ANNAPOLIS, MD /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Did ancient Greek artists
depict Kain (Cain) killing Abel on their most glorious temple, the
Parthenon? Yes, according to Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr., author of 'The
Parthenon Code: Mankind's History in Marble,' new from Solving Light
Books.
Johnson's book relates that the story of Kain killing Abel appeared on
four square sculpted panels in the center of the south side of the
Parthenon. While these were destroyed in the explosion of 1687,
accurate drawings of them from 1674 by French artist, Jacques Carrey,
survive. On the first panel, according to the book, Kain and Abel
talk. On the second, Kain argues with his own wife over a sacrifice.
On the third, Kain startles Abel in the field. On the fourth, Kain
kills Abel.
Kain was the eldest son of Adam and Eve; Seth, who replaced the
murdered Abel, was their youngest son. Genesis asserts that only
Noah's family of the line of Seth survived the Flood; all others who
practiced the anti-God way of Kain drowned. According to "The
Parthenon Code," the Greeks depicted their recollection of Noah's
Flood often on vases as Kentaurs (or Centaurs, half-men/half-horses
who represented the line of Seth), pounding a man named Kaineus into
the earth with rocks. Kaineus in Greek means "pertaining to Kain,"
thus Greek artists conveyed the historical message that all that
pertained to Kain had disappeared into the earth, matching the Genesis
account.
"The evidence shows that the Greeks knew exactly who Kain was. Their
entire religious system, what we erroneously call 'myth,' chronicles
the reestablishment of the way of Kain after the Flood," Mr. Johnson
said.
"The Greeks also knew exactly who Noah was: they called him Nereus,
the 'Wet One' often depicting his bottom half as a fish signifying
that he had come through the Flood. The Greeks built the Parthenon to
celebrate the triumph of the way of Kain over Noah and his God, and to
glorify Athena, a picture of the serpent-friendly Eve of Genesis," he
added.

"The Parthenon Code" is already the best-selling book on the Parthenon
at amazon.com and bn.com. Barnes & Noble (Bookstores) has chosen the
book for special recognition during its small press celebration
throughout March.

OK Kooks. Worm your way outta this.
The Greeks have ZERO connection to religion or to the middle east.
Their stories (mythologies) are based on the actual stories that are
thousands of years old and clearly show that Adam and his genealogy
are well known. This included Noah's generations.
The ancients do not lie.
