Re: anchor stones away ...
Scroll down and see the huge communal meeting hall made totally out of reeds.
How many "kinds" do you suppose that would hold?
Also note the carvings denoting ancient reed shrines.
The link you showed me, they were speculating that they were reed shrines.
your BS link writes:
Could Ea/Enki's shrine have been rectangular too ? Perhaps the earliest shrines were made of reeds or marsh grasses and later of mudbrick ?
your BS link writes:
Another reed hut shrine (?) with totem poles and cattle with calves
*note the question marks because they don't know and are speculating. You fell for the specualtion.
Yep, those could withstand the sea conditions necessary for a global flood AND hold all the animal kinds.
but please don't be personally derogatory.
Would you like me to become personally derogatory? Because I sure as hell haven't yet. i'm calling you out on your bullshit. I'm sorry if you can't handle it.
Wait, no, I'm not sorry.

Re: anchor stones away ...
That is not a reference to ocean going reed boats of the magnitude necessary for the famed biblical ark. It is a reference for a piece of tar that possibly came off of a reed structure that was submersed in sea water.

The boat is represented by a slab of bitumen tar, with reed impressions on the top and barnacles attached to the bottom
You don't like providing actual evidence, do you?

Re: anchor stones away ...
They state that the pieces are thought to have been from boats.
Yes, thought. That is the key word.
Where do you get the evidence that the tar is from some other reed structure?
Where do you see solid evidence that it IS from massive hulking ark size reed ships? All this shows is a high possibillity that they were using bitumen tar for reed structures ~5000 BC. Whoopty friggin doo.

Re: anchor stones away ...
Cool story bra'. Now take all of that stuff you looked up and somehow try and marry it up with the biblical flood.

It has already been pointed out that, while somewhat feasable, ships of this magnitude are worthless as seafaring craft.
Try again dumbass.

Re: izatso?
I addressed this already (dare I say, demolished the argument?). Perhaps you should keep up with the thread, eh?

Ask yourself: does this list make ANY sense at all?
