Book 4: Pre-Flood Civilizations and the Sumerian Origins plunges readers deep into the oldest myths and memories of humanity, where history, theology, and cosmic mathematics intertwine. At its heart stands the Sumerian King List, a document that recounts the reigns of antediluvian kings who ruled not for decades but for tens of thousands of years. Their extraordinary longevity, totaling 432,000 years, transforms political history into a cosmic drama-an age when kingship itself "descended from heaven" and human order was bound directly to the divine.

This volume explores the blurred line between myth and memory. From the first city of Eridu-seat of the god Enki and the cradle of civilization-to Shuruppak and the flood traditions that echo through Mesopotamia, the text shows how ancient peoples anchored fragile societies in eternal rhythms. It examines how reign lengths were tied to astronomical cycles, how myths of Alulim, En-men-dur-ana, and Ubara-Tutu may conceal dim memories of real rulers, and how the theology of divine kingship legitimized authority while binding it to cosmic law. Comparisons with Genesis, Hindu yugas, and global flood traditions reveal a shared human impulse to structure time through sacred numbers and archetypal rulers.

Richly weaving archaeology, mythology, and comparative cosmology, this book is more than an analysis of ancient texts-it is a meditation on how civilizations conceived of eternity, decline, catastrophe, and renewal. It speaks to the weight of time, the resilience of kingship, and the enduring human need to find meaning in these cycles of history.
