Egypt shock: Dead Sea Scroll scan suggests Noah's Ark 'was Great Pyramid of Giza'
Express (UK) ^ | Wednesday, February 19, 2020 | Callum Hoare

Matthew Sibson has put forward a theory that the story actually retold a great flood in the Middle East, where Egypt's high-rankers used the Great Pyramid of Giza to shield from disaster.

Mr Sibson's theory is based on a bombshell discovery in 2016, he revealed on his YouTube Channel "Ancient Architects".

He said last week: "The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered by Bedouin shepherds more than 50 years ago in the Qumran Caves in the Judean Desert of the West Bank near the Dead Sea.

"The find contained around 800 manuscripts, thought to be around 2,000 years old and contain a range of biblical and non-biblical stories, offering experts a glimpse into the past.

"Some have called it the greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century, but scientists working at the Leon Levy Dead Sea Scrolls Digital Library Project scanned tens of thousands of fragments of the scrolls with a custom-made camera, that used different wavelengths of light at 28 times higher resolution than standard scans.

"Previously illegible words could now be read.

"Before then, regarding the story of Noah's Ark, scholars had been unable to read a particular word following the Hebrew phrase 'the ark's tallness,' but the new scans revealed the word 'ne'esefat.'

"The translation of this word from Hebrew to English means gathered, which Dr Alexey Yuditsky from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem says means that the ark's ribs were gathered at the top to form a shape of a pyramid."

...He added: "According to Yuditsky, the Septuagint - a Greek translation of the Old Testament, which dates to the third century BC, also describes the ark as pyramid-shaped, using a Greek verb that also has a similar meaning to 'gathered'.

One of the secrets of the pyramid was the carpenter room that had numerous chain saws, planers, table saws, along with other equipment.

Noah found a way to use animal poop to produce high grade gas. He used it to run gas engines and generators for electric equipment. He recycled the saw dust by feeding it to termites that gave off methane, which he captured to run the cooking stoves that cooked the food hr fed to his crew.

He was the Ben Franklin of his time.

The Bible says it was made of “gopher wood”.

The water damage is from rain running down the face of the stone. The area was a rain forest 12,000 years ago.

And building the Ark as described out of wood with the tools of the time would take 3000 man years.

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Always read the footnotes. That’s about as good as the Presidential polling data the day after New Hampshire.

Nile flooding would leave it undercut; the erosion is clearly rain-induced.

Estimates range from 120 years on down, based on the Biblical account in Genesis. One common estimate is about 70 years.

Noah didn’t work on his own - we know he had three sons. And nothing says he didn’t hire a crew, either. So, if we go with 3000 man years, a crew of 43 men is 70 years. If 120 years, only 25 men.

(With modern tools and crew, it only took 3 years for the full-scale model in Kentucky...)

Yep. Chart seem right. I don’t hear anyone calling for the entire country to shutdown and suffer due to the flu being around.

You really shouldn’t use sizing on images since it screw up everyone else.

Nonsense. The Great Pyramid was built later, by Joseph, to store grain during the seven years of plenty.

At least that's what some people believe.

“The ark was made of stone blocks?”

No wonder all the Unicorns died.
