As for the charges of later "plagiarism", it's virtually certain that they are true. The story of Genesis seems to have the marks of clumsy translation from Sumerian.

 

As for the "flood", it is worthwhile to investigate its interpretation as the flooding of the Black Sea basin.

No question about it. Fables and legends are not created from thin air, there always is a reason. The fact that Armenian Mesopotamia (Euphrates and Tigris)is and always has been flooded repeatedly is the basis for the legend of the flood. As always fantasticised and exaggerated. As to the Black Sea, I would very much like to believe that yet there have been some scientists who doubt that too. Could it be that they are afraid to offend Jehovah and His "chosen people"?

As far as plagiarism, I thought they were more astute yet they failed miserably. They may have assumed that there would be no Armenians left and no one would remember that Masis is an Armenian mountain and their mountain is the Sinai, but then again it would have even a bigger lie to compose a flood story in the desert. What other lies have they perpetrated on us? Their bag of lies, elitism and xenophobia is revisting on them with vengeance. It may take another two thousand years before they see any semblance of peace. If at all. In the meantime they will keep sleeping in their combat boot every night.

Is there a lesson for us here?

Yes. Never lie, lest it revisit on you with a vengeance. Some day we may learn that lesson too.

Arpa,

 

I was very honest in my cynicism


I knew that:)

I can't fathom anybody with even half a brain be otherwise.

I wish we were this cynical a few hundred years ago. Perhaps now we would still hold the ownership papers of Masis.

Nice to see you!


Thanks. Likewise.

The legend in Gigamish was about Babeli King Family or Sumeri King?


As I remember, the Sumerian legend was adopted by the Babylonians, who kept a working knowledge of Sumerian, which was already a dead language at the time.

When I was a high school student for some reason I thought Sumerians were Armenians
Well, they did have an "Armenoid" component "anthropologically", implying that we probably share some ancestry with them. Way back, I also posted some Armenian words with apparent Sumerian connections. Some of them, such as "oror" and "gat" are unlikely to be borrowed, and I feel imply a direct ancestral link. What percentage of our ancestry is common with that of ancient Sumerians will probably never be known. However, every time I say "oror", I can't help think that I am using a word that survived more than 5000 years from parent to child.

Vahan,

Do I sense a tinge of cynicism and sacarsm in your comment?

Good!

It never ceases to amaze me how a lie, a fable perpetuated by us comes back to haunt us. This is not the first time, neither it will be the last time that we have spun a yarn, perpetuated a hoax which turned around to make us believe that it was the "gospel truth", literally. WE know that the legend of the flood and Noah was originally composed and told by the Armenians. Who else? It all happened in Armenia and an Armenian mountain was the stage. First it was stolen by Assyrians, see the Epic of Gilgamish, Masis was never an Assyrian mountain, from there it was stolen by another people and told as if it was their own, Masis was never their mountain either. Yet we forgot and still deny our own heritage and believe the lie, our very own lie, that other people have given back to us.

It makes me laugh how WE have perpetuated the practical joke of the modern era and how at least half of the world still believes in such fairy tales.

We should manufacture more lies and more practical jokes of the kind, sit back an laugh at those idiots who are using 21st c. technology to discover a nonexistent artifact that was "launched" with 2nd or 3rd millenium BC low tech.

Let's start another hoax. The Spanish Armada was in fact the fleet of the Armenian navy. Why would it otherwise be called Arm-ada?
