minus-squareKevonLooney@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-211 days agoWas actually reading about this earlier. “Atra-Hasis” is the literary precursor to Noah. He saves people in the oldest flood myth (that we know of). So imagine this person is saying that Noah hung out with aliens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atra-Hasis Also, the myth doesn’t mention aliens at all.
