The Atheists' Timeline?

[naomi24]

4500 BCE Sumerians invent glue and beer.

4000 BCE god creates the universe.

2600 BCE The Egyptian third dynasty starts building pyramids.

2500 BCE god floods the world and kills everyone but 8 people.

2400 BCE The Egyptian third dynasty is still building pyramids, apparently not realizing there was a flood and that they are, in fact, dead.

(From the internet). :o)

Never mind them Sumerians (thansk for the beer) Its obvious that the Egyptians must have invented the aqualung - Jaques Cousteau must have ed the idea.

///4500 BCE Sumerians invent glue and beer.///

Ok, I have no problem with that.

///4000 BCE god creates the universe.///

That is most probably Bible story and I do not believe in that.

///2600 BCE The Egyptian third dynasty starts building pyramids.///

Have no problem with that.

///2500 BCE god floods the world and kills everyone but 8 people.///

Again Bible story and do not believe in that. Floods were there but most probably localised.

///2400 BCE The Egyptian third dynasty is still building pyramids, apparently not realizing there was a flood and that they are, in fact, dead.///

No problem with that either as my post above confirms more or less that too.

What foresight them Egyptians must have had, to built pyramids in case of flood then to use the ark to cap them off . . . evidently. But then any one with enough ingenuity could built a pyramid. To built a universe . . . why that takes glue and beer!

[wildwood]

All I can say is that Noah,s tribe must have been very busy shagging their kinfolk.

[Mosaic]

All I can say to your chronology is no, no and no archaeologically.
You need to attend my classes......
9000 BCE large ritual structures (Gobekli Tepe) and town-like settlements (Catal huyuk) appearing in southern Turkey as far as the current excavtion record shows.
Egyptian dynasties have begun by 3100BCE with 'Scorpion' and 'Narmer' - little other than their names known securely, from excavated written evidence.
Pyramid building continues until the end of the 12th Dynasty / Middle Kingdom about 1900 BCE

Don't believe everything you read on page one of a google search.

[Mosaic]

BTW, I have atheist writ through me like Blackpool rock.

[jomifl]

Were the sumarians trying to make beer when they accidentaly made glue or were they trying to make glue and discovered beer? Either way congratulations as the Irish (bless them) finally managed a combination of glue and beer.

What the devil is or was The Common Era?

[Mosaic]

Point of order m'learned friend - the earliest intoxicants are thought to have been closer to porridge than carlsberg. They were probably enjoying being sh-faced when they found they could make bread.
A scene in the first 'Conan the barbarian' reflects this, which is why I respect many aspects of the film's archaeological detail.

[Mosaic]

Daisy, common era is just another way of saying Ad. I use it t wind up Daily mail readers.

[naomi24]

Oh Mosaic! Honestly! Anyone can do better than 4500BCE! The Sumerians were CIVILISED by then wasn't they?! They were already inventing beer for goodness sake - and science like that doesn't happen in the blink of an eye you know!

Waddaya mean //Don't believe everything you read on page one of a google search.//? Doesn't everyone? :o/

:o)))

[DTCwordfan]

Which year or century did they build the first golf course?

[naomi24]

Stop being so damned lazy, DT. First page of a google search will tell you. ;o)

[DaisyNonna]

Mosaic that is not an answer. Why bother to wind up Daily Mail readers? They have their own problems. Do not think I have ever read it after the first time.
Have decided (no rational explanations being offered) that the Common Era is a polite way of saying the Crude Eavesdropper.

[DTCwordfan]

so what does BCE mean when it comes to golf? - Before Chipped Els?

[naomi24]

Daisy, BCE means Before Common Era. It replaces BC (Before Christ) and is in fairly common usage now.

[sandyRoe]

political correctness gawn mad^

[starone]

Don't think I want to be classed with the Common Era. I don't feel common. In fact according to scientists I am unique and there is no-one else quite like me. And don't think I didn't hear you muttering 'good - couldn't put up with another like her'. My hearing is reasonable.
