The Ark Before Noah

In this book, Irving Finkel deciphers a recently discovered cuneiform tablet that reveals a new version of the Babylonian Flood Story.

The tablet provides detailed boat-building specifications and describes the ark as a giant round boat, or coracle.

Finkel's work opens up new insights into the ancient Mesopotamian world and its influence on biblical narratives.

The book is a blend of detective work, historical scholarship, and engaging storytelling, offering a fresh perspective on the origins of the Noah's Ark story.
