Noah's Ark Was......A DNA Bank?

Hareskin (Alaska): Kunyan ("Wise Man"), foreseeing the possibility of a flood, built a great raft, joining the logs with ropes made from roots. He told other people, but they laughed at him and said they'd climb trees in the event of a flood. Then came a great flood, with water gushing from all sides, rising higher than the trees and drowning all people but the Wise Man and his family on his raft. As he floated, he gathered pairs of all animals and birds he met with. The earth disappeared under the waters, and for a long time no one thought to look for it.

Lillooet (Green River, British Columbia): A great rain came, making the rivers and lakes overflow the country. A man named Ntcinemkin took refuge with his family in his very large canoe. The others fled to the mountains, but the flood rose to cover them, too. The people begged Ntcinemkin to save at least their children. He didn't have room enough to hold all of them, so he took one child from each family, alternating males and females. The flood covered all land except the peak of Split Mountain (Ncikato) on the west side of Lower Lillooet Lake. When the waters dropped, the canoe grounded on Smimelc Mountain

Lenape (=Delaware) (Delaware to New York): A deluge covered the whole earth. A few people survived on the back of a turtle which was so old its shell was mossy. A loon flew by, and the people begged it to dive and bring up some land. The bird dived but could not reach the bottom. Then he flew far away, came back with some earth in his bill, and led the turtle back to some dry land. There the people settled and repopulated the country.

This one is interesting.... pretty much the Enoch story:

Pawnee (Nebraska): The first people on the earth were giants, very big and strong. They did not believe in the creator Ti-ra-wa. They thought nothing could overcome them. They grew increasingly worse. At last Ti-ra-wa grew angry and raised the water to the level of the land so that the ground became soft. The giants sank into the mud and drowned. Their bones can still be found today.

Pima (southwest Arizona): After the earth had become peopled, the great eagle told a seer in the Gila valley, on three occasions, to warn the people about a great flood that would soon come, but the seer ridiculed him and ignored his warnings. Scarcely had the bird gone for the third time when a tremendous clap of thunder was heard. When morning came, the earth trembled, and a great green wall of water roared down the valley and destroyed everything in it. Szeukha, son of Chiowotmahke (Earth maker), saved himself by floating on a ball of pine resin. When the water receded somewhat, he landed on a mountain above the Salt River

Central America:

Tarascan (northern Michoacan, Mexico): God ordered a man to build a large house and to put animals and food in it. When he had finished, it began to rain and continued raining for six months. The house floated on the flood, and all who had helped build it were saved in it. When the flood started going down, the man sent out a raven, but it stayed out to eat dead bodies. He next sent out a dove, which returned to tell what the raven was doing, and ravens have been cursed to eat carrion since.

Michoacan (Mexico): When the flood waters began to rise, a man named Tezpi entered into a great vessel, taking with him his wife and children and diverse seeds and animals.

Mixtec (northern Oaxaca, Mexico): The earth was once well populated, when mankind committed a magical fault for which they were punished by a great deluge. The Mixtec people descended from the few survivors

Tamanaque (Orinoco):In the time of the great flood, "the Age of Water," the sea broke against the Encamarada mountain chain, and people were forced into canoes. One man and one woman were saved on the high mountain called Tamanacu, on the banks of the Asiveru. After the flood, as they descended the mountain grieving the destruction of mankind

Guanca and Chiquito (Peru):Long ago, before there were any Incas, the country was populous, but the ocean broke out of its bounds, the land was covered, and the people perished. Some say that a few people survived in the caves of the highest mountains. Others say that only six people survived on a float.

Ancasmarca (near Cuzco, Peru): A month before the flood came, the sheep showed much sadness, watching the stars at night and not eating. Their shepherd asked what bothered them, and they told him that the conjunction of stars foretold the destruction of the world by water. The shepherd and his six children gathered all the food and sheep they could and took them to the top of the very tall mountain Ancasmarca. As the flood water rose, the mountain rose higher, so its top was never submerged, and the mountain later sank with the water. The six children repopulated the province after the flood.

Inca (Peru)

ictorial records of ancient Incan rulers show that a flood rose above the highest mountains. All created things perished, except for a man and woman who floated in a box. When the flood subsided, the floating box was driven by the wind to Tiahuanacu, about 200 miles from Cuzco, where the Creator told them to dwell.

Coroado (south Brazil): A flood once covered the whole earth except for the top of the coastal range Serra do Mar. Members of the three tribes Coroados, Cayurucres, and Cames, swam for the mountains holding lighted torches between their teeth.

Quite a few interesting flood stories from around the world, and many very similar.

Sure... take something widely regarded as a myth and then throw even more crazy ideas such as aliens , DNA , and a guy that knew how to collect and store in during the time period and exclaim " Well... that clears that up!" Please people.... isn't the motto of this place deny ignorance? Yet time and time again most users display no sign of rational arguments.

I watched the same show, and while interesting these people seem about as cunning as a wide-eyed kid explaining how power rangers morph. And they have little to no evidence backing them up. Explaining every mystery known to man by placing little green men and future technology into the mix is a bit backwards... and I believe in UFO's.

