One interesting thing about the Necronomicon, which has come into our modern age of mystism, is that there is some remarkable preservation of mythology in the text. It really should be studied properly. Within the copy I have, a mainstream paperback, the "Mad Arab" tells the beginning of the world. Interestingly enough, it's goes for several verses almost word for word with the Enuma Elish, the Seven Tablets of Creation. The Mad Arab was writing perhaps around the first century A.D. and yet somewhere he came across some preserved writings of Babylonian religion. The Necronomicon should be studied from that point of view by anthropologists. It might be garbled but the Mad Arab did once have in possession some lost literature from Babylon and Sumeria. By the way, I am also awaiting the release of this program! I love Dragons and you can knock on my door to help in texture creation. I'm learning more on how to do it everyday!
