Synopsis

For many years, I have been wondering whether the biblical patriarchs from Noah down to Abraham could be identified in historic sources outside the Bible. After many years of research, I finally unlocked the key and determined that, in fact, all of the Biblical patriarchs were real historic figures in ancient Sumerian and Assyrian documents. As has been shown to be the case with many historic figures from that time, the names given to these people in the ancient Sumerian and Assyrian records differ from those names in the Bible. However, the description of their act makes it possible to identify them in these ancient non-biblical records. Once that process began, I was able to flesh out the historical roles from these Bible Patriarchs played in the development of civilization after the flood. Just as Noah from the Bible has been known as Ziusudra and Utnapishtim in Sumerian and Babylonian records, so to have the other ten Biblical Patriarchs now been identified in history. This book begins with the sons of Shem and proceeds down to Abraham. In the process of making this discover, Mr. Norris has also been able to prove, from Non-Biblical sources, that these Patriarchs did in fact live very long as noted in the Bible.
