-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Read something of a flood in the Middle East about the same time. They probably thought that was the whole planet. Dick

I once stepped in a puddle, but was not creative enough to start a myth about it.

You guys should check out the younger dryas and the melt water pulse 1a and 1b.
There was floods, and there is evidence in the landscape.
Randall Carlson has done a ton of research on this stuff.

OrgoneConclusion said: What is humorous (I don't have the facts in front of me), but the crew that built the imitation ark was in the hundreds (if not thousands) and even using modern tools, took longer than the non-carpenter Noah and his handful of kin with an ax and a hand saw.
The man-hour numbers and skill levels don't even remotely match up.
It is like building a Cheops pyramid with cranes & bulldozers and such.
While noahs ark is horseshit I agree, look in graham hancocks work, and star blabbering pseudoscience as he has multiple geologists backing him now.
Put it this way, for us, humans to wipe out the entire mammoth population in a matter of 100 to 200 years is beyond ridiculous to even consider. Mass extinction. Native tribes don't hunt animals to extinction now a days let alone back then, and with one of the most dangerous badass animals of that time period too

The Ark is a mythological/allegorical story. Obviously these types of literature contain elements of truth as well, but when they are raised to become myth/allegory the truth is stretched mightily beyond its original form, so that it can reach many more people and have added power.
i wouldnt even be surprised if this much was true : some dude back in the day tripped his nuts off and had a vision and was well aware of the environment and him and some buddies built a boat for him and his family and some of their animals - in order to wait it out and survive.
But all the animals? no. And a flooding of the whole world? no.
The point is the story imparts knowledge, hidden in symbols ie. esoteric. that give us a matrix to juxtapose over our lives with our imagination/minds so that we can have a context for various things in life and have them make some sense - real or conjured, it matters not. Its true enough for some.

I recommend Joseph Campbell and his book the Hero With a Thousand Faces, and The Heroes Journey. Campbell was a master at discerning and studying and translating old folklore, myth, religion, etc etc into clear, insightful , modern, universal form.

Ill have to check a couple books out from the library for the first time in a while it looks like. Thanks for the recommendation.
Been reading up on gobekli, the transfer from hunter gathers, and erosion in egypt. And it all makes perfect sense while those supporting the older out dated views remain stubborn to their work which contains plenty of holes and gapes in the narrative. That whole book, the bible is about tripping balls dude.
Back in the day I think the middle east actually knew how to get the fuck down. Plenty of acacia.
Which always made me wonder, just that child like wonder. Are they the visual cortex going apeshit when i hit the "loser" pipe. or is there something else to this universe than just our physical existence.
and not to get all tin foil, but rick straussmans (sp?) work was funded by the scottish rite... Interesting as hell considering these dudes love the combo of theology/philosophy

I was thinking the same thing. Am working thru that book now. The power of myth (another great Campbell book, ironically - but I'm talking about mythology and symbolism itself, not the book) has been lost to literal interpretation, unfortunately.
