Before Noah: The Truth They Don’t Teach You in Church!

Опис:

Long before the Biblical account of Noah’s Ark was composed, ancient civilizations told remarkably similar stories of catastrophic floods and divine survival. In this episode, MythVision explores the ancient origins of the flood myth, tracing it back to early Mesopotamian narratives such as the Sumerian tale of Ziusudra, the Akkadian Epic of Atrahasis, and the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh. These accounts, written centuries before Genesis, reveal a rich tradition of flood legends that deeply influenced later Biblical literature. Through archaeological discoveries, comparative mythology, and critical scholarship, we uncover the historical and literary connections that reshape how we understand the story of Noah. This video also examines the astonishing presence of flood myths across the globe — from India’s tale of Manu, to Greece’s story of Deucalion and Pyrrha, to Native American and Polynesian traditions. By comparing these ancient narratives, we highlight the flood as a powerful symbol of human resilience, divine judgment, and cultural memory. Understanding the deep roots of the flood tradition not only challenges conventional readings of the Bible but also enriches our appreciation for humanity’s shared storytelling heritage. Join MythVision as we journey beyond the familiar tale of Noah to uncover the deeper, older truths hidden in the ancient world.
