520 2  "An exploration of the megalithic complex at Gobekli Tepe,
       who built it, and how it gave rise to legends regarding 
       the foundations of civilization. Details the layout, 
       architecture, and exquisite carvings at Gobekli Tepe. 
       Explores how it was built as a reaction to a global 
       cataclysm. Explains that it was the Watchers of the Book 
       of Enoch and the Anunnaki gods of Sumerian tradition who 
       created it. Reveals the location of the remains of the 
       Garden of Eden in the same region. Built at the end of the
       last Ice Age, the mysterious stone temple complex of 
       Gobekli Tepe in Turkey is one of the greatest challenges 
       to 21st century archaeology. As much as 7,000 years older 
       than the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge, its strange 
       buildings and rings of T-shaped monoliths--built with 
       stones weighing from 10 to 15 tons--show a level of 
       sophistication and artistic achievement unmatched until 
       the rise of the great civilizations of the ancient world, 
       Sumer, Egypt, and Babylon. Chronicling his travels to 
       Gobekli Tepe and surrounding sites, Andrew Collins details
       the layout, architecture, and exquisite relief carvings of
       Ice Age animals and human forms found at this 12,000-year-
       old megalithic complex, now recognized as the oldest stone
       architecture in the world. He explores how it was built as
       a reaction to a global cataclysm--the Great Flood in the 
       Bible--and explains how it served as a gateway and map to 
       the sky-world, the place of first creation, reached via a 
       bright star in the constellation of Cygnus. He reveals 
       those behind its construction as the Watchers of the Book 
       of Enoch and the Anunnaki gods of Sumerian tradition. 
       Unveiling Gobekli Tepe's foundational role in the rise of 
       civilization, Collins shows how it is connected to 
       humanity's creation in the Garden of Eden and the secrets 
       Adam passed to his son Seth, the founder of an angelic 
       race called the Sethites. In his search for Adam's 
       legendary Cave of Treasures, the author discovers the 
       Garden of Eden and the remains of the Tree of Life--in the
       same sacred region where Gobekli Tepe is being uncovered 
       today"--|cProvided by publisher.
