Thanks. That helped somewhat. I guess I'm just not comfortable with the whole
format. I was hoping to just read a summary like the book cover information
that appears under titles on Bookshare. This has all these partial opinions
that I have to search for and I guess I'm not interested in reading lots of
opinions about a book. That's why I don't read book reviews. But thank you
because you did make it more accessible.

I have no idea of why the Goodreads link didn't work unless you didn't use
heading navigation to check out the various sections of the page. That is why I
gave the link instead of copying the page, because Goodreads pages are divided
into various sections. They have always been pretty accessible for me and have
actually improved since I first started using it. But let me try copying and
pasting it anyway. I hope this copy job works. I think it would be better to
navigate through the actual page so that you can click the more buttons to see
full reviews and other additional information. But I will try pasting it below:

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken
up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth
forty days and forty nights.
The great Biblical flood so described in Genesis has long been a subject of
fascination and speculation. In the 19 In the six hundredth year of Noah's
life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were
all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were
opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
The great Biblical flood so described in Genesis has long been a subject of
fascination and speculation. In the 19th century the English archbishop James
Ussher established it as having happened in the year 2348 B.C., calculating
what was then taken as the age of the earth and working backward through the
entire series of Biblical "begats." Proof of the flood, which is an element of
so many creation myths, began in earnest when archaeology started connecting
physical evidence with Biblical story. The dream of proving the Bible as
literal truth has proven irresistible, producing both spurious claims and
serious scholarship.
As best-selling historian Ian Wilson reveals in this fascinating new book,
evidence of a catastrophic event has been building steadily, culminating in the
work of William Ryan and Walter Pitman. Several years ago Ryan and Pitman had
posited that around 5600 BC there had an inundation in the Black Sea of such
proportions that it turned the freshwater lake into a saltwater lake by
connecting it to the Mediterranean. Were that true, they estimated that there
would be signs of civilization 300 feet below the surface of the Black Sea. In
September 2000, using his famous underwater equipment, Robert Ballard (of SS
Titanic fame) explored parts of the Black Sea near the Turkish shore and found
the remains of wood houses. There had been a flood, and whether God's wrath or
not it had destroyed everything around it for hundreds of miles, killing tens
of thousands of people.
Exploring all the archeological evidence, Wilson explains how the Black Sea
flood and the Biblical flood have to be connected. In particular, Wilson
argues, learnedly and persuasively, that the center of the civilized world was
further to the West than previously thought-not in Egypt or Mesopotamia but in
what is today Northern Turkey.
The earliest, antediluvian civilizations may have migrated east into those
places we have come to call the cradles of civilization, forced by the Black
Sea flood to create new settlements.
Scrupulous in its details and compelling in its sweep, Before the Flood is
narrative detective history at its most provocative, contributing a vital new
chapter to the debate about the Bible and origins of the modern world.

Review This is a really fascinating book. The only reason I give it four
rather than five stars is that the author is a bit prone to jumping to
conclusions. He establishes very well that the Black Sea came into existence
about 7600 years ago when the Mediterranean Sea broke through the Bosporus and
catastrophically inundated a freshwater lake and a very large territory around
it. He also establishes that people were living there at the time who, if not
quite civilized, had many of the trappings of civi This is a really fascinating
book. The only reason I give it four rather than five stars is that the author
is a bit prone to jumping to conclusions. He establishes very well that the
Black Sea came into existence about 7600 years ago when the Mediterranean Sea
broke through the Bosporus and catastrophically inundated a freshwater lake and
a very large territory around it. He also establishes that people were living
there at the time who, if not quite civilized, had many of the trappings of
civilization such as domesticated livestock, cultivated crops and houses
instead of huts. All of this is pretty undeniable, but was this catastrophe the
genesis of the Noah's flood story? Well, the problem with legends is that they
are just that, legends. They do not have to be based on any real events and can
be just made up stories. Even when they are based on actual events, over many
generations and thousands of years of oral transmission by preliterate peoples,
they can mutate into something so distorted that they almost may as well be
made up stories. I think the author is jumping to conclusions to be so sure
that he has explained the origin of the Noah story. On the other hand, these
very similar flood stories are found so frequently among cultures emenating
from the Black Sea region that I think he is probably right anyway. He takes a
bigger leap with the ark. It is undoubtedly true that late stone age people
were capable of building boats, probably made of reed, that could have
transported livestock. There is too much evidence of such animals turning up on
far flung islands from that time to deny it even though no such boats survive.
But does that mean that a stone age resident of the Black Sea area loaded up
his livestock and family and escaped the flood that way spawning the story of
the ark? Well, there is absolutely no evidence of an event that specific and
could have happened does not mean did happen. I will agree, though, that it
could have happened. Throughout the book there are other examples of this
jumping to conclusions, but I will say that in setting up the factual premises
for these jumps he did cause me to learn a lot about archaeological discoveries
and the many solid inferences that have been made from them. Despite my
criticisms I assure you that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. ...more

First off, Ian Wilson has a delightfully nuanced brain. You know it's a good
time when you want to hold the book up afterwards and say 'I think he's on to
something.' The archeological evidence and his hypothesis mesh so seamlessly it
would be a shame to disprove his conclusions. What an intriguing book, and
he-he, not dry at all.

