A team of scientists traced the hidden information in the world’s oldest map. According to the team, the map possibly indicates the location of Noah’s ark. This 3,000-year-old Babylonian tablet has puzzled archaeologists for centuries, but in the past few weeks, experts have discovered the true meaning behind this mysterious object. This inscribed cuneiform tablet was discovered in the Middle East and acquired by the British Museum in 1882. Since its discovery, people have been busy trying to understand the meaning of the map-like markings carved into the tablet. Scientists have named the engraving ‘Imago Mundi’ and say it is an aerial view of Mesopotamia from the 6th century BC.
According to the map, ancient Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) was surrounded by two circles named the ‘Bitter River’, which defined the border of the then known world. After more than a month of analyzing the inscriptions on the front and back of the plaque, researchers have claimed that they allude to events recorded in the Holy Bible. The back of the plaque is said to be a secret passage that tells travelers which path they can take and details what they should look for.A portion of the plaque purportedly states that anyone on the journey would have to travel a great distance to reach something as strong as a ‘parsiktu boat’.
According to the ancient Babylonian scriptures, the word prasikto refers to the size of a boat that would help survive a great flood. Another section contains the route to ‘Uraratu’ and directions for reaching there. According to the ancient Mesopotamian mythology, Urartu is believed to be a place where a man landed with his family in his big boat. Very compatible. According to Babylonian traditions, God sent a terrible flood on earth that destroyed all of humanity except for one family. The ‘Gilgamesh Flood Story’ (a great Babylonian poem, found on several clay tablets) dates back to 3000 years ago, while the biblical account of the flood is about 5000 years ago. occurred
