Ancient history is the aggregate of past events from the beginning of writing and recorded human history and extending as far as post-classical history. This is a history book written for a general audience. It inherits it's title from the peculiar introduction to the story of Noah's flood, in the 6th chapter of the biblical Genesis, where the "sons of God" saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and took them as wives. There, they are described as "heroes of old" and "men of renown", supposedly at a time when mankind was just created, eight generations before Noah. It is about history and not theology, although it is difficult not to mention and discuss various theological ideas and trends. It is about setting aside any preconceived ideas and doctrinal notions, recovering the prehistory from the earliest chapters of Genesis, and placing them in their proper context. This book's intent is to reveal the historical facts behind the stories. Buy this book now.
