The Great pyramid has been stardated 2 2478 BC(approxiametly) B4 noah's flood.
Joshua victory(when the sun didn't set) 1404 BC
Amos written about June 15 763 BC
A REASONABLE PROPOSAL; Y NOT EXAMINE THE GREAT PYRAMID 4 SIGNS OF THE GLOBAL DELUGE, IF SUCH AN EVENT OCCURED
A cataclysmic flood did occur -- it was not global though. Read Noah's Flood by William Ryan and Walter Pitman ISBN 0-684-81052-2 Publisher Simon and Schuster
Also another interesting question about noah's flood is this;
what did noah eat after the flood,b/c THEY WOULDN'T have been able 2 grow food or hunt animals b/c they were only 2 of each animal.
Also presumely some of the animals were carnivious(sp?) and wouldn't have 2 eat the other animals or they would have been left 2 eat.
IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN REAR IN THE GB THAT SOME OF THE ANIAMALS NOAH TOOK WITH WRE IN PAIRS OF 7 FOR FOOD
Let me C, did he take 7 clean animals in2 the ark.
Am I correct?
You have raised an interesting point - If a global deluge, like the Bible describes, actually occured, then it must have left certain signs.
For example, flood damage on the pyramids. Also, the age and condition of the polar ice cap. And, how about the written history of the Chinese, Egyptians, Indians, etc, who all had flourishing civilizations before, during, and after the supposed flood.
In other words, there is a ton of evidence that the flood never happened.
It is more likely 2 have been a localized flood.
One thing that makes it difficult to look for signs of flood damage on the pyramids. Is what we see today are not the outer stones of the pyramids. They where originally cover in a layer of white limestone, giving the sides a white smooth flat appearance. Some archaeologists suggest that they may even have been painted with figures. These outer stones have disappeared, and may have been used for local homes.
Also some archaeologists believe that the Sphinx shows sign of extensive water damage. Claiming that at some time there must of been a periods of heavy rain in the area, which is now desert.
Y 4 U tlk so fny?
A greek named Solon who visited Egypt claimed to visit the temple of the goddess Neith. Conversation with a priest there led to him being shown astronomical records showing solar and lunar eclipses for the previous 10,000 years. If this is true, then Egyptian civilization could be far older than current evidence supports. Solons account may be apocryphal, however, even if Egyptian civilization is no older than current teachings say it is, this would still be sufficiently old to have been around for the alleged "world-wide" flood. The interesting thing is, the Egyptians somehow didn't even notice. Neither did the Indians, Chinese, etc. I second the recommendation for the book "Noahs Flood" by Ryan and Pitman. It is based on sound evidence, and proposes a reasonable basis for the flood legend. This was also recently shown as a special on PBS (I believe on the show Nova). Basically, as the ice melted at the end of the last glaciation, sea level rose worldwide. There were humans living all over Europe, Asia, and Africa by this time, and some had settled around the shores of what is now the Black Sea. With sea level hundreds of feet lower than at present, the Black Sea was not connected to the Mediterranean, but was a much smaller body of fresh water. Of course, people lived near its shores, for the water and the game which would come to drink there. As sea level rose, however, it reached the point where salt water from the Mediterranean breached the land, and began spilling into the Black Sea. Eventually, erosion allowed the trickle of water to become a raging torrent, and the villages around the Black Sea were submerged. People abandoned their villages and moved to other regions, including southeast into Canaan. They told their story of a huge flood which wiped out their home over many generations and thousands of years before it was written down. No surprise that there are flood legends in many cultures. "Noahs Flood" by Ryan and Pitman.....good book.
