I love your GOD voice. Really helps visualise the story. Thankyou.
This is a very literalist view of the bible, which I know many Christians adopt. However, from a very young age I always felt that these biblical stories are allegorical and are meant to be interpreted through a symbolic prism. The fact these stories are myth based, does not detract from bible's authenticity imo. A person needs to use spiritual gifts of interpretation rather than academia to understand these spiritual writings. If God wants to communicate with mankind using myth, why not?
@@ClaireSweets Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed that.
I'm loving this format! As much as I enjoy your interviews with academics sometimes it's great to have it all laid out in documentary form. Thanks Derek keep it up.
Thank you so much
Irving Finkels "The Ark Before Noah" is a great lecture on the subject!
His work is amazing!
Every time I see a new Finkel video pop up, I click. I'm convinced he's really Merlin. btw at 12:16 there's a photo of Finkel's ark reproduction. He has a video about it's construction.
I absolutely love his lectures. From his 'royal game of Ur' to his ark...uh..coracle...gotta love Finkle.
It’s news to many people who come from a fundamentalist background.
Not really: fundamentalist have hyper literalist interpretations of the Bible that prevent them from seeing the Ancient Hebrew context of the Flood narrative. The Bible uses hyperbolic language of the whole Earth but in reality it was their whole earth the middle East and NOT a Global Flood which only came out of The 19th century Restoration movement. NOT historical Christianity's interpretations of Genesis1-11 from the church Fathers. Dr.Michael S.Heiser PhD in O.T languages: his videos explain why the Biblical narrative doesn't mean a Global Flood !
Yeah, old news. And still nonsense
It's funny how the theme of Cain and Abel gets repeated with Jacob and Esau. Jacob stealing his brother's blessings with meat cooked by his mother.
Cain and Esau is the same person.
So much repetition!
The goat (Capricorn) represents winter (left hand) and the Lamb (Aries) represents summer (right hand). God, the summer sun, prefers summer (spring equinox - autumn equinox). He curses winter (autumn equinox - spring equinox).
@@harveywabbit9541 Aries represent Spring. The lion represents summer.
@@juanausensi499 Leo = July the noble one. Virgo = August the palm frond. Libra -= September (seven) the reed. Scorpio = October (eight) the liar. See Isaiah 9.14-15, where the "historical Israel" is in the heavens/zodiac.
Seems the bible is best viewed in its proper context as just one of many ancient Near Eastern myth books.
Thank you so much!
Yep. It never was supposed to been taken as literal and become a “book of life” or to root our identities based off that book.
@@Wealthismybirthright Orig Council of Nicea maybe believed diff?
Well articulated and beautiful graphics. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Humanity is not wicked, they fed us lies. We have infinite potential. Only if you knew what your soul knows.
I would say that humanity is not INHERENTLY evil. There was no original sin
This is true. That’s why I don’t sit around spewing that nonsense that “life is horrible” or “ the world is evil”. Nah. I feel like life is a gift and it’s a beautiful experience to where we have so much power to control most of our lives or choices. People turn to religion to solve their issues or if they’re afraid to live half of the time.
@@Wealthismybirthright ✌🙏💥💜
pride comes before the fall, ive never met a "good" person we are capable of goodness thro Christ yall just love to leave GOD out of everything. that's the true wickedness of men
Cain was the biggest miracle worker of them all. Son of the first man and woman on Earth, went to a foreign land and found a WIFE! 😂
Just showing your ignorance of the Biblical text: there were humanoids outside the Garden of Eden. Why did Cain build a city ? Who helped him ? 4 2 people ? And who was he afraid of ?
@@davidjanbaz7728just where does it say that?
The Bible says mankind was created and THEN Adam and then eve.
@@pwnagraphic690. No it doesn’t. Adam and Eve were the first humans. Modern “literalists” now make things up to support their purported literal view of the Bible. Either read it as literal, or accept it as metaphor and allegory. You can’t have both.
@@TheBeingReal Genesis 4: 11- 17 : other humanoids outside the Garden of Eden is implied by Cain 's statements to the Lord. Verse 14 .... and it will come about that whoever finds me will kill me. Who is Cain afraid of? Verse 15 and the Lord appointed a sign for Cain lest ANYONE finding him should slay him . Who R these people? Verse 17 And Cain had relations with his wife ( not his sister) and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch and he built A CITY ( 4 , 3 people) ? Who helped him? Can U built A CITY by yourself?
Pulling in and comparing the ancient languages and specific words used with their connections ... Wow ! Thank you. This I believe is the best of the series so far. I seek the truth and to know and live pleasing to the entity that designed and made to be what is. Letting go more and more has been freeing, and as of late the account of the flood hasn't set well with me as it is adding to things that don't line up. I am very grateful for all that you put into making and sharing this video.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the continuous series!
I believe that the flood story's are similar and the Israelites most likely new of the other stores as they were captured by the Babylonians and Persians and Assyrians however when they returned to the Land of Israel Yahweh instructed them to write the bible directing the bible writers what to write so it is reasonable to believe the Hebrew scriptures are the most accurate historical account
Let's not forget "The Epic of Gilgamesh". It's a carbon copy of the Noah story yet it's dated back about 1300 or so years BEFORE the Noah story was written.... Occam's Razor would suggest Plagiarism....
The banished Cain tattooed and got a mohawk haircut 😂😂😂
When the Jews were taken away to Babylon, they gained all of these tales. They also started to worship 1 god only from the babylon experience, due to the influence of Zarathustra…