There is nothing recorded on aliens, their legacy, knowledge , not anything that is conclusive except circumstantial evidence based on circumstances that even Hollow Earthers would have trouble believing.

Deny ignorance or breed it?

PS This is not a trolling post... just one stemming from bewilderment.

I don't think it's that hard to believe. We have lost more than we have discovered.

Simply put: Ancient man may have been more intelligent than you or I believe.

reply to post by mr-lizard


Yes I agree with the simply put:

No one is stating they were dumb.... however to explain such stories away by adding more ridiculous aspects which bear no rational belief is absurd.

If ancient man knew this they WOULD have recorded it.... There WOULD be evidence. If the had electricity someone would have wrote about it... other cultures visiting that had not discovered it would have surely documented the technology.

Maybe after each Ice age humanity gets destroyed and evidence from them gets wiped out... but we are talking not 100.000 years ago... merely 5,000.

If ancient alien theory has these quacks as their lead promoters and "experts" a once intriguing idea will fall to shambles. These guys take it a bit too far, and to think people would believe it is nonsensical.... well maybe not . After all, most the world still believe in invisible men/women and that that belief is superior to any other.

It's not hard to imagine, people losing knowledge. It's happened before Socioeconomic and intellectual regression during the Dark Ages.Wiki SourceWiki source

I believe that it's possible that Noah's flood was more of a localized event rather than a global one. If you've only lived and traveled in a small area, this would be your "world". Therefore, it would be a bit easier to collect some of the local animals, preferrably livestock and others that would be beneficial to survival after the flood, and get them onto a smaller ark.

The OP clearly stated he was watching history channel and they brought up Noahs Ark .

Maybe that's why the OP is talking about NOAH'S ark ????? duhhh.


You are the one who jumped in with your sword drawn to slay all those who don't bow down to your beliefs .

Don't jump off into a thread and start condemning people simply because you made a choice to believe a certain way and there are others who might choose not to believe that same way .

Other than that I could give a rats a** what you think.
( My 'christian' attitude showing ? hmmm)

Touche goober
Why do you assume you can tell me what topics I can discuss.
I simply posted my thoughts then asked a relevant question about a conspiracy. Get over it. I will give you this I did attack an idea. But unlike you I didn't carry it to a personal level. An attack of ones personal religious beliefs does not ok personal slander.

Seriously ?????

So, Noah had access to advanced genetic knowledge, cryogenics (to store ova, sperm, etc) and all the absolutely necessary high technology to recreate the destroyed species .... and yet with all this 'advanced technology' at his disposal, still went ahead and built his "ark" out of wood ???



[edit on 24/5/10 by tauristercus]

******Official Statement******

I don't believe this is what happened, merely saw a show and wanted to see what others thought,, no more attacks plz,

Not attacking. Just giving some people who agreed with this viewpoint a dose of sense.

Furthermore I am not telling anyone that they should believe what I say and it is the ONLY view. Just saying that if you believe in what this show states you really shouldn't be thinking at all.

reply to post by Loken68

I definitely agree with lost knowledge... However nothing advanced is discovered without smaller steps preceding the bigger idea.


Also the very notion of "lost" knowledge would indicate to me it is found or known by the simple fact someone knows it was lost. I hope you are not arguing for the ancients "lost" knowledge of DNA sequencing and cloning. And i certainly pray to myself that you are not contemplating the notion of extraterrestrials giving people this knowledge to be later told as a bible story... or a man living 3 days in a fish while you're at it.

Here's an example of primitive man knowing more knowledge than they should.

Google the 'Dogon' tribe of Africa and how they knew about Sirius B, an invisible star (these people didn't have telescopes either).

www.ufoevidence.org...

reply to post by mr-lizard


That is pretty weird.... except if it was invisible then how would they represent it? How did we find out it was Sirius B? Did we say " Are you talking about Sirius B ?"and point it out? Or did they point to the heavens and say "invisible star!" How can you be sure? The only evidence that that site states is that they know it by relation..... then someone had to relate it. Was is the other nearby stars or is it just wishful thinking of a group that wishes to include every anomaly in with a crackpot theory that at once actually seemed interesting?

How did they relate their "knowledge to us? Did we show them a picture? THere are too many open ends and who knows what the Dogon are saying. We may have convinced them contrary to their previous belief.

The same idea was presented in an excellent animation movie back in 2000 called Titan A.E. by Don Bluth.

www.imdb.com...

And yes I do believe Noah’s ark was actually a metaphor of something much more complex than a simple wooden ship.

We are simply “re-learning” what we’ve had before!

very interesting theory. im starting to really like this place although im sure the feeling isnt mutual for everyone.

Hindu scriptures even hint towards a nuclear battle that happened 12,000 years ago, and there is some compelling evidence for that argument

No i think they told the French that Sirius had a 'twin', the French at first laughed at these people - until later it was discovered that Sirius / the Dog star did indeed have a twin.

What about all the ancient paintings that seem to have UFOs in the pictures, do you think that's all coincidence that so many paintings had UFOs in them, I think ETs have had a far greater hand in our existence and human history than we can imagine
