From author:
     We are children of space catastrophy supposedly. We all are part of stars. And not figuratively, but literally. Our bodies consist atoms of elements emerged during explosion of supernew star. So, our bodies are related with space and space catastrophes. But spiritual and physical history of mankind are also full decisive events, sometimes related with catastrophes, sometimes with revolutionary conversions, violently changing hitherto existing run of history. They are known to historians changes manners of people lives having place in prehistory. They are called mesolithic turning-point or neolithic revolution. History is full of overturns, in which was fashioned essence of our humanity. Industrial revolution in closest period or performing on our eyes , microprocessor technical revolution, are examples of such moments in human history. Violent political changes join with economic, social and conciousnes changes signify points of acceleration or bends in course of human history. This eventful periods of history, are full of bloody conflicts and hard social changes, in which borns completely other, new world. One of such first great turning-point in historical times, so in times after written sources remain, this is period of top bloom and then unprecedented decay of civilization Ur, III Sumerian dynasty.
     It include time-frames of events described in the hereby story from last quarter XXII century B.C. untill the half of XX century B.C. Living in those times person of biblical patriarch Abraham joining history of Near East, which was all over the world for its contemporary inhabitant. Gold years of Sumer times III dynasty of Ur and it's enigmatic decay, as well as sheltered by fog past history of Egypt - called first temporary period and beginnings called medium state, they are extremely interesting by the reason of carrying on battles and politically - religious conversions. However, it belongs to remember, that those are also times of very high level of culture and arts, particularly architecture and literatures, which it will not achieve similar altitudesl in next centuries. Thousands clay tables found in ruins of long time ago departed civilizations discovers us fascinating world gods and humans. History hided on clay tables and stone steles interlace with mythological threads. Base which is made up the books of the old testament, this is nothing else, than package of traditions exactly in that part taken from earliest sumerian, babylonian and assyrian sources. Fascinating polytheistic world, tending through henotheism towards monotheism. Biblical fates of main hero have been completed by means of biblical and midrashic reticences. Main hero - humanized in this story, receives features of statesman, person of high culture and morality, as well as many talents e.g. diplomatics and militaries. He's authentic sophisticated Sumer (man of Sumer) but not simple Beduin, traveling by desert. If such, could be remembered as father of many nations?
     As in the Bible so in this story words are particularly important. Terminology of names has been presented maximally approximated to proper this names in described epoch. Four thousand years ago hellenic names was unused yet, which are misused in even best textbooks. So, there was intention of author except supplying entertainment admirers of historic novels, more interesting than school-bookish presentation of history of this period. This period is known not enough, but yet extremely original and interesting, determine genuine roots of later antique civilizations and even hebrew beliefs. So, this period determines true substructure of our today's culture and indirectly base of modern civilization.