You mean the Jews were not worshipping Yahveh before the babylonian exile?
I'm particularly impressed that you managed to convince Alvin and the Chipmunks to voice the females in this video.
The people who finally wrote down the first Bible stories probably had no idea how old the stories were, or where they came from. They likely had been told in some form around some campfire for hundreds, or even thousands of years before any kind of written language versatile enough to record them existed. The Bible and other books like it are part of our global heritage now, so they're not going to disappear, but it's probably time to move on as far as using any of them as books of science or a Human owner's manual.
God created you, buddy. Don’t disregard God. He also created an angel just to protect you. Pray to your guardian angel. Think about the worst day in your life; your guardian Angel was there. God bless you ♥️
@ochem123 that's not even remotely Biblical, much less relevant
There is more to the simple way the bible story look aroud n all un answer things around the world
The Sumerians would probably sue Moses over copyright if they had copyright in 600 b.c. Utnapishtim was the original!
another amazing chapter to an amazing series. Can't wait til the next!
Thank you so much!
Hi Derek, excellent job! 👍🎉 Love your new editing style ❤
Thank you so much!
kicking back on this very warm day listening to fairy tales and myths. great narration and production to all involved.
Never heard this version. I can see how they took bits and pieces for their own culture. I understand that most cultures have a flood story.
It is known for a long time many old testament/Torah myths come from the Sumerian Clay Tablets stories, Egypt?/Khmet stories etc... thousands of years prior to the 600BC time of Hebrew writings being gathered together. I suggest some discussions with Paul Wallis, The Fifth Kind, and his books. Paul Wallis is a former (30 years) Arch-Deacon of the Anglican Church in Australia, Greek and Hebrew scholar. He came to the conclusion that many words, etc... are wrongly translated in the bible (Genesis, etc...) The question is why would the ancient Sumerians, 6000 BC record such stories if they didn't have a basis ? How do these stories relate or show similarty to indigenous stories around the world, especially Africa/Egypt, India, Australia, South and Central America, North America Navaho, Hopi, Cherokee, Lakota etc... who say they came from the stars and had star visitors? We don't know everything and as agnostics/atheists we should always be searching for hidden truths. I think there is more a possibility of ancient alien contact than some "god".
Great job, awesome information for the initiates. There is a big online presence of scholars who are exposing the exact same information
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
The age of knowledge indeed! There is no more room for Christian, Islamic and so-called Judaic leaders to continue to deceive humanity. All societies have had their own creation and other mythologies. But these three religions succeeded in imposing their mythologies on the rest of humanity through well crafted evangelism.
Some questions to consider: Knowledge of Sumer was lost for thousands of years; was this an accident or could it have been intentional? When Sargon of Akkad took over the Sumerian Empire and changed the official language to Akkadian, is it possible that the scribes (who suddenly had a "flood" of work) were instructed not to copy certain Sumerian texts into the new language thus contributing to the loss of Sumer history? Could the similarity between the infancy stories of Moses and Sargon of Akkad be intended to indicate that the two characters were in fact connected and could their infant sized "arks" be part of the same flood story as Noah and Utnapishtim. We know that there were no Hebrew slaves in Egypt, but could there have been Akkadian slaves in Sumer? (If you can't mention your enemy by name, then you have to call him by something else.) If Noah's Flood story is an allegory about the destruction of Sumerian history couldn't the legend of Atlantis also be an allegory on this subject? Could the scribes have considered themselves as "gods" that could create "worlds" and "men" from the "dust" and "water" used to make clay tablets? Could the story of the Tree of Good and Evil be related to the discovery of allegory with "paradise" representing a world where the truth was allowed to be "naked"?
Great points!
I don't think that language hypothesis flies. Akkadian and Sumerian were used together simultaneously for so many years that they merged into what philologists call a "Sprachbund". Perhaps reformulate this hypothesis, if you wish, after reading: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkadian_language {The similarities between Moses' and Sargon's birth stories are clear however}
When you consider the "world" and everything that exists in it to those people in those times consists of an area along the Euphrates and a bit of the Eastern Mediterranean, it makes it easy to understand all the animals in that area comprises of approximately 70 to 100 species and can be accommodated by a medium-large boat with room to spare. That is the entire "world" to them. They cannot write about what they did not know, and we know they didn't because everything else that was written is completely within the confines of that same area, so it only makes sense that is also where all the animals of their world lived that could be gathered up. And there are plenty of modern-day analogues for us to reference. Anytime you see on the news about a big rain anywhere on earth, you always see footage of some farmer/rancher with their family friends, neighbors, pets, livestock, and other farm animals being rescued by boats and shuttled off to safety. Noah did the same thing, but just scaled up in size.
It's been great seeing Derek go from humble skeptic to educator. Keep going strong, bro!
I appreciate that!
I wonder why he won´t get this guy up to talk about Noah´s ArkÞ kzhead.info/sun/etOYaNSieqCloIE/bejne.html )=he did at one point, but won´t anymore...

