Re: Does Archeology Support Religion
A Documentary based on the research of Haroon Yahya on Noah’s Ark.
The Documenatary is divided as under:
From 0:01 to 12:25 [The things mentioned in Quran for Hazrat Noah (AS) - his preachings, constrution of the ark, flood and destruction]
From 12:26 to 14:00 [Dealing with the issue whether the flood was global or local. As per Quran it was local towards people of Noah. Archeology shows that it happened in Mesopotamia (current day Iraq)]
From 14:01 to 17:00 [Dealing with te history of catastrophies in Mesopotamia supported by historical references]
From 17:00 to 23:00 [Dealing with the archeological evidence from exacavation conducted by British Musuem in the four cities of Mesopotamia (Ur, Erech, Shurupaak, Kish). Evidences of exacavations in all cities by different archeologists prove flood in all the cities during same period.]
23:25 - 25:00 [Dealing with the question, ‘were all the animals were carried on the Ark?’ the answer is ‘no’ as per the Quranic version]
25:20 to 26:25 [Dealing with the question 'how high did the waters rise? Koh e Judi(The moutain of Judi) as interpreted by some people is not the name of specifc mounain. In arabic Judi means a higher place (IMO Jad from where we took Aaba o ajdaad may refer to higher hierarchy of relations)]
26:39 to 29:17 Dealing with the religions and cultures mentioning the great flood - Its even mentioned in Greek and Indian traditions of Mahabharata
