 Before
the Flood: The Biblical Flood as a Real Event and How It Changed the Course
of Civilization, by Ian Wilson
“Historian Wilson (The Blood and the Shroud), who has made a
career of proving the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, now turns his
attention to supporting the historical reality of the biblical flood in
this sweeping narrative of history, mythology and philology. Building upon
the work of William Ryan and Walter Pitman (Noah's Flood: The New Scientific
Discoveries About the Event That Changed History), Wilson shows that around
5600 B.C. a huge wave from the Mediterranean, caused by the melting glaciers
of the last Ice Age, broke over the land mass that connected Turkey to
Europe, creating the Bosporus Strait. Wilson draws on recent archeological
evidence to argue that this wave inundated agricultural societies around
the Black Sea, creating a worldwide diaspora and driving some of the survivors
south into Egypt, Mesopotamia and other parts of the Middle East. This
Black Sea flood and the southern migration, Wilson argues, are the basis
for the Genesis tale of Noah. He synthesizes the last 40 years' worth of
archeological findings into a lively detective story, showing how various
cultures in Europe, Asia and the Middle East still bear the vestigial traces
of their Black Sea roots. He confirms his theory by citing the numerous
myths of a great devastating flood and its aftermath among the Sumerians,
Babylonians, Greeks and others. Wilson does not aim to prove the literal
truth of the Bible story-only that Noah had real-life counterparts who
escaped the flood by ship. Nonetheless, the book is sure to spur some lively
debates. B&w illus. and photos.”