I've been waiting for someone to make this video. Thanks, Mythvision.
More to come!
This was very well done. You gained a follower. Abraham was Sumarian. From Ur to be exact, which is the very place that the Sumerian tablets were found. I am of the opinion that Abraham brought his tales with him and over time like the game of telephone, things changed. I was born to a Jewish mother and Catholic father, was raised Catholic until the age of 12 when I became a Pentecostal. I eventually turned to my mothers faith which led me to leaving all faith behind. I am well-versed and I wanted to say how much I appreciate this video.
Abraham wasn’t a real person.

Noah's flood and the Mesopotamian flood story have 15 similarities in precisely the same order, which is beyond all doubt or denial by Christian Apologists, i.e., liars. There was no universal flood. Using James Ussher's dating for the Earth and the flood showed the Flood allegedly happened in the middle of Egyptian history which records no interruption for a flood. The Jews also copied their 7 day creation from the 7 day creation of the Mesopotamians. The Jews got their fondmess for 7 because the Mesopotamians revered 7 heavenly bodies: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupitar and Saturn. In France every day of the week is named after the Mesopotamian system. Our culture still has 3 contiguous days in our system named in the Mespotamian system: Saturnday, Sunday and Moonday. Every culture, especially the Jews, ripped the Mesopotamians off without proper intellectual attribution. From the Mesopotamians we inherited our telling of time (12/60) and direction (360 degrees). They had elements of Trig and Calculus and knew about the Pathagorean theorem 1500 years before Pathagorus. No wonder the Jews wanted to copy them. www.evidenceunseen.com/bible-difficulties-2/ot-difficulties/genesis-deuteronomy/gen-11-did-the-jews-steal-their-creation-story-from-the-babylonian-enuma-elish/ kzhead.info/sun/rJaNXbWdjYtuoI0/bejne.html www.gotquestions.org/Gilgamesh-flood.html www.icr.org/article/noah-flood-gilgamesh/
" Liars" making statements without proof is slander buddy! You obviously R ignorant of many Christian scholars and Scientists that don't interpret the Flood of Noah as Global : just A Large Regional flood. People Aron Ra is to afraid to debate because they aren't his low hanging fundamentalist fruit he likes: i.e. Hovind and Ham. Dr. Hugh Ross Christian and astrophysicist has debunked both of these fundamentalists .
Amazing piece of work, I can only imagine the amount of time to make this. Besides researching the content and writing, there must be endless hours spent mastering the various production and graphics tools employed here. The look into the Biblical occurrences of rare foreign cognates, their frequency and context, and the implications of that was really interesting. I had never seen the three ANE flood myths discussed pretty completely in one place and juxtaposed to the Noah story. That is really impactful. Well played sir.
You didn't mention the two rivers ( Tigris and Euphrates) surrounding the sumerian's civilizations. They definitely had a great impact on Noah's flood mythology. On a yearly basis they could overflow, sometimes livestock including cows 🐄, sheep 🐑..etc were often drowned by the floodwaters.
Once Cuneiform was adopted by its neighbours, Sumer lost its edge over Akkad, and Sumerian is known only because Akkadian scribes preserved it. Once the Canaanite invention, alphabetic writing, was adopted by Aram, Aramaic displaced all the Canaanite dialects and, with the rise of Persia, using Aramaic as lingua franca, the writing was on the wall for Belshazzar, Akkadian and Cuneiform. Fortunately some had the wit to preserve key elements from the old format before its secret was lost, keeping the new format in an ark for some reason.
These videos are awesome! So well put together! Thank you so much, Derek!
Thank you so much
Another flood story which became the two angels visiting Lot and his wife. In Ovid's Metamorphoses, Baucis and Philemon were an old married couple in the region of Tyana, which Ovid places in Phrygia, and the only ones in their town to welcome disguised gods Zeus and Hermes (in Roman mythology, Jupiter/Barnabas and Mercury/Paul respectively), thus embodying the pious exercise of hospitality, the ritualized guest-friendship termed xenia, or theoxenia when a god was involved. Zeus and Hermes came disguised as ordinary peasants, and began asking the people of the town for a place to sleep that night. They had been rejected by all, "so wicked were the people of that land," when at last they came to Baucis and Philemon's simple rustic cottage. Though the couple were poor, their generosity far surpassed that of their rich neighbors, among whom the gods found “doors bolted and no word of kindness." After serving the two guests food and wine (which Ovid depicts with pleasure in the details), Baucis noticed that, although she had refilled her guest's beech wood cups many times, the pitcher was still full (from which derives the phrase "Hermes' Pitcher"). Realizing that her guests were gods, she and her husband "raised their hands in supplication and implored indulgence for their simple home and fare." Philemon thought of catching and killing the goose that guarded their house and making it into a meal, but when he went to do so, it ran to safety in Zeus's lap. Zeus said they need not slay the goose and that they should leave the town. This was because he was going to destroy the town and all those who had turned them away and not provided due hospitality. He told Baucis and Philemon to climb the mountain with him and Hermes and not to turn back until they reached the top. After climbing to the summit ("as far as an arrow could shoot in one pull"), Baucis and Philemon looked back on their town and saw that it had been destroyed by a flood and that Zeus had turned their cottage into an ornate temple. The couple's wish to be guardians of the temple was granted. They also asked that when time came for one of them to die, that the other would die as well. Upon their death, the couple were changed into an intertwining pair of trees, an oak and a linden, standing in the deserted boggy terrain. The three angels who visited Abraham and Sarah were Jupiter, Mercury, and Neptune.
@@1EY3King Ezekiel 16.49-50. ‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. Adam and Eve had more sons and daughters even as Cain and Abel were learning to walk. It was their mission to populate the Earth and that means instructing their offspring to do the same. Cain and Abel knew and followed suit, and so did everyone born after them. Being so close to perfection, and according to Gods will, being cousins or aunts was not known as such back then: it was normal according to Gods will. The first set of people knew Jehovah and kept having children. These early people lived many hundreds of years so Cain was able to go and build a city, likely a small city. He and they all knew Earth's population was and kept growing, that is why Cain feared having been cursed. You guys are funny. 2. Where did you get the idea that Lot was suppose to be the last person on Earth? Moving on, there are over 200 flood stories globally so, reason states it must have come from a real event. The Chinese written words or characters, a language 1000's of years old, a nation apposed to religion specially against Abrahamic ones, has not paid attention to this that, many of their characters or words or terms EXPLAINS many events that took place in THE BIBLE'S GENESIS not from any other of your actual myth stories. You guys are delusional. 3. It is all very consistent. There are man-made cities and monuments being found all over the globe under the ocean's canopy (in the oceans), clearly pointing at a human population that throws off current science and history on these matters. 4. Some songs in the 1900's and even in our 2000's, were copied because the writers or composers of those songs did not make them legally theirs or didn't do so fast enough. This doesn't mean that just because God didn't have his word written complete from Noah, it doesn't mean the events and people in the Bible didn't exist or that they copied other stories, it could actually mean the Bible's stories happened and the rest of the stories written in other books came from The Bible's actual accounts and history. The Bible's written word never suggests it's a myth but always as actual history and as that history continues throughout all the books it never fails: todays science keeps making it clear that the Bible is fact and accurate, while the other books from the world are overwhelmingly myths and fantasies. 5. The faithful servants of God of ancient times are Alive because (1) Gods word is alive and (2) because they will be resurrected they have never died. 6. The Bible is the only ancient historical and religious book that never fails from beginning to end to support and complement every other book in it, every history in it, every place and people in it. You guys are hilarious. You all know this is the truth, this is real. "The Great Tribulation" will soon come and you, too, know this. You have time right now to pray to God and ask him to help you find him, the one and only True and Living God. His people will find you. "The dragon...the one called Satan...was hurled down to earth, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time." Satan and the demons are out like 'roaring lions, seeking to devour someone.' Well, they are succeeding all over the world, just look around. But there are some who will do Gods will no matter what.