The author has a clear, elegant writing style that avoids overly-technical
jargon and repetitive waffling. Ideas are presented logically and there is a
clear differentiation between archaeological evidence, specialist
interpretation and author interpretation. There is no religion bashing and no
religion preaching in this book. All in all, a very nice archaeological
detective story.
NOTE: This edition of the book has the photographs and illustrations printed
very darkly, making it hard to determine some of the details. So if purchasing
this book, see if you can find another edition or look up the pictures on the
internet.

I very much enjoyed the book. It wasn't what I expected just from reading the
title. It was surprising in a good way. Ian Wilson attempts to describe the
Neolithic world in the region of the Black Sea around the 4th, 5th & 6th
millenea BCE. He relies heavily on the work of two researchers and several
archaeologists to build a case that this specific region was the seed of human
civilization, contrary to popular belief. The book was written 1 1/2 decades

two researchers and several archaeologists to build a case that this specific
region was the seed of human civilization, contrary to popular belief. The book
was written 1 1/2 decades ago and there is still an ongoing debate amongst
those in the know as to the severity of an event which Mr Wilson attributes to
the origin of the biblical Noah's Flood account. He suggests that with the
world coming out of the last Ice Age and sea levels rising, a very thin land
barrier between the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea suddenly burst and
caused the catastrophic flood.
Overall I enjoyed the book and feel a bit smarter because of it. I was given a
glimpse the world of archaeology and it's inner workings from debate to
exploration. Here is a very large caveat, however, after looking over some
other books he's written I'm afraid I may have been duped into thinking this
work was one of academic excellence. ...more

Ian Wilson's "Before the Flood", is a fascinating, if (in my opinion) flawed
book. It's well-written and researched but begins with a faulty premise - that
the world is a few billion years old and that the flood was local, not
worldwide. What is interesting, is that the book confirms the reality that a
massive flood did take place in the Black Sea region. Also, the book entertains
the belief that the cradle of civilization lies in, and around, what is
present-day Turkey. I didn't agree with ever Ian Wilson's "Before the Flood",

that the book confirms the reality that a massive flood did take place in the
Black Sea region. Also, the book entertains the belief that the cradle of
civilization lies in, and around, what is present-day Turkey. I didn't agree
with everything in this book but I believe that it's wise to sometimes read
contrary materials. In that way, you can contrast what you believe with what
you read and confirm your reasons for believing, all the while recognising that
other people have different beliefs. Included were some sketches and
photographs, but of the latter many were poorly reproduced, making it difficult
to determine the subject of the image. Finally, while the book clearly took a
stance against there being a worldwide flood, other parts of the book confirmed
what we already know about early cultures etc. from reading the Bible. Overall,
"Before the Flood" proved to be a dense but enjoyable book and I learned much
from reading it.

Ian Wilson jumps to some pretty startling conclusions in the later chapters of
his book; he even postulates that mother goddess worship spread from Anatolia
to as far west as Great Britain. However, his evidence for the Biblical flood

his evidence for the Biblical flood is overwhelming, along with his conclusions
about some of the other flood myths in religions that would have experienced a
similar event due to the rapid rise of sea-levels at the time. He provides
concrete evidence that collective memories are not always falsehoods, and
bridges the gap between science and religion on the topic. Of course the flood
story, taken literally today, would be impossible. But as an oral, and then
mythological history, the Biblical flood was a very real event. He also
provides an interesting take on the mother goddess cults of the region. He
calls modern historians out for assuming that these people had little contact
or trade, and says that instead there was a multitude of goods, ideas, and of
course religion exchanged from as early as humans were sedentary. Overall, this
was a fantastic slimming down of scientific research for the masses, and while
some of the implications Wilson draws from it are a stretch, most of his ideas
are well-founded in his immense body of research. ...more

Everyone is pretty much familiar with the flood story from Genesis with Noah
and his ark, but did you know the Bible isn’t the only text to have a flood
myth within its pages? There are flood myths from ancient Greece, Persia,
India, even as far as Scandinavia and South America. How do I know this?

Because I have read Before the Flood.
Ian Wilson takes a step into the ancient and prehistoric with this book,
delving into the past no one is quite sure about; where historical fact begins
to blur and fictional theory sharpens. Wilson has done plenty of research (the
lengthy bibliography vouches for this) into the many different flood myths
scattered across the world to write this unique book, where they all come
together. He presents it in a logical manner, also revealing some contemporary
flood myths that were perpetuated by ignorant scientists.
What is important is that Wilson treats the flood as a real event that
happened, which is not surprising, since there are all these stories about it.
But he backs all his ideas and premises with scientific research that make them
more believable. Back when Genesis was written, there was no technology to
validate the flood, but now Wilson has proven we are at a time to accept that a
catastrophic flood of some sort did occur some ten thousand years ago.

Much like 1421 - a lot is speculation and no one really know where the ark came
to rest, where the flood happenend, and where the people went afterward. so
spend hours reading for a result without serious scientific answer.

just a story. Before the Flood explores not just the Bible, but flood stories
from all over the world.
