The present work is a scientific theory of the genesis of the human civilization 7000 years ago on the Balkan Peninsula. The theory is formulated on the basis of multilateral studies of chalcolithic archeologica lfinds and profound analyses of old testament Biblical texts by absolutely new alternative-logical methods.

"The world is so large that there is nothing that could not be!"

"I want to make it clear at this point that in my scientific theory of the genesis of human civilization I mean the first monotheistic religion in the history of the world - Judaism. According to the laws of logic, such a religion should be the most authentic and most reliable. That is why I consider absolutely imperative and topical to unite the efforts of scientists from various branches of cognition and to proceed to decipher the books of the Old Testament and give them their original shape. This means that in the nearest future we will be able to read the genuine guidelines to mankind, given by God Himself, in the original!
In fact, I think this is also the meaning of man's existence - living in accordance with God's will in true harmony and spiritual peace with our fellow human beings, regardless of race, faith and sex, with respect and admiration for the entire living Nature and the infinite Universe. The eternal Testaments of God - no matter what name we use to address Him - should become the guiding principle for the people of both the Third and the next millennia…
I am sure it will be so, for I profoundly believe in Divine Providence!

"I was impressed by the title and read the book with interest. I was shocked by the original approach of interpretation of the unyielding scientific facts - archaeological Chalcolithic finds and Old Testament texts. Their dialectical unity not only predetermines but also gives simple explanation of the complex historical process…

However, after the second reading I perceived very clearly the deep sense and justice of the term "God elected people". I am proud that I am a Jew - heir of the creators and generators of the human civilization during millennia."