Your choice for Yahweh’s voice over is classic! Reminds me of a video game for PlayStation 4! No other voice gives a feeling a awe.
Dr. James Tabor (another of your esteemed guest scholars) has a teaching online that completely corroborates this one. The evidence is clear. All ancient near-eastern mythologies borrowed and embellished each other’s stories. The Hebrew version became more widely known but, is far from unique.
I love Dr. James Tabor!
I believe that the deep voiced characters used in this video are none other than our host, Derrick. Great video!
You're a prophet! 😉
As im listening to the story being read that is ancient and supposedly even older than the Bible, I can’t help but wonder why does it sound like it was written in English? The verbs used and everything sounds American and if it’s ancient who translated this ancient story? where can we find these ancient stories and who were the people that translated them and how did they go about doing so. Its a sincere question. Thanks
I love watching your videos and I learned so much , keep up the good job ❤️
Irving Finkel of The British Museum had a tablet with a description how to built the boat.that boat was build. There is video about it: the arc before Noah. The book with the same name is ook very interesting.
These are top notch videos man. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Aron Ra (atheist in Texas) debunks the worldwide" flood". I think he's a geologist or something scientific background.
The Biblical text uses hyperbole in the description of the whole world but Noah's Flood wasn't Global but A Large Regional flood over the whole Middle East. It's not a problem!
@@davidjanbaz7728LOL. so this flood was so big it needed all the animals to be saved on a boat…but the flood was only regional? Was there some magic wall around the area to keep the water in?
Indeed Aron does.
@@TheBeingRealWhen you consider the "world" and everything that exists in it to those people in those times consists of an area along the Euphrates and a bit of the Eastern Mediterranean, it makes it easy to understand all the animals in that area comprises of approximately 70 to 100 species and can be accommodated by a medium-large boat with room to spare.

