RE: Mythical ...Noah's Ark, Amazons and a man battered by a living myth

in #fiction8 years ago

What can I say…?
First of…
A legend is presumed to have some basis in historical fact and tends to mention real people or events. Historical fact morphs into a legend when the truth has been exaggerated to the point that real people or events have taken on a romanticized, "larger than life" quality. In contrast, a myth is a type of symbolic storytelling that was never based on fact. Throughout time, myths have sought to explain difficult concepts (e.g., the origin of the universe) with the help of common story devices, such as personification and allegories.

Secondly, according to the Bible, the water during the Biblical flood rose to 15 cubits, which is approximately 27 feet. So I don’t see why you had to undertake a match to Ararat’s peak 16,854 ft? Unless, someone just puts its remains to a better site.

Also, this thing about Amazons. I wonder why would they still shoot bows and arrows in this day of age? This is kind of insulting intelligence of women, don’t you think? Unless, of course, you meant sports bows. If anything, I would imagine they would be stealth owners of Amazon.com


Other than that, just loved it!

I am glad you loved it...you know of course that fiction is no excuse for stupidity so for my failings herein I humbly apologize and take solace in the fact that it worked on some level :) (You are a very reflective reader, BTW - I tend to be emotional)

I tend to be an ass, but then after some time, my soul gets out of the ass and goes back to my head, where it suppose to be. 👌

I liked your response :)
