Download The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood AudioBook Free

Since the Victorian period, it's been understood that the storyline of Noah, iconic in the Book of Genesis, and a central motif in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, derives from a much elderly story that existed ages before in traditional Babylon. But the relationship between your Babylonian and biblical practices was shrouded in secret. Then, in '09 2009, Irving Finkel, a curator at the English Museum and a global authority on traditional Mesopotamia, found himself participating in detective when a member of the general public attained the museum with an intriguing cuneiform tablet from a family group collection. Not only have the tablet reveal a fresh version of the Babylonian Flood Story; the traditional poet described the size and completely unforeseen shape of the ark, and provided detailed sail boat building specs. Decoding this traditional communication wedge by cuneiform wedge, Dr. Finkel learned where the Babylonians believed the ark emerged to rest and developed a fresh explanation of how the old story in the end found its way in to the Bible. In The Ark Before Noah, Dr. Finkel will take us by using an adventurous voyage of finding, opening the entranceway to a enthralling world of traditional voices and new meanings.