@@michaelmoore7975 Always impressive the extent people will go to guess/suppose/assume to try to justify a story. Where do you come up with the 70-100 species? Are you saying this boat was just in a river or existing sea? Noah lived 600 years? If you believe the bible is the inerrant word of god, how do you get to re-interperate the word “world” as just being localized? That’s a long in the tooth appologist trick on word play. Regardless, the Noah story is just another compilation of works by earlier civilizations than the gospel writers.
At 10:40ish, the names An, Enki, Enlil and Ninhursag are mentioned while a split screen shows 4 individuals seemingly representing the ones named. Ninhursag/Ninmah is a goddess, yet each individual shown presents as male. There is no visual representation of the female counterpart who is named.
Very good. Informative. Issue more like this. We are interested to knw the realities (truths) Thank you so much.
Love this video. One of the first things I learned about as a Bible student back in the day was the universality of flood stories. There is a flood story in every culture, from Mesopotamia, to Native American, to Celtic. AND...there is geological evidence of a huge deluge that occured when an asteroid struck the earth, melting the north pole ice cap and sending melt out across the world (not the entire globe, but across much of the northern hemisphere)
Where's the evidence?
If what you say happened, it happened at a time men didn't even exist, there's no trace of such an event in the recent history, and by "recent", I mean... like that past couple million years... what you say kinda ressembles the K-Pg extinction, the asteroid that led dinosaurs to extinction, and the asteroid struck in what is now the mexican coast... There's flood myths everywhere for at least two reson : 1°) Civilizations, ALL of them, always spawn by at least a river... so they're all exposed to floods, especially at a time where there was no technology to offset that. 2°) Because myths travel with men, they are spread through exchanges, assimilation etc... as for example, the near-estern/mediteranean/biblical flood myths aren't a multitude of separate myths spawned by each civilisation, but one original myth which has been spread through different civlizations, evolving during hundred/slash thousands years before being written for the first time by the mesopotamians, which versions serves as a reference for the biblical version, the greek version etc, each one with their own flavor and twist.
Thank you so much!
The dates of the "local" floods you talk about don't add up. The mental gymnastics believers will try to hold a myth as real is surprising. Let it go already 😂.
@@ericreed4535 and where do all these myths come from? It’s a flat fact that every human prehistory has a flood story. The earth is destroyed in a massive flood and a human or humans, or a god, is saved. Usually in a boat but I’ve read one flood story where the vessel was a log.
Outstanding video , this has to be one of the best videos on the subject of Noah's ark . I've been through all my life never believing in the story of the flood . For the simple reason of 40 days and 40 nights , there are places on earth where it rain for much longer than this and we see no flood . Had the story said 40 weeks or even 40 months then it's a whole new ball game .
" 40 days and 40 nights" is a Hebrew idiom of just a long time : it not a literal 40 × 24 hour days ! The Flood of Noah was a large Regional flood over the whole Middle East: that was Their whole earth: it doesn't mean Global.

The missing link about the biblical account are the documents which were with Noah,and were given to Abraham who also gave to Isaac ,to Jacob and to Levi. When Israel came to Egypt,Levi had the documents kept in his family line. Moses got that information from his house when he started to show interest in the Israelites. He leant of these books and later assigned Joshua to write a comrehensive line of narative which would bring a more comprehensive and easy sammury to follow along. Also Egypt had her version of the accounts. Since Shem ,Ham and Japheth passed on the legacy to their children from generation to generation.
Except Moses/Exodus has been proven to be a myth. So try again. And Noah is a fairy tale

I can’t believe anyone would think this is a true story. I think there was flooding after the last ice age and stories got passed down through the ages. Civilizations were destroyed and became part of the mythology of Gilgamesh, Noah, and Atlantis. People didn’t write factual historical accounts back then, they created stories about events and embellished to make them exciting. We still do this in our entertainment media. I always compare the Old Testament to Forrest Gump, with the Hebrews writing themselves into epic stories the way Forrest happened to be at major events.
Noah's ark/arc is huge, it stretches from the autumn equinox to the spring equinox and consists of six constellations aka Libra thru Pisces. This is also the six nights/signs/months found in Genesis one. The constellations will be modified a bit to describe Scorpio thru Pisces as the winter constellations with Scorpio as the leader of these months (Rev 9). Noah (Earth) will enter the ark/arc at every autumn equinox and will depart the arc at the spring equinox. He will again enter the arc at our next autumn equinox.

