> Let's say the biblical flood occurred roughly 6000 years ago. Can you compare the bible's history with a rough account of movements of peoples, starting in Babylon around 4000 BC (or some other early civilization around that time). so, let's assume the "flood survivors" of the bible are the ones who seed the early sumerian/babylonian culture.See pic for response from this prompt. The Jews are the Noah bloodline, which was originally a babylonian bloodline. At least, that's what they claim to be. The truth is probably weirder than that. The majority of jews are probably more like the slaves to that original babylonian bloodline. The entire jewish religion might be a retconn of the history to try to make all of that history lead up to them when technically speaking the judean region was just a little colony relative to the power of sumer and babylon in the earliest days, which is in fact where the "elite jew" claims to come from. This also happens to be what freemasonry claims to be (6000 years old), so we can assume freemasonry to be a variant of the ancient babylonian guild system that protected secrets, built mercantile empires, and is somewhat known to the world today as "jews", arguably because of the movement of christianity that exposed them.Again, much of this is about steelmanning these claims. I don't believe all bloodlines (or maybe any?) to be this ancient, nor is there necessarily an unbroken organization from then to now. However, I find it a little hard to believe that the core toolbox of the elite, who created both Judaism and Freemasonry, to be something that has been reinvented over and over. At minimum, ownership of this knowledge constitutes a continuous tradition.

Something important to remember is that knowledge is passed down through ritual structures codifying law, morality, and technical skills, even if the bloodline itself is broken.
