   Thousands of years of archaeological confirmations and this is all you have?   
      
   Stick to turning wooden dowels, you simple-minded, faith bigot trash!   
      
   https://uncanceled.news/scientists-have-deciphered-the-worlds-ol   
   est-map-and-it-reveals-the-location-of-noahs-ark/   
      
   A discovery of absolutely epic proportions has just been revealed, but   
   the corporate media in the United States almost entirely ignored it.  A   
   team of scientists led by Dr. Irving Finkel has deciphered the oldest   
   map in the world, and we are being told that it actually reveals the   
   location of Noah’s Ark.  This is huge news, but the corporate media in   
   our country was so focused on the presidential election that they barely   
   took notice of it.  Fortunately, many foreign news outlets published   
   feature stories about this amazing discovery.  For example, the   
   following comes from the Jerusalem Post…   
      
   Scientists have recently unlocked the secrets of the world’s oldest map,   
   a 3,000-year-old clay tablet known as the Imago Mundi, which is believed   
   to show the location of Noah’s Ark. The ancient Babylonian artifact,   
   etched with cuneiform—a script using wedge-shaped symbols—has puzzled   
   archaeologists for centuries. Discovered in what is now Iraq in 1882,   
   the tablet is housed at the British Museum, where it has become one of   
   its famous collections.   
      
   The Imago Mundi depicts a circular world map, illustrating early   
   Babylonian ideas about the world’s creation. The map is thought to show   
   the entire known world at the time, with Mesopotamia at the bottom center.   
      
   This ancient Babylonian artifact deeply puzzled researchers for many years.   
      
      
   But now the code has been cracked, and the reverse side of the artifact   
   contains incredibly stunning information…   
      
   On the reverse side of the artifact, passages reportedly provide a guide   
   describing what a traveler would encounter on their journey, including a   
   path to “Urartu” and specific instructions on how to get there. One   
   passage says: “To the fourth, to which you must travel seven leagues.”   
   Another passage reportedly instructs those on the journey to go through   
   “seven leagues to see something that is thick as a parsiktu-vessel.”   
      
   The term “parsiktu” appears on other ancient Babylonian tablets,   
   referencing the scale of a vessel meant to withstand the legendary Great   
   Flood. Researchers believe that Urartu, also known as Ararat, is linked   
   to an ancient Mesopotamian poem recounting a family who, like Noah,   
   landed their ark to preserve life following the 150-day flood. As the   
   flooding ended, they were safely stationed at one of the peaks of   
   Urartu, which aligns with “Ararat,” the Hebrew term for the mountain   
   where Noah’s Ark is said to have come to rest after the flood.   
      
   I was floored when I first saw this.   
      
   According to Dr. Finkel, there is no doubt that Ararat “is the Hebrew   
   equivalent of the Assyrian ‘Urartu’”…   
      
   “The first place you come to is called ‘Urartu’, it’s drawn on the map.   
   Now, the interesting thing about that is that in the Bible Noah, in his   
   Ark, landed on a mountain where the name is ‘Ararat’ and ‘Ararat’ is   
   the   
   Hebrew equivalent of the Assyrian ‘Urartu’. That’s quite a meaty thing,   
   quite an interesting thing to think about because it shows that the   
   story was the same, and of course that one led to the other but also,   
   that from the Babylonian point of view, this was a matter of fact   
   thing,” said Finkel.   
      
   He added, “If you did go on this journey, you would see the remnants of   
   this historic boat which saved all the life of the world for the   
   long-term future.”   
      
   This is one of the biggest archaeological bombshells in history, and the   
   British Museum has released a video in which Dr. Finkel shares more   
   details about this remarkable discovery.
