Eric, I richly know how you feel; BTW, I suggest you review how I've
been treated in
this thread which I believe I myself started.
...

For the sake of getting our thread I started back on track, here are
extracts
from the Robert Best website on archaeology per se. Way cool for a
change would
it be were somebody to make a decision... just buy Best's book off
amazon.com
and respond back to us, especially with an informed opinion on how
well
backed up be Best's archaeology and entire reconstruction.

BTW, Tel Fara about 125 miles southeast of Baghdad is a very legimate
archaeological site,
don't you think? Somebody interested could research it and tell
sci.arch MORE.

Noah's Ark and the Ziusudra Epic Sumerian Origins of the Flood
Myth

"This book reconstructs the original legend and focuses on what would
be physically possible, technologically practical, and consistent with
archaeological facts and facts about flooding in the Euphrates River
valley."

A lost legend about Ziusudra, king of Sumer Skeptical view of the
flood myth
http://www.noahs-ark-flood.com/index.html

"Nor is there any archaeological proof that a man survived a flood by
being on a boat loaded with animals, food, and drinking water."

"The Noah's Ark book summarized here does not claim historicity for
Noah or the ark story, but the book does claim that some of the story
elements in the Ancient Near East flood were based on an actual river
flood. This archaeologically attested flood of the Euphrates River has
been radiocarbon dated to about 2900 BC. This flood left a few feet of
yellow mud in the Sumerian city Shuruppak, the ruins of which have
been found at Tel Fara about 125 miles southeast of Baghdad. Some but
not all Sumerian cities also show signs of this river flood at the
beginning of the Early Dynastic I period. According to the Sumerian
King List, a legendary king named Ziusudra lived in Shuruppak at the
time of the flood."

"The Noah's Ark book gives the exact location (within a few yards) of
Noah's altar where he offered a sacrifice after the barge grounded. It
is an archaeological site and has already been excavated by
archaeologists."
