Everyone has heard the Christians story of Noah's Ark, and even scientists have come to discover that the Ark was real, but there is an earlier story, one that the Christians plagiarised, one taken from texts from our past, our religion, the original religion.

In Mesopotamia one of the first human civilizations was a place called Sumeria and in Sumeria they worshiped a few Gods including one by the name of Enki..

Now in these old texts was the original and real story of Noah's Ark, what happened here, basically was that the Gods were angry with what was going on and decided to punish that particular area by flooding it, (the area not the world), and it would have been far quicker to build a boat than trek out of there, so Enki wanted to help, only the gods forbid him from talking to humans, so he decided to talk to a wall of reeds knowing that Noah would hear what was going on, but as he was talking to reeds he was not breaking the rules. So Noah Builds the boat and gathers up the villagers and their livestock who then manage to escape with their lives.

As you can see, not only is this story far FAR older than the Christian plagiarism of it but more realistic too, even scientists are finding evidence for this.

In the Christian version the god flooded the world, which during that time period would not only be highly unlikely but the outcome of the storey would mean that we would have been left with a significantly limited gene pool, and two of every animal?, Ridiculous. But in reality the Ark was built to transport villagers, livestock and supplies out of an area mostly surrounded by mountains which was in danger of flooding, the ark is currently encased in a glacier which occasionally emerges to view, now although the Christians would believe this to be the Ark of the bible it is actually the Ark of Sumerian tales featuring Enki who saves the day.

So there you have it short but to the point, if you have any questions please feel free to post on the Forums.
