Archaeologist and cuneiform expert Irving Finkel joins Lex Fridman to discuss the shocking discovery of a Babylonian clay tablet that predates the Biblical Noah’s Ark story by over 1,000 years. Before Genesis, before the Bible, before Noah—there was Atra-Hasis, Gilgamesh, and a ROUND ark blueprint written in ancient cuneiform.
Is Noah’s Ark based on an older Mesopotamian narrative?
Did the flood myth originate in Babylon?
What does this tablet mean for Biblical history?
This reaction breaks it all down — respectfully, historically, and with evidence.
