Lost Tribe of Eden Michael Lechtman

How did our world get started? Various cultures throughout history tend to tell the same story, each slightly different, but all of them starting with a mythical Garden of Eden, and a man and a woman. These stories presume that the history of the world is linear, and that our world happened only once, from a beginning, to where we are now. But is this really how we came to be? Across time, and across continents, here on earth, Lost Tribe of Eden suggests a different answer to our origin, its demise, and its rebirth. Nicholas Blastin, a Yale environmental professor, stumbles on a lost civilization, Haholom, deep below the Amazon Rain Forest. He is forced to live there, while the world he knows is destroyed and reduced to ashes; and Haholom continues to flourish. Nicholas leaves behind a manuscript, the Jungle Scrolls, which is discovered millennia later. It tells the story of how the world was renewed once again, by Nicholas Blastin, Miriam, and The Lost Tribe of Eden.
