Dear immortals, click on the above to pay attention to and support Xiaoxian to bring more high-quality works to everyone
I believe that many immortals have heard the story of Noah's Ark, if there is still no one to hear, it does not matter, today Xiao Xian takes you to appreciate the myths and legends, carrying the story of the giant ship of hope for life
"Noah's Ark" is the story described in the first Genesis book recorded in the Christian Bible, which roughly reads:
About 6,000 years ago, God saw that the sins of the people on earth were so great that even their minds were a source of evil, and he repented of destroying them from now on.
Of all the people of that time, Noah was gracious in God's eyes, a righteous man who walked with God. He told him about the imminent destruction of mankind and asked him to build a large square ark out of Gopher wood, smeared with rosin inside and out.
God told him to bring not only your family, but also flesh and blood. Two of each, one male and one female. Birds, livestock, and insects each accumulate from their species, bringing with them a variety of food and seeds.
Noah obeyed God's instructions to build an ark for the whole family, and on the day noah turned 600, the fountain of the abyss was unlocked, a window came from the sky, and forty days and forty days and nights heavy rain fell on the ground.
The water was huge, for one hundred and fifty days, and all the creatures on the ground were drowned, and finally Noah's Ark stopped at the top of Mount Ararat.
When the water dried up, various animals and Noah's family reappeared on the new earth, and after continuous multiplication, they eventually developed into the current world.
See here do you think, this is just a mythical story, really not. But if you think about it, isn't there some similarities in a Chinese myth? Are these stories actually true?
With the increasing progress of science and technology, the research on archaeology in various countries has more and more facts to prove that "God's great water destroys the world" is unfounded.
This does not deny that the story of Noah's Ark is not impossible, and as archaeological work progresses, archaeologists have discovered that there have indeed been devastating floods in human history.
According to myths and stories such as Nüwa Patching Heaven and Dayu Zhishui, traces of the Great Flood can be inferred from many documents and the numerous mountain and river topographic structures found.
In 1850, archaeologists excavated many clay tablets in the ancient Assyrian country, which were identified as more than 5500 years old, including a text section that records the epic of Gurgamehi.
It tells the story of a tower called the End. The story of Napitim's man and his wife fleeing for their lives in a great ship in a great flood that engulfed the world is very similar to Noah's Ark.

Some people in history have also found shadows similar to Noah's Ark
The trail of Noah's Ark has been spread by the world over the years, and many devout Christians have continued to search for it, but in the end they have found nothing. As a result, many explorers have climbed Mount Ararat many times, but have not found it.
In 1916, when the Russian pilot Tramy flew over the snow-capped mountains, he saw a ship the size of a house on the hill, reported it to the Tsar, and formed an expedition, but due to the outbreak of war, it could not be stopped.
In 1953, the French explorer Nabala ascended Mount Ararat and found an old plank in the middle of the glacier, which was at least 4,000 years old, and believed that it was the fragment of the ark.
In 2010, an archaeological team composed of Hong Kong, China, and Turkey claimed to have found the remains of a suspected Noah's Ark in the Ararat Mountains in Turkey, which contained ancient wooden structures.
The team claimed in his interview that there was a 99.9% certainty that this was the remains of the Eurasian Ark, and then the wood was identified by carbon elements and indeed existed before 4800 BC, which is also the date of noah's ark in the record.
Through the analysis of aerial photographs, the ruins resemble a wooden structure in the shape of a giant ship. Archaeological pairs then entered the structure and found ancient objects such as clay pots, ropes and plant seeds, combined with the fact that the site was at a height of more than 4,000 meters, and all indications were that this wooden structure was the Noah's Ark recorded in the Bible.
A number of small compartments have also been found in its structure, with subtle evidence that this was the compartment used to keep animals in captivity at the time. A series of discoveries were ultimately not recognized by international academics, and the wooden structures found in the site were cypress wood, rather than gopher wood recorded in the Bible.
Some people say that even if there is a huge flood, the earth's water level will not rise to an altitude of 5,000 meters, and after so many years, the ark should be moved by glaciers to the lower highlands, at least on the hillside should be able to find the broken wood chips of the ark, but no one has ever found such a large wood, let alone an ark.
Myths cannot be believed, but neither can myths be believed. It is precisely because the ancients lacked corresponding scientific knowledge and often combined imagination and mythology when describing natural disasters, so we should adopt a dialectical point of view for historical culture.
In this regard, the true existence of Noah's Ark is debatable.
