This raises a number of very interesting points @tremendospercy. I can't go into them all now as I'm trying to finish a big blog post but I'll touch on a couple.

We find a number of similarities when investigating cities, religions, earlier civilizations and stories/myths from the different regions and cultures that pre-dated us.

I believe that the flood was real. Science explains it by claiming that the ice-caps melted and the date that they claimed when it happened is only a few thousand years different to the biblical claim.

Dr Morris added that artefacts from the site would need to be very carefully analysed, and pointed out that the C14 carbon dating process is not without its error margins.

Carbon dating is far from perfect and it may explain the few thousand years discrepancy?

Some people wrote nonsense, as they do today. However it would foolish to believe that some of our ancestors didn't write genuine historical accounts of what they saw and believed while they were living.

Separating fact from fiction is the key, it also the most challenging part.

Great post, you've got me thinking which is always a good thing.
