fairy story

[Riled Taff]

Interestingly a great many ancient cultures have a great flood fable, not just this one.

I read an article I think in new scientist that said that at one point Africa and Europe were connected at Gibraltar, and the Mediterranean was all land, but that it flooded at some point in human history.

Now that would have been a spectacular flood.

But the earth is only 6,000 years old?

The Sumerian flood story is one of the oldest known of any flood story in the world, as they are one of the earliest civilizations on earth (according to mainstream archeology) you have to wonder how they had myths passed down to them?

Wait, what? Then I've got it completely wrong.

Noah was a sprightly 600 years old when the flood came and died at 950 years old and people believe this stuff

With new ground-penetrating radar they are finding new things that change our timeline all the time, they have recently found a buried pyramid in Bolivia, it will be interesting to see what they dig up.

Although if they based their ages on lunar instead of solar cycles I guess it'd make more sense. Well the age, not the animals in a big boat part.

Gobekli Tepe is older than that.

No shit? I meant as in clay tablets or records, as it's under ground it's less likely to have been looted recently.

I bet there is some great stuff out there under the sea too.

You won't get the patients to eat it though.

Actually I got my flood stories mixed up. The refilling of the Mediterranean last happened 5.3 million years ago so it predates modern humans. The one I was thinking of was the med emptying into another sea.

This does not make sense now you've edited your post.

I'm sure Erich von Deniken would argue that there were.

Sorry, I'm very interested in this topic, if you didn't guess.

It's a bit like Conservative voters talking about Labour policy and Cardiff fans posting messages about Swansea. Quite easy to understand really.

C. As soon as its finished, immediately dive onto a football message board to mock the people who don't think it's nonsense.

Not at all. Labour economic policy, while being the stuff of fantasy, is very relevant to conservative voters if Millibandogets elected.

That's called critical thinking. You read or watch something, formulate an opinion and then discuss it. That has happened since Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum (and, obviously, since long before).

A better analogy would be for me to:

To my mind, some people either lead extremely dull and uninteresting lives wasting time discussing things they think are rubbish OR were abused by a nun or something.
