The well-loved story of Noah, derived from the Babylonian myth of Uta-Napisthim and known from the older mythologies of several cultures. The legend of the animals going into the ark two by two is charming, but the moral of the story of Noah is appalling. God took a dim view of humans, so he (with the exception of one family) drowned the lot of them including children and also, for good measure, the rest of the (presumably blameless) animals as well. Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion pp237-238
1977: In Patagonia … ‘The Brontosaurus, I learned, was an animal that had drowned in the flood, being too big for Noah to ship aboard the Ark.’ Bruce Chatwin, cited Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin, Werner Herzog, BBC 2019
Floods, plagues, fire and brimstone – these legendary punishments were inflicted by a vengeful God. God’s Wrath, Discovery 2010
Approximately seven thousand years ago an ancient flood is thought to have swept across the Black Sea region. ibid.
It was the discovery of fresh-water shells in the saltwater Black Sea that offered proof of the flood. ibid.
How did global warming cause the Mediterranean to smash through the Bosporus Sill? ... The Ice Dam was melting, and around 8,400 years ago it finally gave way. Man on Earth with Tony Robinson II: Birth of Civilisation, Discovery 2009
Another prevalent theme in ancient texts, myths and religions is that of a cataclysm of some kind. Usually this comes in the form of a flood, fire or other devastating catastrophes. Ancient Aliens: The Mission s1e3
Does this mean that Noah was the product of artificial insemination, a genetic experiment performed by extraterrestrials? If so, what was the reason for the Great Flood? Ancient Aliens s1e5: The Return, History 2010
Based on Sumerian legends the epic of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest written stories in history. And tells of a man’s journey to the heavens to meet the god Anu. Ancient Aliens s2e6: Alien Tech

Known as earthquake lights, mainstream scientists have been studying the phenomena since they were first photographed in Japan in the 1960s. ibid.
Alien aircraft have been spotted at or near the sights of natural catastrophes since ancient times. Are extraterrestrials merely curious about geologic events on earth, or is there another more sinister motive for their interest? ibid.
On 14th April 1561 the citizens of Nuremberg awoke to a dawn spectacle of cylindrical objects appearing in the sky from which red, black, orange and blue discs emerged. According to eye witness accounts reported in the Nuremberg Gazette tubes resembling cannon barrels also appeared and the objects began to fight one another. ibid.
Is there a connection between eye-witness accounts of alien space wars and the sightings of UFOs during recent natural catastrophes? ibid.
If extraterrestrials did come to Earth in the distant past who were they and why did they come here? Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answers exist in early Sumerian texts. In 1849 British archaeologist Austen Henry Layard discovered 22,000 clay tablets in the ancient Sumerian city of Nineveh in what is now Iraq. The tablets are written in a cuniform script believed to be the oldest writing system created by the Sumerians 6,000 years ago. Arthur Zecharia Sitchin spent over 30 years translating these Sumerian clay tablets. In his 1976 book The 12th Planet Sitchin claims the Cuniform texts describe an alien race known as the Anunnaki, who came to Earth from an undiscovered planet in the solar system beyond Neptune called Nibiru. According to Sitchin, the Anunnaki first visited Earth 450,000 years ago during the age of the Neanderthal. The Anunnaki designed Homo sapians through genetic engineering to work for them and mine precious minerals. ibid.
Evidence of a cataclysmic event. Written accounts describing lost cities. And mythic tales of gods punishing humanity. In ancient cultures throughout the world there are numerous stories of mankind nearly being destroyed by a great flood, but could such an event have actually taken place, and might it have been caused by other-worldly force? Ancient Aliens s9e8: The Great Flood
‘Then, the Bible says, after a hundred and fifty days the waters started to recede. That’s impossible. Because water cannot move unless it falls. The flood covered the globe. It had nowhere to go.’ Inside the Mind of Leonardo starring Peter Capaldi, Sky Arts 2013
All creatures great and small, the Lord God drowns them all. Author unknown
And Noah he often said to his wife when he sat down to dine. ‘I don’t care where the water goes if it doesn’t get into wine.’ G F Chesterton, Wine and Water, 1914
And digging deeper into the text there are even more discrepancies ... There are two complete versions of the Flood story interwoven on the same page. Bible’s Buried Secrets
Mount Ararat: according to the Bible the area where Noah’s Ark came to rest after the great storm. It’s a desolate area rising above the head-waters of the Tigris River. In recent years several expeditions have explored the Ararat Mountains, and incredibly two separate teams believe they may have found the Ark in two different locations just seventeen miles apart. Unsolved Mysteries, 1992
So there was a great flood. But not 4,500 years ago when the Bible tells of Noah’s great journey ... The great flood happened 5,000 years earlier. ibid.

The CIA called it the Ararat Anomaly. ibid.
The Bible tells us that a flood covered the whole of the Earth. But most geologists can’t find any evidence to support such a theory. ibid.
Over the years many different theories have been advanced by creationists to explain how Noah’s flood really happened. ibid.
The Black Sea had been a freshwater lake ... A flood of Biblical proportions ... Water from the Mediterranean started to cut a channel through the Bosphorus. ibid.
As the water surged through the Bosporus at a hundred kilometres an hour it unleashed a volume of water two hundred times that of Niagara Falls ... Such a catastrophic event would have seemed to encompass the whole world. ibid.
The Book of Genesis tells of a catastrophic global flood. The Old Testament dating suggests that 2,400 years before the birth of Christ a man called Noah is told by God to build a gigantic ark. While the rest of humankind perishes in the storm, Noah his family and the animals they carry with them survive. The Truth Behind the Ark, 2010

The shapes and shadows seen by Ark hunters have been forged by Ararat’s volcanic past. ibid.
