Eden in the East – The Drowned Continent of Southeast Asia by Stephen Oppenheimer
Requirements: PDF Reader, 24.5 MB
Overview: This book completetly changes the established and conventional view of prehistory by relocating the Lost Eden—the world’s first civilisation—to Southeast Asia. At the end of the Ice Age, Southeast Asia formed a continent twice the size of India, which included Indochina, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Borneo. In Eden in the East, Stephen Oppenheimer puts forward the astonishing argument that here in southeast Asia—rather than in Mesopotamia where it is usually placed—was the lost civilization that fertilized the Great cultures of the Middle East 6,000 years ago. He produces evidence from ethnography, archaeology, oceanography, creation stories, myths, linguistics, and DNA analysis to argue that this founding civilization was destroyed by a catastrophic flood, caused by a rapid rise in the sea level at the end of the last ice age.
Professor Oppenheimer is the author of the acclaimed book EDEN IN THE EAST (Phoenix 1999), which places the cradle of civilisation – the ‘lost’ Eden – in the continent of Southeast Asia, now half drowned by the flood which followed the Ice Age, and OUT OF EDEN (2004) which was televised as a Discovery Special (Discovery/Channel 4).
