Or maybe it was inspired by the gods, and thus a true story?

As on the earlier thread, most will misread the headline, nit read the article and make uninformed comments.

No, Newsweek’s story about the 3000 year-old tablet is fake news.

Newsweek is in the business of lying as are their Leftist media buddies.

So Ea was the original founder of CNN, and not Ted Turner. Interesting.

Thank you for referencing that article ransom note. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

What’s diverse about swamp Democrats is they find all kinds of ways to “shine the headlights” in the eyes of the “deer” to stay out of jail.

My faith does not require it to be true, in the slightest way. That said, for anyone to do their own translation of such old text and use that as a basis for making definitive statements that they've disproved something held for thousands of years is a bit ridiculous.

A true intellectual approach to the world requires self-doubt and humility. Current self-described ‘intellectuals’ do not generally have these qualities.

No, the first example of Fake News is when Satan told Adam and Eve that God was holding out on them.

That’s a poetic technique, not “fake news” by any stretch.
Read some of Herodotus and it’s filled with “fake news” he gathered (and often tries to decipher).

Or that it was the sudden collapse of the Bosporus Dam, that flooded what was a below sea level freshwater lake, now the Black Sea, as supported by geologic evidence, 7500 years ago?

Perhaps the story of the Great Flood was handed down in tribal lore, until someone in Sumeria wrote it down?

And before you reject catastrophic flooding stories, out of hand, look up the Scablands of Eastern Washington State...

I'm offering it as a "suppose". Only Democrat/Socialist/Communists are blandly certain of the Absolute Truth of their theories.

At least the ending where God steals the sacred gay rainbow to use as some sort of right wing symbol is correct.
