Noah Was A King Of Sumer

How does one get from a rather ordinary story of
one of many floods, to the biblical account
that is as noted earlier, as related to any real flood
as Paul Bunyan is to any real logger.

 

I am sure there were many floods on the Euphrates that flooded the southern estuaries.. What peaked my curiosity was the accounts in Dilmun that predated the Bible.

 

So, what point do you wish to make?

 

I think there is always a source of mythos..

The Hebrews had no historical narrative until after the exile in Babylon.

 

Source, sure, sometimes a kernel of fact, sometimes just the human mind.

Tales of "god" are all sourced in the human mind.

 

Its a great story... that's why it has survived.

 

Na'amah

Not necessarily. "he called for his pipe, called for his bowl, called for his fiddlers three" has survived, but not coz of any greatness.

Most of the bible is pretty lousy, as literature. Even worse, for factual content.

 

As a lost legend its pretty cool.

 

I speak to Chupacabre. He is in four parts. They all hear. Can you show proof otherwise?
All five parts talk back! Isnt that weird? its a mystery.

Um, if a legend is lost, how do you know anything about it?

 

Because of the thousands of cuneiform tablets at Dilmun and the life's work of Samuel Noah Kramer in translating Sumerian texts.
