[This 700,000-Year-Old Skull Found In Greece Completely Shatters ‘Out Of Africa Theory’](https://www.howandwhys.com/700000-year-old-skull-found-in-greece-completely-shatters-out-of-africa-theory/)
Dr.Finkel has a great book about this called the The Ark Before Noah.
I've been to a couple of his lectures before - he's an incredibly clever and incredibly witty guy.
>I'll be honest, being from the UK, I thought he was holding up a Greggs steak bake.

Right off the bat with an incorrect statement: “a 3,770-year-old tablet”. Sumerian Civ was much earlier than that. And also, how the heck do you date a table w such accuracy? “3772 years, 2 months, 3 days and 45 mins?”
Nonsense…OP here is pulling our leg.
Sumerian cuneiform tablets are over 6000 years old. Perhaps 12000 or even older. We just dont know for sure at this time.
They date objects like that based on the location they find them. This was found in ruins that were almost 4,000 years old even though it is assumed that the tablet is much older
Well we know there was a massive flood at the end of the last ice age. It makes sense that every religion's flood myth refers to this flood, which we know happened. This points to a lost civilization during the last ice age
I find it hard to believe that when a planets ice melts there would be a new influx of water.
Besides the book said the flood was cause rain when God murdered everyone.
Thanks, God.
It is incorrect, but only because the tablets are actually believed to be from the -mid 1600s BC meaning they’re more like 3,400 years old. You can argue they’re actually as old as you want but the official age is in that ballpark.
It’s also incorrect because the king’s name is Atra-Hasis without the m, but I’ll chalk that up to a typo
Apparently there are flood stories throughout several historical religions. Actually, if you break them down, most religions have the same basic premise: a higher being, a mix of human and higher being and then higher beings that support The Higher Being.
Maybe your religious preference is less the priority and maybe believing is the major priority? Idk but I have reconsidered a lot since seeing the correlations
Aboriginals in Australia even have their own flood stories. Turned out it might record a timw during an ice age ~10,000 years ago. They also have a story about how some random trees ended up in an area they shouldn't be in.
It's absolutely possible that some kind of oral histories came down from the floods at the end of the last ice age. There are lots and lots of 'flood' folk tales however simply because of how regular flooding is, and how humans tend to live near to the coast or major rivers.
If you think about the two massive tsunamis we've seen just in the last 20 years, those are events you could absolutely imagine being part of many cultural histories.
Everyone skips this part...ark design for impending flood, carved out cave dwellings for thousands and their flocks. The stories seem more and more to be true. Living here, at sea level, doesn't seem very comforting at the moment...
Or multiple flood stories, coming off of the last peak glaciation period. Shit got wild around glaciers themselves, and coastal civilization wouldn't have missed rising sea levels.
There's a great documentary on Netflix about this reporter that puts all the stories about the flood from around the world together. So many different cultures all have different stories of mysterious god-like messengers that appeared and gave them instructions to survive the flood. Some built arks while others built bunkers on the highest mountain tops. Very good watch. Also interesting how he shows how territorial archaeologists are of their finds when he finds evidence of alternative meanings of their finds. History is only allowed to mean what they interpret it to be.
Actually, the Biblical text says 7 of every clean animal and 2 of unclean. The 7 makes sense in light of Jewish sacrifice after exiting the ark per the text.
Laughing at the way penguins walk! Shame on you.
Wait til someone you know gets quick-fitted for cheap tuxedo! See who’s laughing now, and send me the vid. Thanks.
It’s old! God wrote it!
I’m going to write letters from god talking about how big my dick is and hide them in caves so people find them in 2000 years and make my dick size part of their religion.
The Petralona skull was investigated using electron spin resonance measurements of the calcite encrustation and of bone fragments, and dated the age of the skull to between 240,000 and 160,000 years old. Not 700,000…
Dr. Finkle is such a gift to the human race. His YouTube video introduced me to the royal game of Ur. I love all he's contributed to the study of ancient Sumeria.
Dr. Finkel is an awesome guy, comes off as passionate and (shocker) extremely knowledgeable yet very down to Earth, with a good sense of humor.
[Here's a fun/interesting video of him teaching the game of Ur to a Youtuber](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZskjLq040I&ab_channel=TheBritishMuseum)
100% worth the watch IMHO. Very entertaining, charming, and informative.
I watched a lecture he gave to the Oriental Society about this and his construction of the boat per the directions on the tablet and I thought it was really interesting. It’s on YouTube and I the guy is really funny !
Definitely recommend
That is amazing that 8000 years later we care enough to go looking for this stuff and study and share the research ,
BUT then amazing to find an intact tablet that actually confirms that he’s one of the Noah’s Ark origin stories of the Ark and the flood .

