Are you okay, colleague? You’ve barely touched your cab ride…

harrys_balzac ,

Or…or…now hear me out…just maybe… possibly…the outer stones were looted and used to build structures in the area?

kromem ,

I sometimes wonder if the other wonders were still around if we’d have wild haired guys on the History channel asking rhetorical questions about who could have possibly built the gardens of Babylon.

AngryCommieKender ,

I saw a video recently that claims that archeologists can’t find the ruins, and are starting to believe that the gardens were a myth.

“The great flood” 😂

The one which submerged the whole earth for what, 40 days? Wonder where the water went

Down the drain into the hollow earth, duh!

Rhynoplaz ,

Hollow?!? That can’t even be possible!

How can a flat disk on a turtle’s back be hollow?

shuzuko ,

No no, the turtle shell is hollow, duh. The hole in the disc just empties into the turtle shell to keep the poor thing hydrated, it’s like a camel-turtle basically.

Let’s say for the sake of argument for a second that it happened… can you imagine the stench from the trillions of rotting human and animal corpses when it all went away? Noah and clan would have to live with that for months.

So that’s why he became a drunk that got angry at his kids when they tried to cover him up while he was blacked-out and naked in his hut?

AngryCommieKender , (edited )

The Earth’s entire human population was only in the tens to hundreds of millions of people when the Younger Dryas Period happened… Where did the trillions come from? Also I would imagine the bodies got swept into the ocean, and were eaten by lobsters and other carrion feeders.

Edit: I see trillions including animals and plants.

Not the whole world. According to the post, water only rose by about 60 m (to the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza + some 100 m (¾ of its height) compared to current sea level. This would flood most homes back then but less than 25% of land area, so the majority of displaced people would just survive as nomads in the highlands.

Supposedly the black sea area after the messinian flood (mediterranean was dry in the salinity crysis), where humanity was at the time. Though there’s no proof.

invisiblegorilla ,

Someone pulled the great plug

AngryCommieKender ,

Almost every culture worldwide has great flood myths. It’s probably because of the Younger Dryas Period. Glaciers melted, and dumped amounts of water that were larger than The Great Lakes in volume. You can see the evidence of it, if you aren’t speculating wildly.

Apparently it happened multiple times. Just not the entire world at once, but certainly from the ancient people’s perspective it seemed like it.

blueamigafan ,

I used to work with someone who believed the pyramids are fake, also I have seen a photo of the same person visiting the pyramids on holiday when they were younger. There was no changing their minds either, so weird.

Sure, sure. But what if I told you…

52 + 53 = 105

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

But still think its “geographic center” is on the surface, in Turkey of all places. Perhaps because it’s near the threshold of the 3 old continents, which is where the Mediterranean (“Mid-Earth-ean”) Sea got its name from?

Well, I think we’re not advanced enough to understand. We still use this primitive old technology called “cryptographic keys”, whereas the calculation provided documents a yet-unknown authentication technique for the future of man. Whoever is entombed in the Pyramids sure is authenticated af, which comes in handy because of the KYC laws Charon needs to follow.

Romans 8:28 lol

looks at a picture on the internet

“Well, that’s that. The pyramids pre-date us. Something’s going on.”

Yeah, Big Archaeology! Tell us what you’re hiding!

kromem ,

So Romans 8 isn’t in the earliest recorded version of it (Marcion’s copy).

There’s a pretty good chance this armchair detective of world mysteries has a username citing a forged chapter of a text.

The Internet is not lacking in irony.

Honytawk ,

If the tips of those pyramids were above water during Noah’s flood, wouldn’t that mean there was still a ton of land left?

venoft ,
@venoft@lemmy.world avatar

There are higher hills in Egypt, let alone mountain ranges.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Not only are there higher hills, the Pyramid of Djedefre, which is now mostly gone, was put on a plateau overlooking the Giza pyramids specifically so Djedfre, who was the sun of Khufu, who built the great pyramid, could say that his was higher than his father’s.

kromem ,

Yeah, but they didn’t build oars or sails, so they were kind of stuck.

Also, everyone else and the other animals didn’t know about gravity, so they didn’t realize they could have just walked uphill to not drown.

It’s the contextual details that matter.

Crack0n7uesday ,

Noah was before Moses so I don’t the pyramids were built before the flood.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The Bible doesn’t actually say that the Israelites built the pyramids, but the entire Egyptian pharaonic line would have post-dated Noah, so it still doesn’t make chronological sense within the Biblical narrative.

@kn0wmad1c@programming.dev avatar

I’m not anything that can be remotely considered religious, but flood myths are fairly common in ancient folklore, so if anything from the Bible might have been true, then there might have been a great flood at some point.

Seleni ,

There was. The Tigris and Euphrates flooded several times. Noah’s Ark is a retelling of an older Sumerian myth.

Maggoty ,

Isn’t there also evidence the red sea was a below sea level valley at one point? Until the ocean eroded the barrier?

Asidonhopo ,

I’d heard this about the Black and Mediterranean Seas but not the Red. Maybe?

kromem ,

Noah’s ark was probably originally a famine narrative.

After the Babylonian captivity we see the Babylonian flood mythos in the extant version of the story.

Sometimes similarities between world religions can be explained by common physical features, like stories of resurrection associated with snakes (who shed skin) or with the planet Venus (which dips below the horizon for several days before reemergence).

But sometimes it’s because people are just plagiarizing.

Swedneck ,
@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

there definitely wasn’t some earth-covering flood, since that would take a stupendous amount of water that later just vanished.

What is likely however is raised sea levels, drowning low-lying areas like the dogger bank. It’s pretty insane how much more land we used to have, doggerland is/was about the size of the netherlands and since it would have been extremely fertile it’s likely it was a very important area for people in the past, so frankly it could very well be the source for the atlantis myth even.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

There are lots of flood myths because humans generally settle near large bodies of water. Large bodies of water tend to flood, sometimes catastrophically.

The Atlantis “myth” was made up by Plato to make a point about what would happen to Athens if they got too big for their britches.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod ,
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

Civilizations that arose around rivers that flooded annually had gods that were largely unconcerned with human matters.

Civilizations that arose around rivers that flooded randomly had angry gods who wanted to punish people.

Atlantis was a hypothetical society thought up for an argument that everyone immediately took way too seriously.