It's less than a year now since I've opened up to the possibility that the biblical god may not be the one true god, and that the bible could be a compilation of myths. Let me tell you... These videos are a gold mine to people like me who know the scriptures but had doubts about their devine authorship.
No credible evidence that the power responsible for the universe has had any involvement in human history and that they look like the latest iteration of hominid. Intellectual freedom and honesty are rewarding enough. Humans have a problem with death and they love to feel superior to other humans. This is why we have religion. It's geographic, just like language and other "culture".
Nice summary. To be fair, the scholarly literature here has been around for more decades than I've been around. The upshot is how little of it is known to those who draw on creationist apologetics, who when they mention bits of it at all, dump on it faster than the Discovery Institute runs from genetics.
Lots of neat new details here, which will be noted in the Tales of the Big Slosh chapter of Vol 2 of "The Rocks Were There" on the errors of creationism.

@@michaelmoore7975 Indeed, it's more than plausible that someone (or even more than one) loaded up a reed boat with the farm animals, and that some of that lore filtered into the solitary critter saver tales circulating in flood-prone Mesopotamia, which then got cribbed by the Hebrews in their Bible.
Many scholars speculate the flood story in the Epic of Gilgamash might have been added around 4 BCE . What are yout thoughts on that ? Epic of Gilgamesh flood still predates Noah's flood by about a 100 years, if thats the case.
*Gilgamash might have been added around 4 BCE* The Akkadians wrote the Epic of Gilgamesh they were replaced by the Amorite around 2000 BCE so please explain the 4BCE date.

Overall, this is a great synthesis of the scholarship and nicely produced. But (and I say this with considerable love and respect for what you do with MythVision!) I laughed out loud when the chipmunk voice started near the end. It was jarring and really undercut the serious, dramatic tone of the video. It would have been completely unremarkable to just read the text in your own voice. If voiceovers are needed, surely there are members of the community who could provide some clips in the appropriate voice and tone. I know it's a technical challenge, but it would be vastly superior to modulating your own voice. Keep up the great work! Can't wait for the Nimrod episode.

The myth was spread from Mesopotamia via trading routes (which were extensive). Only coastal civilizations had the myth. It derived from two sources. There is a geological anomaly on Mount Ararat that resembles a vast boat. Obviously shepherds and travellers would have seen this and (in a time before Petrology) would assume it was the remains of a giant boat. Also the floods that hit Mesopotamia. (One localised flood in particular).
Most stories were verbal. As in telephone (the game). We can see the outcome.
It makes sense that Secluded tribes that didn't know anything about the size of the world and knew nothing about other countries/Continents and only knew their own region and a local river floods and destroys everything they ever knew of course they would think the whole entire world was destroyed in a flood. In the early history of mankind everyone thought they were the center of everything till we learned how to get over and around mountains and across oceans and started finding other cultures on different continents.

I got to say that this video is quite good and hasen't any fallacy or misconception that other video might have. I just think it's not as conclusive as it might seems. Like for the 2 akkadian words in the text that can just testify that the text was written at a different Time and a more eastern influence/context than Exodus in exemple. The differences are mention one Time and after no more and there is a lot of them. So I hold my view that it's just the Israélite version or the story of the flood from the oral shared tradition. This tradition which made the assyrian then babylonian version, the hittite version or the hindu version. So this video didn't change my view at all.

