Query: An interesting account of ancient Iraq

I purchased this book because it contains information on The Flood taken from ancient accounts found in Iraq. They are similar in many respects to the account of Noah found in The Bible, but are different in some other respects, e.g., people and possessions that were placed aboard the ark. It is worthwhile reading for people studying comparitive religion (who do not have mindset on the issue). There is no doubt that a large flood occurred in the distant past (recent scientific evidence from the Black Sea indicates an event), but the information contained herein provides a different viewpoint.Besides the information indicated above, there is a wealth of information on ancient Iraq. The book is very useful for those people studying that era.