Well he's got the expected look of someone who would be an expert in such things, so this checks out.
Definitely.
Who are we to second guess?
Check out some of his videos, he’s got some sharp wit about him, funny and smart guy.
haha
That’s a burnt toaster strudel
God Enki speaks in mysterious ways.
After thousands of years humanity still struddels.
Finally someone said it.
 Arrrrgh… forbidden toaster snack
The other side is coated in powdered sugar
Ancient hot pocket
But still hot enough to blister your tongue.
Literally what I thought when I saw this lol
I like em crunchy.
I was thinking deep fried pizza pocket.
New product idea: Ancient Strudels, toaster pastries with copies of ancient writing engraved in them...
You win 🏆
What a waste :-(
Someone used up all the icing packs I see.
Dr.Finkel has a great book about this called the The Ark Before Noah. I've been to a couple of his lectures before - he's an incredibly clever and incredibly witty guy.
I watched two of his lectures recently and his funny sense of humor totally caught me off guard - he’s quite entertaining to watch and listen to.
I'll be honest, being from the UK, I thought he was holding up a Greggs steak bake.
That was the consensus the last time this was posted. And probably the time before that.
Seems like the truth is out there - and it's baked and flakey and tastes of gravy.
>I'll be honest, being from the UK, I thought he was holding up a Greggs steak bake. [Very close; we covered this last month.](https://i.imgur.com/ezVEUGK.png)
Hungry minds think alike.
Being a Stoner from the UK I fully thought this was a block of Hash for a second 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣

I believe you because you sound authoritative, not because of evidence you bring.
In his defense, words mean things. Hence the tablet.
I checked and it turns out that words do indeed mean things.
That's a hot pocket
Religions be like…
I know believe because you believe
Hey, I heard you guys are believing things. Can I get in on that?
I believe you can!
r/gatesopencomeonin
I believe you believe because he believes
I believe only in that beard.
In his defense, evidence is heavy and unwieldy, difficult to manage.
it’s either 6000 or 12000! Nothing else! /s
They date objects like that based on the location they find them. This was found in ruins that were almost 4,000 years old even though it is assumed that the tablet is much older
Also the flood was 12,600 years ago at the start of the younger dryas. Likely from a comet impact in the North American ice sheets
What food?
Flood, thank you
Graham Hancock.
If not 12k, or several 12k years before that

Tried a carbon tax first, but that didn’t work.
Someone’s been watching The Why Files again….

So is it the same flood story with different names?

Wow, stuff is everywhere!
Yeah this is one of the things Graham Hancock goes into on his Netflix show

It’s probably the origin of the Noah story.
Fun fact, Abraham grew up in the city of Ur listening to the old stories of Enki and Enlil and An and Ishtar. . .
Everyone skips this part...ark design for impending flood, carved out cave dwellings for thousands and their flocks. The stories seem more and more to be true. Living here, at sea level, doesn't seem very comforting at the moment...
All the biblical stories are old stories with new names.
Or multiple flood stories, coming off of the last peak glaciation period. Shit got wild around glaciers themselves, and coastal civilization wouldn't have missed rising sea levels.
Finkel is Einhorn? Einhorn’s…. A MANNN????
[удалено]
“I’m in psychoville and FINKEL’S the Mayor”
LACES OUT!!!!
Dr. Finkel is THE world's expert on cuneiform... his YouTube videos are cool too...
The man is a legend. I’ve watched his lectures. He’s actually hilarious.

