There are all togeher too many superstitions and legends rather than actual fact in most histories and comments about the Biblical Noah and his family. Finding the factual details seems altogether impossible but one thing is true and There’s a great place to start, archeology. Mesopotamian and early Persian artifacts depict Noah as early as 7,000 B.C.E. He is the male figure portion of ancient winged bulls and a much repeated statue (over several thousands of years) of a standing man. Both depict Noah with a tall hat, a beard, long curled hair and wearing a long coat with a daisy like flower on each sleeve’s cuff. He is always good luck and protection and often defined as the father of mankind. Around 3,000 B.C.E. after the first invasion by the As-Syrians he is worshipped as a God by the invaders and seen as the foe of Baal. His name changes many times as history continues forward from that time.
It is obvious that Noah’s third son Ham had a socio-pathic nature as far too many legends and recordings such as the Hebrew Torah say as much. We may fully assume that well recorded both in Mesopotamia and by Jewish scholars all first born men in the lineage of Adam’s third son Seth wrote a history of their lives. They carried the 6 laws of Adam down to Noah who added one more law. Those Noahide laws are still in existance today which confirms a fact that Noah and his son’s existed. If the Rabbis who still hold private the actual scroll books which Abraham had in his posession we will not be able to learn anything more than the tidbits Moses included in Torah. Other information may have come from leaks or plain imaginative mythologies.
An honest question: How do you know that the depictions of a man from 7000 BCE were Noah when writing wasn’t invented until, at the absolute earliest, 3,000 years later?
“I’m working on a speedboat at the moment. It’s much more exciting, a bigger engine in a speedboat, and you can shoot across the water like that…”
“No, Noah, I want an Ark; an Ark with a big room for poo.”
“Look, a speedboat would really kick ass, it will give great photos to the people in The Bible. We can get all the animals with long ears to sit along the side… it’d be fucking excellent! Excellent photographs!”
