Intriguing read.
(I hope this is in the proper forum. It's my first post. :dsunny:)
then maybe it has happened like this...... 'You brood of viper's who warned you to flee from the
coming wrath" for there were giants in the earth in them days before the flood..and after...
Hi Cat Song ,
I read the short article and though they may think its from someone who wrote it in Babylon , it could very well be so and not exactly what Noah was dealing with
But if you would find any article writen by anyone of us who studied some bible story and wrote our own perceptions of what we think it means and some one discovered it 400 or 4000 years from now , they too might be in for a big surpise :winkgrin:
Every one of the many flood stories from around the world is adapted to the time, place, and culture. Among the American Indians, those who escaped the flood did so in a canoe (according to that myth). That doesn't make the Ark of Noah a canoe any more than the cuneiform account makes the Ark round, like the coracles the Sumerians commonly used. I take the Genesis account as the reference standard. However, remember too, that if events happened as Genesis describes, we would expect to see such accounts in other cultures, and we do. For instance, it is cleverly encoded into the traditional Chinese writing system.

Just wanted to welcome to to Tentmaker. I hope your time here will be profitable. I only know the story of Noah and the Ark. I think that it must have been huge. I tend to agree with Micah and Lazarus in that, IMO it (the flood) was relative to the size of the known world at that time, but I can't be I can't be totally sure. I think if there were to be another flood, it would be a lot bigger than the last one!
Shalom
Jock. :Peace2:
