The Ark of our time/ Flood Legend
Sony rx100V/ French Antilles
Make yourself an arch of coniferous wood, you will make it into reeds and you will coat it with bitumen inside and outside. Here is how you will do it: three hundred cubits for the length of the arch, fifty cubits for its width, thirty cubits for its height. You will make the arch a roof and you will finish it a cubit higher, you will place the entrance of the arch on the side and you will make a first, a second and a third floor
Enter the ark, you and all your family, because I saw you alone in my eyes among this generation. Of all pure animals, you will take seven pairs, the male and the female; animals which are not pure, you will take a couple, the male and the female and also birds of the sky, seven pairs, the male and the female, to perpetuate the race on all the ground. For another seven days and I will make it rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights and I will erase from the surface of the ground all the beings I have made
Beware:Flood legends have also been highlighted in the mythologies of many peoples without a writing system, sometimes very far from Mesopotamia and the Eurasian continent: so legends of the Amerindian tribe of Ojibwe. Biblical fundamentalists conclude that Noah’s Ark was a real historical episode. But ethnologists and mythologists advise to take with caution legends such as those of the Ojibwe, who may have been born or have been strongly adapted to contact with Christianity, in a desire to harmoniously combine old and new beliefs. In addition, all of these legends stem from the common need to explain natural disasters, against which ancient societies were all powerless.
