OK you know where I'm going with this. When was that flood?
What I don't understand is this, people who make these kinds of discovers still believe in the Bible(flood). Apparently Egypt was destroyed in the flood and they forgot to mention it or folks were having a lot of babies and rebuiiled Egypt in record time. Maybe a lot of miracle babies, like Jesus.
I was always more of a, "the offspring of Noah re-discovered Egypt, learned 'how to do it' and continued where they left off, pre-flood", kind of guy.
Noah" God you told me the whole earth and I come over the hill and I lost my mind, people,pyramids,women,animals I have never seen before,WTH.
GOD: I told you, YOUR world. Who do you think your grandkids will marry, their cousins?
Excellent thread, James Mixon. I think this is one of the first things I realized that makes absolutely no sense. A sister in the congregation had gone to Eqypt and brought back pictures, and then said the pyramids were older than the flood. I immediately thought WT#*@!! and went home to research Egyptian history. So did the Egyptians all get washed away, and then somehow immediately came back and kept building their cities and monuments? Where would be the "gap" in their history where everyone was gone? If the Bible timeline is correct, how did the Egyptians get their start so early, and accomplish so much? How could Noah build the ark while travelling around even down into Egypt and North Africa (presumably) to preach to all the people there?
Good points. Also, consider China. It has one of the most history conscious societies in the world but no record of a flood that destroyed the nation less than four and a half thousand years ago.
Same with the Australian Aborigines.
Yes the Bible truth do not add up with actual truths. The question we must ask ourselves, Egypt Kingdom fell apart 4200 years ago and the flood 4200-5000 years ago the exact time of the flood allow 500 years give or take. Can a empire the size of Egypt develop in 500 years and the same with China???? I'am sure JW's will focus on that.
