Book excerpt: One of the characters who has fascinated readers of the Hebrew Bible more than almost any other person is a man named Nimrod, whose brief biography is hidden away in Genesis 10. He was a powerful king who built his kingdom in southern Mesopotamia, then expanded it by venturing northward and conquering and building up cities in Assyria. Since Moses wrote about Nimrod before his death in 1406 BC, the options are limited for the identity of this ancient Near Eastern empire builder. Historical evidence from archaeology, ancient texts, and ancient drawings points to only one man who fits the description of biblical Nimrod. In this book, Dr. Petrovich attempts to weed out the wrongly identified candidates and prove to the reader just who in history can be equated confidently with Nimrod the empire builder.