@@daviddurango9562the Bible doesn't give a lot of details of life before the flood. But it does say that people who had a relationship with God lived from Creation to the time of Moses. So the issue is with your worldview, not the Biblical text.
Interesting... however the dates do not appear to line up with the suggestions made in this video of the Bible drawing from Mesopotamia history. According to Penn Museum, the flood story of Mesopotamia took place sometime between 2900 to 2800 BC. According to Robert Ballard and other experts in the ABCNews special (Evidence of Noah's Biblical Flood Happened) Noah's flood took place around 5000 BC. In the end, the bias we have goes a long way into the interpretations we render to history. Perhaps Mesopotamia drew from the Bible, something to ponder, perhaps.
This presentation is able to easily capture something continually missed in discussion micro focused on details in a way that is easily recognisable. Using images, video, and more of a story based approach complete with music the reality of the idea that people were of a kind and like no other, the created distinction of separation from others and the cultures and politics/art of the area is shown to be a construct. This is one of the first presentations bridging time, place and the context of culture by showing the flow of ideas and culture over time and adaptation to suit what is wanted. In seeing a view from above, you can see a unity of humanity rather. Power and control of people requires tools to make people alien or other, to make ones who obey chosen and special and anyone else dehumanized so they can be treated in ways no one would ever treat family or friends. The dehumanization let's people do horrific things to others. That people are not so different from one another is not something that even needs to be said in this kind of presentation because it is something that can be recognized in image, words of the past, story and music. All the extra more creative aspects of film is a much more powerful communication method as it invokes more than what is read or spoken . It taps into the power of story and in the power of story done with more sensory inputs is the very root of how human memory functions. I think the evocative power of image, music, art..it is unifying and potentially encourages freedom of thought, and that is why religions of control have tried ban it.
Apparently, there was a huge, devastating flood in the Mediterranean area back in the day. A huge chunk of land collapsed and flooded a large area. I just wish I could remember where it was. Anyway, I suspect that the flood myths came from this event. Made bigger and more detailed as the story was told over and over again. The people deduced that it was their god that did it, rather than regular earthly events. Because they didn’t know any better.
there is also evidence ... can't remember the details ... of a major deluge occuring after an asteroid strike at the end of SOME ice age or other. Or beginning of an Ice Age? maybe? Anyway, geological evidence exists that there was a huge melting of the polar ice cap, and an ensuing flood as all this ice melted quickly. Not just the Mediterranean was affected. The flood story is universal. All cultures have ancient myths about a massive flood that destroyed everything. Even Aboriginal Australian natives have such a story (deep in the southern hemisphere)
Flooding was very common in mesopotamia. That's one reason the lands in the area were so fertile in the first place
@@HeidiSue60do you have the study that "discovered" this? at best a few kilometers of coastal areas was flooded if that was the case. There's simply no way that the whole earth could be flooded killing all land living beings except those that rode an ark, because there's not enough water in the ice caps, because the number of species that exist simply are impossible to fit by pairs even in our largest modern ships and evolution isn't that fast paced.
A meteor or a natural disaster could have caused a flood. Those are things that would scare the people to think it a gods wrath. We have knowledge of meteors and other natural diasters. Flood, torrential storms, , tornadoes etc. We know about thrm and can track them now. Imagine if we had knowledge of these things, we would not understand. We would think the sky was falling.
@lisaspikes4291 You're thinking of the Minoan eruption in 1600 BC that destroyed part of Thera (Santorini). There was a documentary by Simcha Jacobovici - The Exodus Decoded, where he argues that all the plagues of Egypt can be explained by the eruption and its consequences
it's more than that with Cain and Abel, there's a better genesis account in the book of Jasher, which has many more details and fleshed out the story much better. The sacrifice was the straw that broke the camels back. Cain was plopwing the field manually with no beasts of burden to help and abel was grazing his flock on Cain's crops. Cain asked him to stop and then they got into an argument about it, Cain hit Abel with the plow sheer on the head in the heat of it. Then he broke down crying realising what had just happened and burried the body in fear and shame. When god asked him about it, he lashed out, so god cursed him, but it was a mild curse and Cain lived a pretty good life after, the curse was merely that Thistles would always grow in his gardens and farm fields like weeds.
Very interesting stories.
That's not biblical. Abel is keeper of SHEEP or the righteous shepherd who brings the blood of the lamb. Cain brings his works done under the curse. God had no respect for Cain's offering.

Truth is all we have are copies of copies etc. we do not know which text came first! If I had to guess I’d say the Hebrew script version was before this wild one lol There’s many things in the Bible stories such as the instructions on how to build the ship in a time where professional ship building was in its early stages. And the dimensions God have in scripture are actually the “perfect” dimensions for ship building ! Stuff like that is amazing being the ratio is what we base our ships off of today!

