Kazuro Mori's "The Ark That Was Hijacked: The Drama Around Mount Ararat" Summary and Impressions - Noah's Ark was born from the "Epic of Gilgamesh"! A book to learn about the Armenian Genocide as well.
We are pleased to present "The Ark That Was Hijacked: The Drama Surrounding Mount Ararat" by Kazuro Mori, published by Torikagesha in 2019.
Let's take a quick look at the book.
The mass media is now in charge of politics, but the more it emphasizes formal justice in an attempt to pander to the masses, the more the masses feel as if they too are on the side of justice, and while intoxicated with goodness, they lose sight of reality and make bad judgments. This is the perfect breeding ground for the monotheism. At present, the Japanese people's confusion is confined to the inner spirit, but if it spills over into politics, economics, and diplomacy, what awaits them will be a national catastrophe. Mount Ararat has been Armenia's sacred mountain since ancient times. This film depicts the tragedy of a people without a nation, who cannot mourn the genocide because it has been turned into Turkish territory.

The book will be a work about the Armenian tragedy of Mount Ararat, the sacred mountain of the Armenians, which is now Turkish territory.
As you will see in this table of contents, the first part of the book discusses Mount Ararat and Christianity, and the second part discusses the history of the Armenian genocide by the Turks.
As someone who has always wanted to learn more about Armenian history and culture, I really appreciated this book, which allowed me to learn about this in one book.
In this article, I would like to introduce the "Noah's Ark and the 'Epic of Gilgamesh,'" one of the most memorable of these.
Mount Ararat, mentioned earlier, is a holy place among holy places, known as the place where "Noah's Ark" drifted ashore in the Old Testament.
But the story of "Noah's Ark" is actually a Sumerian myth of the Mesopotamian civilization that flourished around 3000 to 2600 BC.The Epic of Gilgamesh.The book tells the amazing story of how it was inspired by the Let's take a look at that part of the book. It will be a bit long, but it is an important issue, so we will read it carefully.
The story of the Flood of Noah's Ark is well known to non-Christians, but we may think it is just a myth.
However, many Christians, especially Americans, seem to take it as historical fact. Since the Bible is a verbatim account of the words heard from God, it is impossible for a fictitious story to get mixed in there. No, Noah's Ark is still on the small scale, and more than half of Americans believe that the infinite universe itself is the creation of God. In 2003, a computer website that solicited votes from around the world conducted a survey asking whether the world was created by God or the Big Bang, and the percentage of Americans who favored creation by God was outstandingly high, at 58%.
Thus, if one believes that God created the world, it would be natural to assume that he is also capable of destroying it. It would not take much psychological resistance to read the Old Testament account of Noah and his family escaping into the ark and being saved, even though God sent a great flood that wiped out the human race.
Let us now look at how Noah's Ark and the Flood are described in the Bible.
In the sixth chapter of the Book of Genesis, we read: "And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was in the earth. - "And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was in the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were evil all the time. And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was troubled, and he said, 'Let the man that I have created be wiped from the earth.'"
He quietly told only Noah, an exceptionally good man among human beings, and gave him special advice: "I will soon bring a great flood that will destroy mankind, and you must build an ark and board it now with your family. Noah did as he was told, and the story of how he and his family survived the destruction of mankind is so well known that it is needless to dwell on it.
However, something happened out of the blue that even God could not have predicted. Because human beings ate the fruit of the tree of wisdom, which God had forbidden, they became overly wise, and by the nineteenth century, science had come to walk by itself, leaving God behind.
Various sciences developed in competition with each other.gullible (person)Archaeology, which belonged to the category of "archaeology," was also added to the list. The techniques of excavating remains buried deep in the earth and revealing the writing on clay tablets and parchment found there were rapidly developing.
And finally, the time to come had arrived.
In 1872, George Smith, who worked at the British Museum in London and could read cuneiform inscriptions on clay tablets quite well, made a startling discovery while examining a clay tablet document from the royal archives of Nineveh, the ancient Assyrian capital. In the eleventh edition of what later became known as the "Epic of Gilgamesh," he found a text that closely resembled the biblical account of Noah's ark in every detail.
When Smith presented his findings to the Society for Biblical Archaeology, he understandably caused a sensation. Christians in the West, who had previously believed that the Bible was the written word of God, would have been astonished to learn that one of the Bible's most famous episodes was found in a seed book.

The Bible was also written by borrowing various motifs from former religions." This is a very important point in considering what religion is in the first place.
In this book, we will look at the Bible and the "Epic of Gilgamesh" in detail. There are some very interesting things in the book, which I can't show you in this article. This book has made me very interested in the "Epic of Gilgamesh" and Sumerian culture.
