You have introduced a historical account that pre-dates the OT and confirms a localized flood. Does a historacal account of anything not need grammar?
I have not done that, but it is evident this is the case with the OT. According to its narratives, the OT was wriiten 3,200 years ago, while it's diarised calendar describes a 6000 year history - the OT is describing a retrospective history in this instant, and this is common knowledge. While many theological documents do this, they do not contain the evodential historical stats and specs seen in the OT.

Why do you keep saying such nonsense when your even contradicting yourself in the same post? There is "historical portrains" of this period seen elsewhere - your using it as supporting evidence for your claims! The details that you claim would not be known to the world without Genesis are in fact recorded in other documents, ones you have attempted to use repeatedly as support.
The flood is mentioned elsewhere in other writings, and it constitutes a small segment of the Genesis account. There is no need for a retraction, but I concede the texts can be read differently as to the size of the flood, while all the surrounding descriptions here are authentic and generally accepted by most archeologists: I refer to descriptions of names, places and datings, seen here for the first time in such detail.
