À propos de cet audio

In The Ark Before Noah, British Museum expert Dr Irving Finkel reveals how decoding the symbols on a 4,000 year old piece of clay enable a radical new interpretation of the Noah's Ark myth.

A world authority on the period, Dr Finkel's enthralling real-life detective story began with a most remarkable event at the British Museum - the arrival one day in 2008 of a single, modest-sized Babylonian cuneiform tablet - the palm-sized clay rectangles on which our ancestors created the first documents.

It had been brought in by a member of the public and this particular tablet proved to be of quite extraordinary importance. Not only does it date from about 1850 BC, but it is a copy of the Babylonian Story of the Flood, a myth from ancient Mesopotamia revealing, among other things, instructions for building a large boat to survive a flood.

But Dr Finkel's pioneering work didn't stop there. Through another series of enthralling discoveries he has been able to decode the story of the Flood in ways which offer unanticipated revelations to listeners of The Ark Before Noah.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The charged thrill of Finkel's chase permeates the book - the pages don't just join dots, they supply new pieces for a beautiful, Bronze-Age jigsaw-puzzle... Scholarly and droll, Finkel's writing is also eccentrically vivid... it is a joy." ( The Times)
"One of the most important human documents ever discovered... his conclusions will send ripples into the world of creationism and among ark hunters." ( The Guardian)

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. That the author, or this particular author anyway, reads this book certainly adds to the experience. I had seen a documentary and several lectures by the author, which I enjoyed to no end, about the subject but hadn't realized that he had also published a book on the subject. In my opinion this excellent, informative, and enjoyable book can be listened to with or without a background in history, archaeology, or any one of the many related fields but you probably will find that you want to read/listen to discover more about this area and

As always, Dr Finkel's work is wonderful to listen to, and to have him read it himself is even better. I could listen to him talk about ancient cuneiform writing, Babylonian culture, or mythological, flood-related stories all day long, and sometimes I do. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

You will never go wrong with Dr. Finkel.
