Arche Noah: Researchers discovered the final resting place in an ancient card!
Irak - A British researcher has aerated the riddle about the final resting place of the legendary Arche Noah! Together with his talented student Edith Horsley, he discovered a lost fragment of an almost 3000 year old world map in the British Museum in London. This sensational discovery could rewrite the story and leads the trail to modern Iraq, where the Noah ark is supposed to rest according to old traditions.
The ancient map, which was once found by Hormuzd Rassam in Sippar, shows the area of today's Iraq, which was known as Mesopotamia millennia ago. Although the card was discovered over a hundred years ago, a crucial piece was missing. Thanks to Horsley's persistence, which worked voluntarily in the museum, the missing fragment could now be identified. "It is the oldest world map in the world," explains Irving Finkel, the curator of the museum, and describes the exciting journey to find the last resting place of the ark.
The secrets of the oldest world map
The ancient clay table is not just a work of art, but a key to the secrets of the past. It not only shows the Euphrates river and the city of Babylon, but also a "bitter river", which indicates the geographical idea of the Babylonians. The triangles on the edge of the card symbolize mountains, and exactly where one of these triangles is shown, the location of the Noah's ark could be located. Finkel emphasizes that the card is an indispensable source for understanding the old world.
Although the real ark Noah - if it ever existed - is not easy to find in Iraq, the discovery of invaluable value remains. "This card opens doors to a better understanding of the limits of the well -known world," says Finkel enthusiastically. The associated video has already achieved over two million views and shows how fascinating the history of mankind can be. A comment from a spectator sums it up: "The guy talked about a piece of tone for 17 minutes and I didn't bore myself for a second." The curiosity about the past remains unbroken!
