The Chaldean Account of Genesis / Containing the description of the creation, the fall of / man, the deluge, the tower of Babel, the times of the / patriarchs [PDF ebook] 
(Illustrated Edition)

Containing The Description Of The Creation, The Deluge, The Tower Of Babel, The Destruction Of Sodom, The Times Of The Patriarchs, And Nimrod; Babylonian Fables, And Legends Of The Gods; From The Cuneiform Inscriptions.
The discovery of the Nineveh library from afar antiquity and the translation of the clay tablets shows us that civilization and the stories in Genesis are much older than anyone dreamed. Gives an excellent account of the myths that modern day Abrahamic religions are built on. This book is a good starting place for a understanding of the Christian myths.
