Description
The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood A remarkable discovery at the British Museum in 2008 sparked a fascinating detective story. A single, modest-sized Babylonian cuneiform tablet, dated to around 1850 BC, was brought in by a member of the public. This tablet proved to be of extraordinary importance, being a copy of the Babylonian Story of the Flood, a myth from ancient Mesopotamia that reveals instructions for building a large boat to survive a flood. Dr Irving Finkel, a world authority on the period, has made a groundbreaking interpretation of the myth through his pioneering work. By deciphering the story of the Flood, Dr Finkel has uncovered new and unexpected insights that shed light on this ancient tale. This book presents the result of his remarkable detective work, offering a fresh and compelling perspective on one of the most enduring myths of all time. Through his meticulous research and analysis, Dr Finkel has been able to decode the story of the Flood in ways that offer unanticipated revelations to readers. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in ancient history, archaeology, and the fascinating stories of the past.
