Archaeologica.org

actually its the view of most sane people in the world
that the bible is a collection of older stories rewritten into a monotheistic pattern
the fact that you don't know that and the fact that you are using the new international version and not the original hebrew text for your research shows to exactly what level your ability at biblical research is at
i.e. none you were raised with it and you don't care that its erroneous because you have been indoctrinated into a false belief system which worships an ancient pagan flood god

or in other words
you have nothing to add to your ridiculously tenuous connection of Biblical Genesis to Eden in Texas
thats what I thought
maybe next time you should think these sorts of thinsg through before you post them eh

Smithsonian Statement regarding the Book of Mormon

and your off the wall, defending your religion

Are Summerian texts not used to aid archological research

You're the one that dragged religion into this

oh and this seems to be a normal tactic of yours that I've heard three times now
1. bring religion into a scientific discussion
2. back out
3. claim the other person in the discussion is a religious nut

Ram, in limestone, prior to 14,000 B.P.

Let the religion go, boy, this is science

religion doesnt come into it
had you claimed there was a parallel with a harry potter text i would have said the same
fact of the matter is that you are allowing your personal belief to colour your theory
thats bad Charlie
and you know it
its not the way to do science

Hey guys. I've been down today with some kind of stomack bug...ugh.

A quick post here, and back to bed I go. Check into the story of Tubal-Cain, his brothers, and the flood that followed. One of Tubal-Cain's brothers, Jubal, is said to have been the father of all who play the harp and flute.

Quote:


19 Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute. 22 Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of [g] bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain's sister was Naamah.

Some intriguing parallels to the situation here:

Any mention of the Hebrew bible

you've never read it have you ?

Isengard was a stronghold guarding the Gap of Rohan at the southern end of the Misty Mountains. The impregnable Tower of Orthanc stood within the walls of Isengard. Isengard was originally an outpost of Gondor, but in the later part of the Third Age it was home to the Wizard Saruman. During the War of the Ring, Saruman was defeated and the walls of Isengard were torn down by the Ents, and the Tower of Orthanc was reclaimed by Gondor.

You didn't answer one question, though: Are Summerian texts used to aid archeology?

not as far as I know as they are regarded wholly as mythology
they are the result of archaeological excavation

btw there's only one "m" in Sumerian

But what about this?

so you agree then that people making tenuous claims based on the bible are religious nuts
thats what I thought

what about it ?
you think Gilgamesh is regarded today as a religious text ?
its a story
that consensus is agreed upon by everyone
even biblical scholars who would love to ignore it
