Uncovering the roots of forgotten lore
Welcome to the literary world of Robert Thornton. Based in Carson City, Nevada, my research delves deep into the ancient past to discover how early Mesopotamian traditions, Sumerian tablets, and lost civilizations shaped modern religious thought and timeless spiritual traditions.
Before Genesis: Recycled Religions and the Gods That Never Left
My debut book, Before Genesis: Recycled Religions and the Gods That Never Left, explores how ancient Mesopotamian archaeology and Sumerian texts echo throughout later religious scriptures. Investigate the parallels in creation accounts, forbidden knowledge, divine conflicts, and cataclysmic flood narratives, challenging the conventional timeline of human faith.
A fresh perspective on history and faith
Designed for passionate readers of history, comparative religion, and ancient mysteries, this work invites you to see sacred traditions in a transformative light. Discover how the Anunnaki and early regional lore may hold preserved historical memories, revealing the continuity between our ancient ancestors and modern worldviews.
Available editions and ongoing research
The book will be widely released in both paperback and e-book formats across leading retailers, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Explore ongoing commentary, research notes, and book release announcements on the blog as we continue peeling back the layers of our collective heritage.
