THE PARTHENON CODE: MANKIND’S HISTORY IN MARBLE Hardback book. List Price $29.95, on sale for $19.95 Plus $5.00 S&H = $24.95 Total. Greek myth and Greek art are inseparable. Greek art depicts the myth: Greek myth explains the art. And Greek myth, it turns out, is the story of mankind told from the Greeks’ religious perspective. It follows logically that within surviving Greek art, Greek myth’s visual counterpart, we have in our possession today a pictorial record of the history of the human race. And even more exciting, we have the keys to decoding the ancient sculpted and painted images. Ancient Greek religion, what we call mythology, tells the same story as the Book of Genesis except from the point of view that the serpent is the enlightener of mankind rather than our deceiver. Athena represents Eve, the reborn serpent's Eve in the new Greek age. She and the Parthenon and the entire ancient Greek religious system celebrate the rejuvenation and re-establishment of the way of Kain (Cain) after the Flood. Though on the one hand Greek idolatry violates the teaching of the Word of God, on the other, if properly understood, it reinforces the truth of the Scriptures. Hardback, 288 pages, 251 b&w illustrations, east pediment sculptures restored by computer artist Holmes Bryant.
