Description: Alan Alford explains why religion as we know it is a 'dumbed down' form of a much older religious truth. Beginning with 4,500 year-old sacred texts, Alford reveals that God was originally conceived as a celestial body, which exploded and seeded the earth with its meterorites. And this discovery leads thim to unravel the secret meaning of the Flood and the creation of man. By comparing these pagan legends to their later biblical counterparts, Alford demonstrates how the the theology of the Old Testament was constructed upon half-truths.

Who or what were the gods of ancient mythology, who fought battles in the skies and came down from heaven to earth? In this book, Alan Alford decodes the sacred secrets of the world's oldest civilizations, and reveals that the God of the ancients was imagined to be a planet.
