic, sharp, searchable and verifiable ... and its corollary is amazing! With its translations, everything makes sense and the text of Genesis becomes coherent: the creation of Adam by Yahweh to his expulsion from the garden through the Tree of Knowledge of the Good and the Evil, tree of Immortality or the Serpent advising Eve to eat the forbidden fruit... the "light" is finally cast on the darkness of this original text."

The missing link
For anyone interested in humanity's history, if your reading has led you, as it's lead me, to this book.....I believe you'll find a great deal of confirmation in your suppositions on Who We Are in these pages. And while I will say there is always room for doubt and or misinterpretation, which is a Human Quality, after all, I have to admit that Anton Parks has provided The Missing Link in our understanding of Who We Are, passionately and convincingly. I believe there are still a great deal of errors, but how could there NOT be, with the passage of such staggering amounts of time, and yet, if only with the mere Gist of the story, we are still capable of seeing the Gist of the truth. Imagine if we had the Whole Truth! Could we handle it? Are we ready for it? And, if we're not....... I'm reading this in Feb 2022. If the average Joe's of the world really knew Who They Are.....would we be where we are? Would we have allowed our governments to get away with what they are all (for the first time in the history of humanity) in total agreement on doing? Anywho! Read the book. You'll find it both explains everything, and at the same time, presents you with a whole host of questions and issues that are desperately needing resolution. Anton makes a statement, at the end, calling humanity's ability to be responsible into question. I rather agree. Are we grown up enough to recognize not just the need, but the necessity for our individual responsibility to be part of the solution? Or have we gotten comfortable with our laziness....extremely talented in saying, 'that's not my job's? Thank you, Anton , for all the hours of hard work put into this book!

Il suffit de lire l'épilogue pour comprendre l'interprétation que l'auteur fait des tablettes qu'il a déchiffrées. Le reste est plutôt constitué par la description de ses travaux et des différences qu'il retient par rapport aux autres traductions. Très suggestif, peu objectif !

The real story of the ancient genesis.
This book defines and explained the true written documentation of times. Another view of genesis through ancient clay inscription and the recorded view of what happened. It doesn't dismiss the bible version of genesis, but explains the watered down version compared to ancient and realistic view of this time period.

Amazing reading
This book is well organized and well written. Anton does it again. While at times is a bit hard to read, I can understand why some of the passages are necessary to engage the reader

The intriguing part of the book was when the book ended and the author weaved ancient text to the modern world. Write that book. However the creation story is from Sumur and is in the Old Testament. The tree of good and evil changed the world.

A fascinating scholarly analysis and comparison of the oldest Sumerian creation myths, with stone tablet translations, to the most popular religions today.
