Noah's Flood...

very funny but once you put science above God then science can not help you. science is not the definitive answer here because of its limitations.

you do not have enough time in life to dig up the world to prove the Bible right or wrong; at some point you must resort to faith no matter which path you choose to follow.

wooley found evidence for a flood during his excavations, most critics proclaimed that it could only be a local flood, yet they have no proof of that; but if you put wooley's discovery together with the blacksea and india's evidence then you have a greater picture that the world wide deluge is more accurate and true.

you can try to maipulate the facts but it doesn't hide the truth for long.

Thank you, but no. I live in the 21st century....not the 6th.

Click to enlarge.

Regarding the connection between Abraham and Brahma, we can see that the Indian Empire at it's maximum didn't reach to the Ur of the Chaldees.
The influence probably came from the connecting civilization of the Harrapans in the Indus Valley.

I'll post a link later.

"The Jews descend from the philosophers of India.

The Jews were not called "Jews" by anyone until the Babylonian conquest. The Babylonians renamed their new province Yehud and the name sort of stuck.

Well, yeah. But the issue is about a figure that looms large in two ancient civilizations.

Wooley's stupidity was first detected in the early 1940's. His 'flood' did not even cover the whole city! A classic example of a bible-thumper with a shovel in one hand and a bible in the other.

More rational scholarship is needed and fortunately we are now getting it!

I guess I should read all 25 pages, but why is there a thread about Ryan and Pitman since we know their idea about a Black Sea Flood is almost certainly wrong? (I presume that's been pointed out).

You are free to discuss anything related to archaeology here Doug.
Just post away.

BTW - I'm still agreeing with Ryan and Pitman, but that's a long story.

We had a Ryan and Pittman specialist, Daybrown, but she hasn't been around in a while.

I know Daybrown - she seems to be supporting them. She supports Gimbutas too.

Check her claims yourself would be my advice.
