Description: On march 19th 2003, the US army enters Iraq. The chaos of war hides the destruction of the remains of the oldest known civilization : Sumer. 
Uruad, a recently discovered city of 4000 BC, is destroyed and its strange discoveries taken away by a commando that kills the archeologists in charge. Does it has something to do with the sumerian origin of the Genesis? With the fact that the DNA of the momies found in Uruad reminds of the Bible genealogy, from Adam and Eve to Abraham? 
That's what William Fisher, a british sumerologist, will find out at the end of a dangerous and extraordinary quest leading to the origins of mankind.
Was Iraq invaded to protect a secret that could change the world?
About Sumer :
The south east of Iraq is the place where the first known civilization lived from 3500 to 2000 BC. The Sumerians created the first writing known as cuneiform. They also created the first schools, the first urban life, the first parliament, the first epic poetry and were wrote down the first Creation Myth. They were known as the brilliant ancestors by all the succeeding peoples of Asia minor, Mesopotamia and Mediterranean sea. In the Genesis, the Hebrews claimed to be distant sons of the Sumerians by writing that Abraham was born in Ur, one of the first sumerian cities, which ziggurat (temple) is still visible in the security area of Talil US air base. Eden is located at the junction of Tigris and Euphrates, which is precisely in south east Iraq, where the Ancient cities of Sumer can be found. Several Bible verses were already existing in sumerian texts 1500 years before the Bible was written. For instance, Noah has its sumerian ancestor, named Ziusudra.  
Nobody knows where the Sumerians, calling themselves "the black heads", did come from, and why civilization suddenly appeared in that region.
