Fake news describes real historical record it doesn’t like as fake news.

The whole situation is a simple Babylonian misprint.

It was really about Noah’s Shark!

That Cambridge scholar must be an atheist.

Where was Babylon? In Mesopotamia - which included present day Iraq. Where was Abraham born, raised and from where he began his journey which led through what is now Arabia? Abraham was born in the Mesopotamian city of Ur, which was about 200 miles southeast of present day Baghdad.

Finding the earliest accounts of the “biblical flood” story in Mesopotamia is no surprise. In fact, given Abraham’s place of origin and that the stories of Genesis were passed on into Judaism by Abraham and his family and friends, it is quite normal for some of the oldest tales from the bible to be found near where the story of Abraham begins.

The two lines in question from the flood story in Babylonian are:

ina šēr(-)kukkī

ina lilâti ušaznanakkunūši šamūt kibāti

Well. Of course. We all knew that.

The NY Times was founded on September 18, 1851 - therefore this article is simply BS.

The Flood stories of Noah and others may be due to a cometary impact about 6,000 years ago. The large Burckle crater in the Indian Ocean has been dated to that time period and would have caused massive tsunamis and catastrophic rainfall and flooding due to a Shoemaker-Levy cascade of other impacts.
