Speaking of Noah's Ark. Joe Rogan has a little something to say about it.
ROFLMAO!!!! emoji laughing icons filling the rest of this space!! too funny!!
LOL! I prefer the Sumerian text version of the Noah story, written 2000 years before the Bible. They claimed to have genetically engineered humans by mingling their DNA with that of human apes, but only made males who were stupid enough to work in the gold mines without complaint. The Sumerians needed the gold to fix the atmosphere on their home planet, for some reason, and their own people wouldn't do it.
They also genetically engineered domestic animals and plants, in the garden of Aiden.
But two of the genetic engineers felt sorry for the poor male slaves and secretly engineered a female. The first one, Lilith, had too much of their royal Draco DNA, so was too violent and scornful of the males. They made a second try, Eve, who was more compliant, but was also aware they were enslaved, and showed the men how to rebel.
The humans began breeding, and women being born were so beautiful that Anu eventually saw that his own Sumerian people were breeding with the human females, to his horror.
When the Sumerian home planet was about to make a near pass to earth, the leader, Anu, told his people the ice shelf in the Antarctic would break off and flood a third of the earth, so they were to withdraw in their space ships until the flood subsided, leaving the humans to die in the mines, to punish them for breeding with his people.
But two of the genetic engineers who had made the humans and animals, one of whom was named "The Serpent" for his wisdom, showed their favorite, Noah, how to make a submarine, and put the DNA of all the animals aboard, so they could engineer the animals again after the flood.
I think this version makes more sense. The pictures engraved on the stone Babylonian walls tell the story, with illustrations of Sumerian space ships, labs, test tubes, and showing their scientists working on making humans. It's very detailed and realistic.
Link:The origins of human beings according to ancient Sumerian texts [ancient-origins.net]?
That would make a great book or even a movie.
Sumerian texts are awesome to read, I love them!
@Freespirit64 Isn't that the premise covered in the book 'The Twelfth Planet' by Zecharia Sitchin? I really enjoyed the book and I believe have a paperback copy somewhere in my closet of stored stuff.
@silverotter11 oh fine...give me another book to go find...lol
@silverotter11 -- Yes, but Sitchin based all of his stuff on the Ancient Aliens of von Däniken, then said he had translated some cuneiform tablets. Von Däniken was full of it and Sitchen compounded things with that assertion that is not supported with anything but Sitchin's self delusions. Reference the works of Dr. Michael S. Heiser. Heiser is a xtian believer, but not a fundamentalist and he is a scholar of renown. He is honest and unflinching when dealing with facts.
@buzz13 -- You are a scholar of Middle Eastern languages, or an aficionado like myself?
@evidentialist Neither, I just enjoyed reading an alternet view and took the whole thing along the lines of science fiction, sorta like the Bible.
There are writings from a time long past and have thaey been interpreted correctly? Yes no who knows.
We have big stones that we we currently do not know for sure and for certain how they were moved, carved or stacked.
I enjoy murder mysteries too. And try not to take anything too serious.
@evidentialist No, not into languages I just enjoy reading about things that are interesting, I like to refer to myself as an info junky. My reading encompasses ancient history, science, biographies and such. I think if I was ever on Jeopardy I might win a ton of cash....LOL
