A fascinating book which goes into detail about her identifying the Biblical Cain with Sargon king of Agade. Her entire theory towards the date of Sargon rests on the cylinder of Nabonidus where it stated that Naram-Sin, reigned 3200 years before him, which would of made Sargon's reign in 3750 BC. Most Assyriologist of the time believe the scribe made a mistake by adding one more wedge to the number creating a 1000 year mistake. Further all the king lists that I have seen show Naram-Sin ruling nearly 80 years later. Surely not his son. Budge lists Sargon at 2637 BC and Kramer in appendix of his book "The Sumerians" shows Naram-Sin as a grandson. Although I don't know what current scholars think about this I intend to find out. Her other ideas concerning Cain and how the biblical account has been possibly perverted by the Sumerians rather than the Hebrews taking their ideas from the Sumerians is good reading and gives food for thought. It all might not be proveable in the end but who knows, it definitely needs clashing against more modern information. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In this book, first published in 1927, British painter and writer Sydney Bristowe describes her Cain-Sargon of Akkad equation theory. She asserts that, by reconstructing the ancient chronology of Mesopotamia based on the Cylinder of Nabonidus, the cylinder dates Naram-Sin, son of Sargon of Accad, 3200 years before Nabonidus, and so Sargon to c. 3800 BC. This contrasts sharply with mainstream scholarship which dates Sargon to the 23rd century BC. Bristowe defends the earlier dating from the cylinder and then argues that Sargon was the Biblical Cain. Her Cain-Sargon theory received support from British Israelites and proponents of Christian, and a sequel titled Cain-An Argument was subsequently published in 1950.
