If the skeleton was found IN a layer of deep silt, MineralMan Aug 2014 #1
"Deep Silt" PeoViejo Aug 2014 #2
Yes, not really a well named skeleton. I think we can safely conclude this was *not* Noah. gtar100 Aug 2014 #5
Archaeologists often name a find after literary or historical Cleita Aug 2014 #8
Thank you. PumpkinAle Aug 2014 #19

Interesting. The article says he was buried in the silt after the flood. Autumn Aug 2014 #3
See my post #8. Cleita Aug 2014 #9
Yeah we know it's not Noah but they seem sure he lived through that particular flood Autumn Aug 2014 #12
Could be Noah - he could have hopped out of the boat csziggy Aug 2014 #21
It makes sense. The boat was rather tall I imagine. If he jumped out Autumn Aug 2014 #22

Thank you for an interesting article. Cleita Aug 2014 #6
Shouldn't he be called Gilgamesh? Dirty Socialist Aug 2014 #10
That would be closer to the legend. Cleita Aug 2014 #13
Close, but the name you're looking for is Utnapishtim. cemaphonic Aug 2014 #16
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing, and Utnapishtim's got no swing. Noah is better. Shrike47 Aug 2014 #27
Gil for short. hifiguy Aug 2014 #18
I'll be expecting "Scientists PROVE Noah lived !!" "They Find his body perfectly preserved " BlueJazz Aug 2014 #11
That makes him 500 years older than the world and creation itself. lunatica Aug 2014 #14
That's irony for you. Noah saved all of God's creatures from the flood. Then died from drowning. randome Aug 2014 #15
