Genius of the Few: The Story of Those Who Founded the Garden in Eden

The Genius of the Few continues the author's earlier book - The Megalithic Odyssey - and carries the prehistoric research back to 8000 BC, when a group of sages, known to the Sumerians as the 'Annanage', and to the early people of the Middle East as the 'Shining Ones', settled in a fertile basin within the mountains of South Lebanon.

There they established an agricultural and animal breeding centre for their own survival and for teaching Early Man the elements of civilized living.

These sages, who seem to have been exploring for what was them an unknown world, were inevitably deified - in their absence - millenia after the events described. They founded the Hebrew race who carried the tribal memory of their homeland as the Garden in Eden, and of their benefactors as 'angels'. The leader of the group was remembered as Yahweh Elohim, and was later worshipped as 'God'.

Based on extensive research into ancient Middle Eastern languages and little known documents, The Genius of The Few challenges dogmatic interpretations of the biblical Book of Genesis and raises questions and probabilities that have immense implications for the study of prehistoric and modern religion.
