Useless in what way? I would think any surviving maps would be of invaluable historical importance.
Yes they would. I was just trying to emphasize how total the flood would have been. You know, they actually have on old map, they say helped Columbus. From Turkey. Supposedly passed down from verbal records or something, before the flood. What is strange about it is that it has antartica mapped out real great! Remember, that was supposed to be iced up before man existed, I think. So how does this map match sattelite readings, looking under the ice in Antarica, to the surface below?
Could be some something to it. How else would he know? If you can't google it up, I may be able to search my old records. Mountains? Coul;d be. I think Walt Brown, of the hydroplate theory has it that there was a lot of uplift at the time. So, pre flood, if he's right, the mountains would have been a lot smaller.
Ararat may be our mt Ararat, though some say it was an older name for some forgotten mountain or range in the vicinity. One of the Moon astronauts, as I hear it found God, and actually died trying to climb it!
Why was he so convinced? Did he know something? I can't say. I sure believe in the ark, and the flood, though.
