More DescriptionIn this fictionalized account of the Biblical journey of Noah's Ark, the author transposes the time and characters to the Sumarian civilization in Mesopotamia, around five thousand years BC. Dr. Aaron Chase, a world-renowned Biblical archeologist and leading expert in ancient languages is asked to translate 70 clay tablets allegedly recovered from an ark discovered on Mount Ararat, the purported resting place of Noah's Ark. The ancient tablets tell of a cataclysmic event that flooded most of the earth. Warned by a god that only he saw and heard, Noah builds an Ark to save his family and friends, as well as the myriad of creatures that inhabit the earth. Malachi, one of Noah's nephews and a physician, narrates the story of that dark and terrible journey. It was a time when civilization was young, religion was just taking form and monotheism was a nascent idea. The story of the great flood and the ark that survived examines not only one man's steadfast belief in his god but also the origins of civilization, the forces that drew people together and the dominance of one group of people over another.
