i UNDERSTAND THAT THE Mayan calender is supposed 2 go back 2 August 13 3114 BC.
I hope these people who say these things have got their facts right!
The Dagon/Ishtar cult supposedly goes back 2 2500BC,110 years B4 Noah's flood, did this cult survive noah's flood or did noah worship Dagon/Ishtar.
Hummm, sounds like another positive point to prove that the great Flood of Noah's day, was not earthwide, but covered only a very great area, perhaps as far as "the eye could see". In that case, many "things" survived.

Then why build the ark? why not just move?

What about the words of Jesus and Peter about the flood. 1 Peter 3:20,Luke 17:26,27.They indicate that something happened, back in Noah's day, not that it was worldwide.Much of what I have read indicates that it was a local flood.But,as Czar asks,why not just move and not build an ark?

RIGHHHT............what's an ark?
Remember that the Hebrews likely borrowed the flood story from the Persians. The Persian's account is a much older version. It is an example of "after the fact" reasoning. 1. There was a great flood which appeared to be world wide 2. Life existed after the flood. 3. Therefore, someone must have built a boat. 4. That someone must have had advance warning of the event.
In all likelihood, the flood event, though catastrophic, was localized. The explanation outlined on the Discovery Channel a few years ago is well supported by research and would seem to be reasonable. My favorite explanation of Noah's flood, however, is the one outlined by comedian Bill Cosby. I think Avishai agrees with me.
Sheeeit avishai, now I gotta clean all this coca cola off the screen.
A few years ago when we were converting from analogue to digital television, we came across a new piece of kit called an ARC.
I tracked down the wav file of that for ever computer in the office. It makes a great start up sound :)
