Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The Old Testament is the source of the biblical verses quoted in The Twelfth Planet. The credibility of the Bible was shaken by the acceptance of Evolution, but if Man evolved, then he could not have been created all at once by a deity who premeditated him.

#2

The Twelfth Planet is a narrative that attempts to answer the specific questions of When, How, Why and Wherefrom. It explains how the solar system was formed, an invading planet caught into solar orbit, and Earth and other parts of the solar system brought into being.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The first being considered to be truly manlike, the Advanced Australopithecus, existed in the same parts of Africa some 500,000 years ago. The first primitive Man, Neanderthal, lived around 35,000 years ago. Modern Men, named Cro-Magnon, looked so much like us that they would be lost in the crowds of any European or American city.

#2

The ancestors of modern Man appeared about 300,000 years ago, during a period when Earth was going through an ice age. They were a sudden and revolutionary civilization that lacked some of the peculiarities of the previous types.

#3

The uplands and mountain ranges that extend from the Zagros Mountains in the east to the Ararat and Taurus ranges in the north are replete with caves where the evidence of prehistoric but modern man has been preserved.

#4

The first farming venture was the cultivation of wheat and barley, which was probably done through the domestication of a wild variety of emmer. The origins of the grapevine were in the mountains around northern Mesopotamia and in Syria and Palestine.

#5

The first orchard was in the Land of Israel, and it was there that the first domesticated plants and animals were created. The process of plant domestication went from wild grasses to wild cereals to cultivated cereals, followed by fruit-bearing shrubs and trees.

#6

The name Middle Stone Age is somewhat appropriate, as Man’s principal raw material was still stone. However, the Age of Domestication, which began around 11,000 B. C. , is more appropriate, as Man became a farmer and wild plants and animals were domesticated.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

The fact that the Greek and Roman civilizations were based on a borrowed Egyptian culture was proven when the Egyptian script and language were deciphered and studied. The pre-Hellenic cultures of the Aegean Sea, the Minoan on the island of Crete and the Mycenaean on the Greek mainland, revealed evidence that the Near Eastern, not the Egyptian, culture had been adopted.

#2

The scholars knew that the Achaemenids, the Persian kings, were descendants of the Indo-European people who invaded India and Iran in the first millennium B. C. Yet the Old Testament treated them as part and parcel of biblical events.

#3

The English archaeologist Austen Henry Layard selected a site ten miles down the Tigris River from Khorsabad, and the natives called it Kuyunjik. It turned out to be the Assyrian capital of Nineveh. The area where the remains of Esarhaddon's palaces are believed to lie cannot be excavated, for it is now the site of a Muslim mosque.

#4

The ruins of Mesopotamia have provided conclusive evidence that there once existed a kingdom by the name of Akkad, established by a much earlier ruler, who called himself a sharrukin. He claimed in his inscriptions that his empire stretched from the Lower Sea to the Upper Sea.

#5

The mystery of an early Mesopotamian civilization was solved when archaeologists found inscriptions recording the achievements and genealogy of Sargon of Akkad, who was said to have been a counselor to the rulers of Kish. The inscriptions stated that his full title was King of Akkad, King of Kish.

#6

The script used to write Akkadian was not phonetic syllables, but signs that conveyed the meanings god, city, country, or life, exalted, and the like. It was soon clear that an earlier language, and not just an earlier form of writing, was involved here.

#7

The first significant excavation of a Sumerian site was begun in 1877 by French archaeologists. The finds from this single site were so extensive that others continued to dig there until 1933 without completing the job.

#8

The Sumerians, the first great civilization known to Man, were able to build complex temples using only a simple floor plan and seven varying scales. They were able to organize and feed a huge labor force, and they brought rare metals and other materials from afar.

#9

The Sumerians were the first civilization to use clay to create documents, and they were also the first to use mathematics to calculate prices and measure fields. They invented the kiln, which made it possible to fire clay products in order to give them tensile strength.

#10

The Bronze Age was a Mesopotamian contribution to modern civilization. The many varieties of metals and alloys for which Sumerian and Akkadian names have been found and the extensive technological terminology attest to the high level of metallurgy in ancient Mesopotamia.

#11

The library of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh included a medical section. The texts were divided into three groups: bultitu, shipir bel imti, and urti mashmashshe. They were used to treat patients, and they did not resort to magic or sorcery.

#12

Sumer was a civilization that was known for its textile and clothing industries, as well as its agriculture. The land between the rivers was a veritable food basket in ancient times.

#13

The Sumerians had a thrivi
