There are events that we have told a thousand ways but for some reason - as uncomfortable, I I guess - we do not accept and assimilate. The creation of man - as a precursor to the development - is one of them we discussed this earlier. The Flood is another of these issues.
As
not believe that at some point in the history of our planet was a great disaster that would end all or a significant part of life that existed at that time. The Bible, in Genesis gives us not one but two stories about this event (the Yahwist and Priests). The Sumerians also give us the story through the writing of Gilgamesh. Hindus we have a flood starring King Svayambhuva Manu. It is very common among the tribes of Native North Americans the story of a great flood caused by the fight between two giant snake. Among the inhabitants of Easter Island is the fact that the first humans came to the island fleeing a major natural disaster occurred on the Continent of Hiva (Lemuria). The Maya have a very similar story. The Aztecs even divided its history before and after the Flood. The Incas also have torrential history. The Greeks, the Assyrians, the Egyptians and many African tribes, the Tibetans, in short, no region on Earth where there is at least one or two stories telling us about this disaster the world histórico.En have more than 500 tales from different cultures about it. So, why not believe in it?.
The accounts all agree that water covered most of the world save only the very tall mountain. There are discoveries that actually prove that areas that are now in the area, were flooded for a while. Where is there are certain differences in the causes that provoked the incident.
The most widespread in the stories is that the flood was caused by God (each culture puts a different name to God) an allegedly angry at the way humans were living. The Genesis of the Bible (written in the V century BC) tells us about the Wrath of God for the wickedness of man. However, there is a very ancient Hebrew text called Book of Enoch , in this, we detailed the wrath of God was not against all men, but against a group of Angeles called "The Watchers" and children, some giants called Nephilim. These beings, according to the account of Enoch would have been the cause of a large imbalance between men. In fact, the Bible, the Book of Wisdom, mention is made about the Flood, that Proud died when Giants hope in the world took refuge on a raft, and that it was the seed a new humanity.
Now, who was Enoch?. It is said that Enoch was a direct descendant of Adam and was the grandfather of Noah (of the ark). It is also said that Enoch is one of three men whom no knowledge of his ascent to heaven (the other two were Elias and Jesus). Some writings say that he became an angel named Metatron when ascending to heaven. In Islam, Enoch is treated as Prophet and there is known as Idris. Enoch lived 3000 years before Christ and lived 365 years, the age at which he was ascended to heaven alive. In his writings he prophesied about the Great Flood and the role that his grandson Noah would have it, also mentioned the birth of a new human race and the birth of the Son of God among mortals. His writings are not accepted by the Catholic Church as canonical and are used only as reference. With all that history, I think it is worth accepting what Enoch tells us about the Flood.
Here I would like us to try to remember what I wrote earlier about Lemuria and Atlantis. I mentioned Hence, the Lemurs were beings with great technical knowledge and very spiritual instead of Atlantis, but with the same technological level were ambitious and selfish. I mention also that the Atlanteans were very high, very high. Perhaps the Atlanteans were giants (sons of the Watchers Angeles) that referred to Enoch?. History tells us that the ambition of Atlantis caused a rupture in the equilibrium that for years had dominated the planet. In their eagerness to take complete control declared war on the Lemurs. With the advanced technology we have, it would be very difficult to think of the existence of any weapons of great destructive power capable of cause major disasters when being used.
Azteca In the story mentions that the Earth was inhabited by "giants" and "Snakes" (It was agreed that the lemurs were called "Serpent") and that war between them caused "wrath of God" who sent the Planet "Rays of Fire" and shed all the water of heaven on earth. Could not this be the result of a major nuclear confrontation?.
The other interesting point mentioned in the Book of Enoch is about the contents of the ark. Our Bible tells us of pairs of species of animals, idea seems absurd to many. However, Enoch does not speak of pairs of animals, the speech of Seed saying that the Ark was the seed of the New Humanity. In the story of Gilgamesh (Sumerian version of the Flood) is not spoken at any time of the wrath of God, but God does a warning about the destruction of the world. In that story when God instructs Uta-na-pistim (the Sumerian Noah) prompts you to install on board the boat "the seed of all living beings." Is it that we are talking about genetic material?, If the Lemurs and Atlanteans were so advanced technologically, we might think that actually what Noah's Ark transported material was Genetic known living species.
With regard to the Ark, in almost all accounts it is said that God gave instructions on how to build, even in the Bible gives details of its dimensions. But there are three versions say that God sent the ship and that was not built by humans. Hindus speak of God (Vishnu) sent the ship and this was dragged by a big fish. The Aztecs did not mention ships but they say that only men who survived became fish. The Maya also that referred to that God sent a great fish to swallow all that God wanted to save and just because of this survived. As a curious detail, if you look at the picture that heads this letter, you can see two men dressed as fish!, Welcome to God after surviving the Flood. The image is engraved on the tablets where you found the story of Gilgamesh (the Sumerian version of the Flood).
After all this background, I venture to make some assumptions about what happened: The Flood undoubtedly existed. I do not think it was caused by the "wrath of God" (remember that Jesus speaks of a God of love, and this is the same God), I think that the flood was the result of a natural disaster because of the confrontation titanic war between two civilizations, Lemuria and Atlantis. Somehow, someone intervened (the Lemurs?, God?, Lemurs in behalf of God?) To save part of what has existed until now. And finally, I believe that the Ark (or vehicle) in which survivors traveled containing genetic samples from known living beings so far.
Myth? legend? Science Fiction? Reality? My friends, there are too many posts and many of them are very obvious.
