<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Despite its Harry Potter-like title, 'The Cave of Treasures' is replete with lost Biblical lore, from stories of the Patriarchs and the life of Jesus, to the bizarre 'Wind-Flood' that overthrew Ur, and from the Bethlehem Star to the mysterious Priest-King Melchizedek and the secret tomb of Adam. Extensively annotated, with 21 illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Despite its Harry Potter-like title, <em>The Book of the Cave of Treasures</em> is actually a rich seam of Jewish and Christian apocryphal lore, by means of which its 5th century author frames the story of Jesus in a truly cosmic context - as the inevitable conclusion of God's redemptive plan for humanity, set in train since the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise.</p><p>Along the way we are treated to a feast of extra-Biblical details: of the life of the Patriarchs; of the Wind-Flood that overthrew Ur of the Chaldees, Abraham's home; of the mysterious Priest-King Melchizedek; the origin of the Magi; the genealogy of Mary; and Adam's secret burial at the 'navel of the world', the very spot where Christ was later crucified.</p><p>Translated from the Syriac by Sir E.A.Wallis Budge, former curator of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum, the book is extensively annotated, and contains 21 illustrations.</p>
