Let me be the first to call bullsh*t.
Second that. I DO believe in christ and God, totally; but this really is BS. Call me an overly righteous SOB but this is what happened. Noah was a pakistani farmer living in the Indus River delta area. The Indus River floods irregularly, and he(his father/grandfather)had been flooded out before. So he built a 3 layer log raft 45’long, 8’wide 3’high on the high point of his land, anchoring it with a rope to a large tree, complete with goat skin tent, so that he could ride out the next river flood.
Instead along comes a 4 day hurricane with its storm surge of around 20’, or 15 cubits deep as it says in the story(just above the treetops which he knew were 15 cubits high). All the farm critters head for high ground(including snakes)as the hurricane’s flood waters rise. Thus a raft loaded with animals gets washed out into the Gulf of Arabia where from on the surface of a spherical earth it appears the whole world is covered with water.
It gets carried around in the great CCW gyre(northern hemisphere)and washes up on a sand bar some weeks later. They have to wade to the true shore at low tide(the water assuages). Noah goes back to farming, parties naked, etc. Three(illiterate)sons remember this traumatic story of being hurricane survivors and pass it on to their sons.
Seven generations go by and here Noah’s sheepherder descendents are sitting around a campfire, sipping adult beverages and telling fish stories. This is on the plains of shinar(iraq)where everyone is a GOD or SON of GOD, a macho monkey thing. So this old, and true, story of surviving a hurricane in pakistan gets jinned up : sand bar becomes Mt Ararat, 4 days of rain becomes 40 days, etc; and then told to the children that it is all perfectly true(see how GREAT a people we are, ie, early spin, hype, PR).
Still another 7 genertions go by and this old myth is taught as God’s truth to a young pakistani boy : ABRAM. As Marilyn Vos Savant(IQ 230)observed : you can convince a 5 year old of ANYTHING, a 95 year old of NOTHING.
So now you have IDIOTS finding noah’s ark every now and then on Mt Ararat when it was just a fish story invented around an iraqi campfire long ago by pakistani sheepherders. And of course, that means JEWS as well as ARABS, that claim ABRAHAM as their father, are pakistanis by genetic descent.
... and just what is it in your little, closed mind that makes you declare something so juvenile? Have you taken the time to study the many years' worth of evidence that supports this 'find'? That the Ark is perched atop Ararat?
No, you say??
Do that...............then come back. Thanks for playing.
