If Proof of Noah Were Found, it Would be Suppressed. But Why?

 

“And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5

“And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” Luke 17: 26

Every few years we hear of researchers who claim to have found evidence of Noah's Ark.  There is initial excitement, especially with Christians seeking evidence of the cataclysm described in the Bible and the prophet who preserved land-dwelling creatures.  Eventually, the story fades away in the public's consciousness. Yet...what if it were proven to be true? Would there be disclosure?

I know the term "disclosure" is generally associated with extraterrestrial encounters and such, and the powers-that-be trying to suppress knowledge, but would it be any different if proof of Noah were found?  I attempt to deal with such a finding in my novel "The Destiny of Our Past" ( Amazon:   Destiny of Our Past ).  In the novel, a young expert on ancient languages is contacted by a member of, what is learnt later to be a powerful secret society, who have obtained a record that needs her expertise at translating. She later finds out the record is off a computer disc found on a spacecraft that crashed into Siberia in 1908. Not alien...rather, built by a human civilisation 12.5 thousand years earlier. And no, it is not a novel about Noah, it is about the society in existence when he was alive, written by a medical investigator seeking answers to a crime spree within elite bloodline families.

Enough of the novel. You can check it out at the link.  What is a question to be asked is what would happen if the acount in Genesis were proven to be factual?  Who would benefit from non-disclosure?  Let us explore that.

First, it might be understandable that governments, and the interests that control them, would want total non-disclosure. Governments, particularly in the west, have done everything in their power to erase Christianity.  Almost all nature shows for kids have a mention of evolution. Why is that really necessary? Does it build on a child's appreciation of, let's say, the life of a toad? Then, in school, it goes full speed at breaking their faith in religion. In history class, students are indoctrinated on the "evils" of the Crusades, in biology classes evolution cannot be questioned, and even in civics everything bad about American or European culture is stressed.  In entertainment, you know that if a religious character is in a plot, they will be the ones to look out for.  The anti-Christian bias is extreme and not letting up.

So imagine if proof were found of Noah, would one really expect these entities to be excited that they were wrong, or that their agenda was wrong? The foundations of so many power structures would be brought into question. So no, everything to assign it to memory hole (to borrow a term from George Orwell) would be employed.

Second, What of its impact on religion? You might think it would be positive and be met with rejoicing. At first, maybe. The problem, as the main character from the secret society explains to the translator who she demands keep quiet, is that who would have claim to Noah? Christians, Jews and Muslims all believe in Noah.  The initial excitement might be met with a zealousness that would lead to increased tension and even wars between the various factions.  

Third, what if we find out Noah's time period really was at least as advanced, if not more so, than we are today? Every time line, every archeological assumption, every theory of human development would be destroyed.  One might see a mad rush to find any technology (in Antarctica, for instance, buried under ice and sediment) that could be adapted for use in modern weapons. Germany in the 1930s sent expedintions all over the world to find such technology, and some claim they found examples, but a highly financed effort with modern tools might find way more (if they already haven't). 

My novel is about what society might look like if we continue to advance in biotechnology and what the ruling elite might use this knowledge for.  One way or another, whether we are repeating a history that we have all but forgotten, or if we are embarking on a journey for the first time, the implications would change our values, yes, but also what it means to be a biological human.  It is not a question of "if" but rather "when" we truly master the code of life.
