This is not a review but the front cover blurb ... a foreword, if you like ... as there doesn't seem to be any description for this out-of-print book:-

“Some years ago a team of researchers left their headquarters at the Guttenbelli Foundation in Stockholm, bound for a systemic search of the Dead Sea. The small team, consisting of just 793 archaeologists, 971 trainee archaeologists, 4,835 labourers and a dietician, was armed only with primitive equipment: 35 heavy-duty mechanical diggers, two million dollars' worth of highly advanced sensory equipment and a snorkel.

In the course of their research the team came across an unmarked filing cabinet which, it later transpired, contained all the paperwork relating to The Creaation. Years of painstaking documentation followed, during which time the team slowly pieced together the real story of The Creation of The World, and the results of their studies are published here for the first time.

Through the numerous letters, invoices, brochures and telephone messages, we learn that an enormous property concern on the edge of the galaxy commissioned the project through their proven agent in the field: God. He in turn sub-contracted the work to a somewhat dubious firm known as the Cosmic and Universal Construction Co.

From the start, the project was doomed. The builders, whose usual line of work was restricted to double glazing and loft conversions, proved worse than totally incompetent ... the suppliers of fixtures and fittings were equally inept ... completion dates came and went, unheeded by the workmen ... the level of craftsmanship could most kindly be described as shoddy ... and there was even a strike by The Creation Workers Liberation Front.

The memoranda, telex messages and schedules - or The Creation Memos, as the contents of the Dead Sea Filing Cabinet came to be known - cover the series of unmitigated disasters more commonly referred to as The Creation of Heaven on Earth. It's a hell of a story."
