Maybe, in an all-too-human problem, we “can’t see the forest for the trees.” Maybe the evidence is all around us. Their descendants now fill the globe, never to forget the real event.Īnd as shown by the smallest of Chinese characters, maybe waiting on evidence of an ark on a mountain for “proof” isn’t the only option. The only credible way to understand the widespread, similar flood legends is to recognize that all people living today, even though separated geographically, linguistically and culturally, have descended from the few real people who survived a real global flood, on a real boat which eventually landed on a real mountain. Morris concluded with the following perspective: Were specifically eight persons saved? 9%.While the differences are not always trivial, the common essence of the stories is instructive, as compiled below: In his article “ Why Does Nearly Every Culture Have a Tradition of a Global Flood?”, John Morris, Ph.D., described his collection and analysis of more than 200 accounts around the world of an ancient flood event, originally reported by anthropologists, ethnologists and missionaries. (For more on these discoveries, see our article “ The Great Flood: Just a Bible Story?”) a Sumerian “Epic of Gilgamesh,” traceable in fragmentary tablets as far back as 2000 b.c.e., likewise paralleling the biblical account in many respects, right down to the release of a dove and raven at the end of the story, to see if the floodwaters had subsided. a Babylonian tablet documenting the same, including the biblical parallel of animals entering the ark two-by-two, dating back to around 1800 b.c.e. Such stories include a central Greek flood account dating to at least the first millennium b.c.e. Their research proceeds to analyze just that with regard to the Chinese word for “ship,” and many more besides, tracing the earliest development of the individual Chinese characters and how they remarkably relate to the biblical account. If the story of the flood recorded in Shu Jing is authentic, we reason that analysis of ancient Chinese characters which can be traced back to around 2500 b.c. Hence, most ancient Chinese history and legends are the compilations of people’s recollections by historians such as Confucius and Si Ma Qian. The original ancient Chinese texts were destroyed by various emperors over time when they felt threatened by them, most notably the Emperor Qin Shi Huang in 200 b.c. The ancient Book of Documents (Shu Jing), written around 1000 b.c., describes a gigantic flood so huge that it rose to heaven and drowned all the mountains and living things. This is an ancient Chinese account of a catastrophic event sometime in ancient history, one which can help explain the origin of the Chinese word for “ship.” As Kui Shin Voo, Rich Sheeley and Larry Hovee write in their research paper “ Noah’s Ark Hidden in the Ancient Chinese Characters”: Trim Size: 200.000mm x 200.000mm x 16.Again, this is not a biblical accounting.Children will love the interactive component of finding the hidden objects 'These are the actual images of Noahs Ark,' said Sertesen, who previously released a documentary about finding the ark in 2017.Includes Scripture references for further reading.Geophysicists also collect seeds and plants to determine the age of the region, Sertesen added.
