DEBUNKING NOAH

Many OF the important perSonageS of
history have been shorn of much of their
supposed greatness by modern historians
and near-histOrians 1t was inevitable that
old Father Noah should get his debunking
in due time, and so it has happened
DIR. C. Leonard Woolley. noted archeol-
ogist and field director of the joint ex-
petition of the University of Pennsylvania
and British Museum in MesOpotamia, is
the debunker. He declares that excava-
tions along the Euphrates show that the
Flood of Noah's time. mentioned in the
Bible, was only local condition, and that
many of the inhabitants of the region es-
capped to safety in the hills.
The presence of Noah at the scene Is
doubted by DIR. Woolley, who places the
date of the flood at about 1000 B. c., while
the Jews first came to MesopOtamia some
1000 years later. The archeolOgist be-
lieyes that the Jews heard the legend of
Noah, the ark and the dove from the As
syrians and adopted it as their own. In
support of this view he pointed to As
syrian tablets which portray the story.
Anyway, 5000 years is a long time
back, and while most psychologists agree
that the popular idea of the flood IS great
Iy exaggerated, it is doubtful whether we
shall ever know just what happened
around the Euphrates valley in that dis
tant day.
