Synopsis

Excerpt from The Mythos of the Ark

It is recorded in the Hebrew scriptures that once upon a time, somewhere about 2400 years before the Christian era, the Creator of the world was so incensed at the wickedness of men, that he determined to destroy the whole world, and that to effect this destruction he sent a deluge on the earth which covered the tops of the highest mountains, so that all living things perished excepting only Noah, his wife, and his three sons and their wives, with pairs or sevens of all the various kinds of animals which Noah was commanded to take with him into an ark, or floating house, which God had commanded him to build. These were shut up in the ark for several months, when, the flood having abated, the ark grounded on the top of a high mountain, and its inhabitants, released from their temporary imprisonment, replenished the earth with a new race of living creatures.

We have said the Hebrew scriptures record this narrative, and Englishmen are taught to believe that these scriptures are the infallible word of God - so the clergy of almost all denominations declare them to be. It is evident that such an event, had it really happened, could never have become a legitimate part of history. It relates altogether to times that are prehistoric, times of which oral tradition alone could tell.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