People who are not familiar with some of these things should note that Akkadian is a "Semitic" language, as is Hebrew, and the term Semitic is a Hebrew term derived from the name of one of Noah's children. However, the original "Semitic" flood hero was Utnapishtim because the napishtim of the name is a "Semitic" word given in name to a character attested long before "Noah," and Utnapishtim did not have a son named Shem (whence Semite). The Hebrew texts were produced deceptively in an attempt to lay the foundation of the ethno-religious cult of "Yahweh." If one word is in question, then all names and words in their texts are in question. I think we should begin by doing away with the term Semitic, since it is clearly a Judeo-centric falsity, and instead we should refer to these groups as Subartan, as the people who entered Sumer FROM THE EAST were not the descendants of "Noah" but rather the people of Subartu. And if you read "Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta" you will see the historical foundation of intercultural and interreligious conflict as seated in the middle east, and there is a clear line from where we are now, through the foundation of the Hebraic lie, to Sumer and its conflict with the Subartan "Semitic" tribes to the north and East.
Shem = Sun. Shem = Sagittarius (Jupiter/Fire), Capricorn (Vesta/Earth) Aquarius (Juno/Air), and Pisces (Neptune/Water). Lud is one with Canaan (Scorpio).
@@harveywabbit9541 I understand the confusion, but the name Shem was derived from the word for "name" and it was done so for ethno-polemical reasons. In Sumerian, "name" was MU, which was referred to in the earliest attested Semitic language at Ebla, and in Akkadian as šumu. To make Noah's son named "Name" after the destruction of mankind sets this Judaically derived figure as the source of "Semitic" languages and "Semitic" people, but this was a grievous lie that many people believe to this day. Also, the Hebraic tradition is highly focused on naming. One of their names for God is HaShem, "The Name." The Hebrew scriptures almost obsess over words and names. Anyway, this same sign for MU was used for the word meaning "to grow" and it is from that Sumerian sign that The Branch of Zechariah was derived, semach, from MU, SIMU, and HILI, all of which were referred to either by semach or in relation to it. There is a cuneiformic logic underlying the Hebrew scriptures
@@TheCharonic Shem (a name) was applied to winter because of its unproductiveness. This season embraced November, December, January and February. Japheth signifies addition and denoted spring, because daring this season the days lengthen and the crops grow. Spring included March, April, May and June. Ham means heat, and, therefore, fittingly represents summer, which took in the remainder of the year - July, August, September and October (See George Rawlinson’s Herodotus, vol. 2, p. 237.) The age of each of these three sons was limited to a hundred and twenty years (Gen. 6:3.) The Hebrew shanah, here translated years, may with greater propriety be rendered days, since its root means simply to repeat, or to do a second time. (Gesenius Heb. Lex., p. 1092.) Thus, the combined ages of these three sons will equal 360 years, the exact number of degrees in the circle of the year. ' ' To these three sons was assigned the year, and each Ruled o'er his portion of the vassal world (year), into three parts divided; for the earth into three parts had been by Heaven's decree Severed." - Jacob Bryant's Mythology, vol. 4, p. 102. In Gen. 10. 22, we find Shem had five sons: Elam, Asshur, Aphaxad, Lud and Aram. They were born to him after the Flood (Gen. 10.1), and probably for this special use of the Babylonians. This understood, of course, they may all be readily identified with these five winter months as now reconstructed, and represented by Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces, thus: "Elam," says Fuerst (Heb. Lex., p. 1040), " stands for paras "= Persian for horseman = Sagittarius; Asshur, one who mounts up = Capricornus, the goat, an animal famous in this direction; Aphaxad, according to Philo, the Jew (Bohn’s Philo, vol. 2. p. 275), is - "he disturbs sorrow" = Aquarius = Moses, who disturbed Pharaoh; Lud was a descendant of Ham, and therefore = Scorpio; and Aram = high = Pisces, the last of the winter months, according to any arrangement now known.
This is the Sumerian account. Sumerian is not a Semitic language.
@@jennifersilves4195 Sumerian is not a Semitic language, but he's discussing the Semitic name for the flood hero, Utnapishtim, represented by two logograms, UD and ZI, in that order. The Sumerian name for the flood hero is Ziusudra, represented by ZI and UD, in that order. But rest assured, Utnapishtim is a Semitic name. The Semitic root npš is used frequently in the Hebrew texts to refer to 'living things,' and npš is the Semitic root represented by the Sumerogram ZI.

@@MythVisionPodcastYep you know the facts.
Awsome Derek
The Ark was never called a Boat. Moses was placed in a woven basket used by day laborers called an Ark. . The idea of an ark alludes to a woman's womb, a place of conception , carrying the unborn child for a term of preparing for an birth . A woven basket was made waterproof by covering the reeds woven into a basket with pitch, a petroleum or tar. So an Ark is part of a bucket brigade work line of day laborers like a convoy or train moving over the land, passing buckets of materials along the line say water in jugs from the river to the canal or cistern. Convoy or Flotilla of containers in a line , tied together, in a unitized construction , that all float or are carried in a processional march, like a wagon train, or say a ship at sea sunk but all the cargo containers were waterproof and continued to float on the sea, and being tied together, as a flotilla , the convoy continues the journey without sinking, and lands upon a shore where the convoy builds a new civilization. So a CARAVAN be it sailing over the deserts or over the seas, as a convoy of vessels or say a group of women , who are carrying unborn children, are brought safetly to a new land where then their children are born o nthe land , having been carried in the water inside the womb of the woman. So tocarry in a basket or in a womb, or sealed container, that which can be taken along enroute as a procession , is alluding to what an ARK originally meant. The Ark of the Covenant carried by the Priests in the Exodus has the rhyme of being like the Ark of Noah, a WOMB or birthplace of a New Nation, in an organized Exodus or Convoy, a Flotilla or a Caravan, tied together in a labor like a bucket brigade passes along the buckets of water to throw on a fire, or carry large sums of materials over land an sea. So an ARK is not exactly a BOAT, or a SHIP, it is more like a CARRIAGE .
but would a carriage float?
