Review......
"Of
no less importance and substance than the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh,
the O'Brien scholarship applied to the linked Kharsag Epics
now demands the recognition and respect it has long deserved
from the archaeological establishment" - "The fact
that O'Brien, using his milti-disciplinary skills, brings so
much additional evidence in support of his basic thesis for
the revision of the Genesis text
into a down to earth farming story, must encourage other scholars
to climb out of religious straightjackets and seek to confirm
the truth."
Edmund
Marriage - The Patrick Foundation.
"This
book is a neglected classic which has a revolutionary thesis
of fundamental importance to our understanding of the ancient
past" - "Based on the O'Brien deep knowledge of ancient
Middle Eastern sites and languages, it completely re-interprets
the origins of civilisation and pushes the dates back by thousands
of years".
Nigel
Blair - Author and Coordinator of the Wessex
Research Group Network.
"As
a result of Christian O'Brien's translation of this ancient
story from these clay tablets from the Nippur library, the whole
Genesis story lies open for re-examination" - "In
writing about books, Francis Bacon declared that there were
some few to be chewed and digested - The Genius of the Few is
such a book".
Joel
Disher - The Rosicrucian Digest, USA.
"The
thesis of the book is so startling that it should have caused
a major controversy when it was first published. However it
was too controversial for the scholars and too sober and erudite
for the popular audience, yet since that time it has attracted
a growing number of readers. With its careful, scholarly and
un-sensational approach, the evidence for the real existence
of the Anannage as the founders of civilization strikes me as
fascinating and convincing".
Colin
Wilson - Best selling author and broadcaster.
"Stunning
! - This book has everything to commend it as a valuable academic
gem - it certainly rates as a Five Star accomplishment".
Sir
Lawrence Gardiner - Author and acclaimed sovereign
and chivalric genealogist.
"I
have placed it in the Department Library where I am sure it
will be most useful as it is likely to provoke response from
archaeologists and scientists of all types. You are to be congratulated
on producing such a work".
Dr Irving
Finkel - Western Asiatic Department of the British
Museum.
