What's the single most historically important artifact/object?
>>18069851Jerusalem, probably.
As time goes by it's going to be that cuneiform tablet with the flood myth on it.
>>18069862yimakh shemo
>>18069876What makes you confident saying that?
>>18070076It's a key piece of evidence that Christianity is just a redressing of older religious traditions.
>>18071020I thought it was already well established that many cultures throughout the world have a great flood myth.
>>18071020Or, alternatively, it is third-party proof of a biblical flood. Can go both ways.
>>18069851I have to wonder whether they wouldn't have eventually figured out hieroglyphs based on knowledge of Coptic with or without a bilingual text, given that they eventually figured out Linear B without a bilingual text based on knowledge of later Greek.

>humans need water to live>humans build settlements near water>big flood wipes out the settlements>OMG MULTIPLE CULTURES TALK ABOUT A FLOOD, THERE CAN ONLY EVER BE ONE FLOOD SO THEY MUST BE ALL TALKING ABOUT THE SAME ONE!!!!
>>18071555no lol it's proof that religion is anthropological and develops along with culture, just like language and art
>>18069851The holy prepuce.
>>18072069It’s still hard for me to believe that there are millions of people who insist that the whole planet was flooded for a couple weeks and that all land life was kept on a Bronze Age cruise ship.
>>18072123> This was not the only test of the relic's legitimacy: as anthropologist Eric Silverman writes, "A common test for foreskinned authenticity [in medieval times] was taste. A physician, supervised by a priest, sampled the skin for the flavor of genuine holiness. The taster was called a croque-prépuce, or ‘foreskin cruncher.’"if you're a christcuck, do you have to consider this normal?
>>18072161>a croque-prépucechat is this real?
>>18072161>anthropologist Eric Silverman writesDo I need to explain how this is a projection?
>>18072176christianity is jewish too, as was jesus
>>18072176>jew explains jew religiontakes one to know one
>>18071020>>18071535There is a great flood myth in Chinese culture too, just another example. Although the protagonist beat the floods himself instead of some God doing it
>>18072089Are you retarded and doesn't understand what a proof is?
>>18071020>some religion has a god myth>WHOA Christianity is just a redressing of older religious traditions
>>18072501There is a flood "myth" (historical account) made by aboriginals that we know is accurate because they can describe the underwater geography. The mediterranean is theorized to have been once dry due to a bunch of human settlements found at the bottom. Almost every culture of the ancient world would surely have a story of it flooding passed down if this was a singular event.
>>18069862Jericho and byblos are more important desu. We cant even excavate the latter properly.
>>18072523Your argument:>There was a worldwide great flood which every culture recorded and passed down as myth in various forms >These were all one flood (proof?)Occam's razor:>Floods are common>Fear of floods is common especially in ancient cultures>Defeating floods, stealing fire etc are common themes in myths and early cultures>Differing cultures developed their own flood myths over time
>>18072557We also know sea levels have changed since the end of the last ice age. So whole areas would have been inundated. Meaning that anyone fleeing rising sea levels from the retreating glaciers would have developed some kind of flood myth.
