Jews stole Noah's Ark story from Sumer


The pre-biblical origins of Noah's flood
(ReligionForBreakfast) The Sumerians and Akkadians and Mesopotamians (and Gnostic Jews and Christians) had a story they handed down, the tale of a flood with details to suit them and major points intact. The Hebrews or ancestors of Judea heard it and reworked those details to be all about themselves, leaving out the roots of the history, plagiarizing a story and altering it to aggrandize a modern group. So "God" was not doing what we are told in the legend as we hear it. It's not even the same boat or vessel. But what other stories are there? For instance, there's a story called Genesis...the Gnostic version.

The Book of Enoch banned out of the Bible for saying too much.
