I tried to contact seller twice and never got a response other then that the transaction went pretty good if seller tried harder to answer questions i would have given a 5 star review but because i had trouble getting in contact with him, and still haven’t heard from them and book is already delivered ill leave a 4 star review i would recommend this seller

    Just as described, book is in a very good condition besides minor folds but that was expected. The only complaint is that the packaging was ripped, thankfully it didn’t rain by the time it got delivered bc otherwise it would’ve been damaged. Good product overall.

  • Great perspective of an ark prior to Noah’s.

    Great perspective of the Sumerian flood story and more interesting how a coracle was built. Very detailed account from the cuneiform tablets. Finkle reads cuneiform and explains it in a very colorful way any some humor. He is curator at the museum of London. I’ve read it twice. He discusses the ark 1,000 to 1,500 before the biblical account of Noah. The boat of the Sumerians is quite different and made of totally different materials, mainly reeds. Much simpler construction than Noah’s ark and very sea worthy. Iraqis were still making them up to the 1950s. 5,000 year old design.