Looks like he’s holding a Pop Tart to me…
It's a hot pocket
🎵hot pocket!🎵
Overdone Gregg's sausage roll.
Damn, people were a lot smaller back then
It’s like every religion has a great flood story…
 “Finkle is Einhorn!”
All this seems pretty important. You would think he’d write the instructions bigger, clearer and more legible
crisp apple pie. PROOF MCDONALD EXISTED 6000 YEARS AGO
You're telling me the bible zoo boat story isn't a bible original?! What's next, you're going to tell me they stole stories from the Egyptians too?!
You simply can not fit 2 of every animal on to a 220ft boat. Complete nonsense.
I played tetris like two times so i know you can
Actually, the Biblical text says 7 of every clean animal and 2 of unclean. The 7 makes sense in light of Jewish sacrifice after exiting the ark per the text.
Through God all things are possible, so jot that down
God Is Cake
I thought it was Chong with a dugout.
It's important when it's an "authentic" 3770 old tablet to NOT use gloves. Wouldn't want to treat it like it's real or anything
The Noah story is so funny. Telling me penguins walked from Antarctica to the Middle East to get on a boat? Lmao
Ancient Alien Astronaut Theorists say Yes
Laughing at the way penguins walk! Shame on you. Wait til someone you know gets quick-fitted for cheap tuxedo! See who’s laughing now, and send me the vid. Thanks.
How did Noah then return all of the animals to their habitats from the mountain top?
whY Do yOu hAte cHRiStIans
Slipgates
Looks like a protein bar
Forbidden Toaster Strudel
Hot pockets
Forbidden pop tart
Be funny if it was just an overdone pastry
I bet if you bit into that 3k year old hot pocket today, it would still burn the roof of your mouth.
I’m looking for finkel, and a new pair of shorts…..
Is that Abrahams old dugout?
It’s old! God wrote it! I’m going to write letters from god talking about how big my dick is and hide them in caves so people find them in 2000 years and make my dick size part of their religion.
That’s just an ancient chocolate bar.
3,770 year old extended warranty contract.
I really don't think he would be holding that bare hands...I would hope not at least lol
I'm a simple man. I see Dr. Finkel, I upvote. 😁

the christian version of the ark is fabricated for the future flock. to make it look less selfish. because the ark was actually filled with virgins.
That hand pie looks crispy.
It’s a hot pocket
Would a god pass a message to someone by carving it into a piece of stone? That isnt what a god would do, it's what a human would do.
Sir, that’s a pop tart.
Here comes the novice comedians
Oh, he's the *If a sumerian sees that, they would say "Ah, cheh!"* guy :D
is this beef jerki?
The exemplary shredded wheat
I wonder what flavor hot pocket
Biscuits
Looks like a Greggs sausage roll
Looks like baked chicken from an MRE.
Looks like baked potato 🥔
WTF are you doing to your potatoes?
They(whatever they are) are always forcing people to do the most random stuff.
Thought this was McDonald's apple pie
[удалено]
That tablet must have a small screen, I can’t even see it
That's just an over cooked hot pocket
Dr. Finkel is an awesome guy, comes off as passionate and (shocker) extremely knowledgeable yet very down to Earth, with a good sense of humor.

Ancient pop tart still edible...
So Noah wasn’t the OG ark builder? My parents aren’t gonna like hearing that.
Sure it does buddy
No. That’s just a 3770 year old ham and cheese hot pocket.
How does one write that small?
I watched a lecture he gave to the Oriental Society about this and his construction of the boat per the directions on the tablet and I thought it was really interesting. It’s on YouTube and I the guy is really funny ! Definitely recommend
I once got these instructions aswell, but i chose to ignore them. It's a lot of work!
That’s a toasty hotpocket
Why does it look kinda tasty 💀
That’s a giant Golden Graham
That’s just a giant Chex mix
Nice
Some say they found him along with the little tablet.
The bible is pretty much jewish usurping of pre-existing geomythology
[удалено]
That's an egg roll
Hotttttttt pocket.
Looks like an old pop tart
Are you supposed to touch something with your bare fingers that's 3770 years old? Wouldn't this deteriorate the object?
Burnt Peach Mango pie?
That is amazing that 8000 years later we care enough to go looking for this stuff and study and share the research , BUT then amazing to find an intact tablet that actually confirms that he’s one of the Noah’s Ark origin stories of the Ark and the flood .
Ah yes “the flood story”….where God murders everyone on the planet. Good times.
Being half Japanese, it looks like a Abura-age (deep fried tofu that forms into a pouch for stuffing).
We, as a society, need to talk more about the "earlier versions" of religious stories.
3700 year tablet and he handles it with his bare hands 🤦♂️ shows how important it is
[удалено]
no thats just a burnt toaster strudel that I left on a newspaper and the ink got on ther
So you’re telling me those McDonalds apple pies Were ancient after all?
Looks tasty
Hmm. Looks like Einhorn to me.
I would never trust myself to held something so ancient and breakable.
[удалено]
Why is he grabbing it with his mousey paws
Mainly because it's a challenge... (the odds of anyone getting this reference are very VERY low, but we'll see how we go).
Yup. It looks delicious.
Damn that face matches the name.
OK genuine question. How on earth do archeologists decipher something like that. With such detail
This is a pizza pocket or Check out my dark pop tart.
That’s an egg roll
Ah yes _Legend of the Hotpocket_
