Many semitic religions have floodmyths, such as the one where the watergod Enki safes his favorite two humans from the flood of other dickish gods.
Now, there might have been some serious flood around the levant, black sea or persian gulf that fucked over some important early citystates which inspired stories about it later on tying it to the divine that ended up in the israelite peoples memory , but saying there was a giant continentdrowning flood is not supported by any geologists of merit.
>>1151721
See the problem here is that you are laying the fault at the feet of the victim and not the instigator. Trolling is against the rules of the board, mocking the trolls isn't.

The Axial Age happened:
>Confucius and Lao-Tse were living in China, all the schools of Chinese philosophy came into being, including those of Mo Ti, Chuang Tse, Lieh Tzu and a host of others; India produced the Upanishads and Buddha and, like China, ran the whole gamut of philosophical possibilities down to materialism, scepticism and nihilism; in Iran Zarathustra taught a challenging view of the world as a struggle between good and evil; in Palestine the prophets made their appearance from Elijah by way of Isaiah and Jeremiah to Deutero-Isaiah; Greece witnessed the appearance of Homer, of the philosophers - Parmenides, Heraclitus and Plato, - of the tragedians, of Thucydides and Archimedes. Everything implied by these names developed during these few centuries almost simultaneously in China, India and the West.
Christofaggotards hate it because it implies (correctly) that the spiritually most important epoch of humanity has nothing to do with christofaggotardian "revelation" (that is, fiction).

The validity of the concept has been called into question.[29] In 2006 Diarmaid MacCulloch called the Jaspers thesis "a baggy monster, which tries to bundle up all sorts of diversities over four very different civilisations, only two of which had much contact with each other during the six centuries that (after adjustments) he eventually singled out, between 800 and 200 BCE".[30] A comprehensive critique appears in Iain Provan's 2013 book Convenient Myths: The Axial Age, Dark Green Religion, and the World That Never Was.[31]

/pol/ will often resort to pseudo-science and select whatever sources support their agenda, neglecting valid sources that dont. They will often resort to inaccurate buzzwords, ad hominem, memeing and other fallacies when their limited ability to reason prevent them from giving a good counterargument. Discussing with an ignorant /pol/ tard is a chore, because although /pol/ gets btfo eventually on more intellectual boards like /his/, they will continue to spam and meme until everyone gets fed up, at which point the /pol/ tard thinks he has won.

Nationalists and racists aren't a problem. The problem is /pol/ retards who are probably underaged newfags coming here and shitting up the board with cancerous /pol/ memes like "we wuz" and "it's 2016".

Christofaggotards still butthurt that their religion is irrelevant to the spiritual development of mankind and only widespread because of ISIS- and bolchevik-style methods.
>tries to bundle up all sorts of diversities over four very different civilisations, only two of which had much contact
No shit Einstein. Even a child knows that these religions and civilizations didn't influence each other. You and your irrelevant "scholar" missed the point entirely. What is remarkable about the Axial Age is that mankind transitioned from the age of mythology to the age of speculative reasoning about religion and spirituality and it did it simultaneously in all of these great civilizations. What is note-worthy is that they DIDN'T have much contact, not that they influenced each other. Thus what you proclaimed to be some sort of "refutation" is actually the point. Thus you have missed it and embarrased yourself.
Champollion's breakthrough came in 1822 when he realised hieroglyphs should be read, not as symbols of ideas or objects, but as a phonetic script. The sound associated with each symbol was crucial to deciphering it. It was a 'eureka' moment. 'Je tiens mons affaire (I've done it),' Champollion shouted, before falling into a dead faint for five days.

And most were treated very well. Narsieh, for example, the last Prince of Sassanid Persia, was inducted to the T'ang Imperial Guards.

Ever heard of the term "steeplejacking"? It's when a parachurch organization spreads antiChristian information to divide a church or to take it over, presumably to take its property and funds. These parachurch organizations are funded by the Institute for Religion amd Democracy, qhich is a Republican thinktank.
The term is also the title of a book that explains in detail what I've just said.
I don't believe in the New World Order or David Icke, and most people don't even fucking care since all they'll just say is "le butthurt Christians" or "Protcuck scumbags being scumbags", but it's a dear topic to me.

I feel like it is the red sea that flooded, which might have buried a somewhat advanced (i.e. that there was civilization at all) Semitic people. Hence the myth of the flood, atlantis, and it explains why Sumerian is a language isolate. Just a pet theory. The red sea would have been a river valley Fed by the Tigris and Euphrates but at a lower elevation could have been much more lush.
Little known, but here goes: Islam could only spread because the Byzantines and Persia were busy fighting each other when it started its conquest.
