Historical Babylonian map factors to Noah’s Ark?

For years, consultants thought the pill was only a symbolic diagram. Now, new analysis by Irving Finkel and Edith Horsley reveals one thing surprising, it’s not fable, it’s an actual map of the traditional world. And one mysterious inscription on it would level on to the mountain the place the Ark got here to relaxation. 

The pill describes eight distant lands past the “Bitter River,” the good ocean surrounding Babylon. A kind of lands mentions a “Nice Wall”, towering timber, and one thing referred to as parsiktu, a phrase that solely seems as soon as elsewhere in all Mesopotamian writings: within the flood story of Atrahasis, the Babylonian Noah. The connection is jaw-dropping. 

This single phrase ties the world’s first map on to the world’s first flood story. In accordance with Finkel, the lacking piece of the pill describes the very mountain the place the Ark landed,  in a area historic scribes referred to as Urartu, now japanese Turkey and Armenia… house of Mount Ararat. 

For hundreds of years, explorers and pilgrims have searched Ararat’s peaks for traces of the Ark. In 1959, a Turkish airman found the Durupınar formation,  a large, boat-shaped define precisely 300 cubits lengthy, similar to the Bible describes. Metallic readings, unusual “anchor stones,” and petrified “ribs” sparked wild claims that the Ark had been discovered. Skeptics referred to as it a geological phantasm, however the form is simple. 

And it doesn’t cease there. In 1949, U.S. spy planes noticed a wierd box-like anomaly excessive on Mount Ararat itself — a darkish, rectangular shadow below the ice that also fuels fashionable Ark hunts in the present day. 

However possibly the story goes even deeper. In 2000, scientists found that the Black Sea was as soon as dry land, till the Mediterranean all of the sudden burst by the Bosporus, unleashing a flood with 200 instances the ability of Niagara Falls. Whole civilizations would have vanished in a single day. May this have been the true Nice Flood? 

Marine legend Robert Ballard, the person who discovered the Titanic, dove into the Black Sea and found the ruins of an historic village buried deep beneath the waves,  together with freshwater shells that each one died on the identical second. Proof, he mentioned, of a sudden, catastrophic flood. 

And extremely, almost each historic tradition tells the identical story,  from Mesopotamia to China, from the Andes to India,  all describing a worldwide deluge and a lone survivor in an awesome ship. Current discoveries in China (2016), South America (2020), and India (2023) present proof of huge prehistoric floods that eerily match these historic myths. 

Is all of it coincidence, or are these tales fragments of a forgotten reality? 

Perhaps the Babylonians knew greater than we ever imagined. Perhaps that tiny clay pill within the British Museum isn’t only a relic of the previous… however the world’s first map to Noah’s Ark, and the ultimate clue to a cataclysm that modified humanity eternally.
