Discoveries of Ancient Artifacts and Other Documentation
A large number of archaeological discoveries have been made recently concerning ancient man. We are using the title "ancient man" to include people from Creation to the Global Flood as well as to describe man after the Global Flood but only so far in time since the Flood. Some have said that man only became advanced some 600 years ago and all the major discoveries we enjoy today have only been made since that time frame; an idea I am not so sure of. Are we to say that we did not have so called "modern times" before the era of 1400 AD? Some think we went through a span of time where mankind declined technologically and scientifically in between so called "modern times." There is evidence that man may have been quite advanced in the "ancient past" than we are led to believe through secular worldviews. Those ideas that mankind was primitive and became advanced only in the last 600 years are fantasies in the mind of secularists that do not have a Biblical Worldview and that comes mainly through the teaching of evolution. Evolution teaches that early man was primitive and we have only advanced recently!? Add in millions of years and you have the whole package of evolution. Is it really true or are we being deceived?
Refer to the page titled "Age Chart - Adam to Joseph" in this website. Note the particularly long life spans recorded in Genesis. If you have have landed on this page for the first time, if you desire, refer to the first page titled "Biblical Overview of Origins" for an explanation concerning the longevity of the antediluvian patriarchs. Whether you choose to believe Scripture is correct or not about those long ages, let us analyze what could have happened if people had lived that long for several centuries before their total destruction from the Global Flood (Genesis 6-9). How would we describe these people? Start with extreme health. Coupled with extreme health, how about an excellently functioning mind? How about having many children? A large enough population is necessary to advance quickly. Couple a substantial population with a superior intellect, and you have the potential for success to advance scientifically and technologically. I previously discussed some of these ideas in the page titled "The Antediluvian and Postdiluvian World." One last thought - man continued slowly declining (DNA) right after the Global Flood and technology was lost and was corrupted via sin as well.
Archaeological discoveries have been made that indicate that man was advanced postdiluvian. It is possible evidence could substantiate that advanced technology existed antediluvian because some discoveries of OOParts have been made in digs that appear like they could have only been deposited in the layers caused by the Global Flood of Genesis 6-9. I have to leave it up to the experts to describe the discoveries in the reference material I have provided at the end of this page. If you choose to pursue this in greater detail as I have, you may arrive at the conclusion that we are not so unusually advanced today as much as we thought - and even the antediluvian era could have been a lot farther advanced than we could imagine! Definitely, the clues, documentation and discoveries seem to clearly point to the not so primitive postdiluvian man and maybe these non-primitive men inherited their science and technology from the antediluvians? Check out the page titled "OOParts." If you want more detailed information, the books and websites I list below can give it to you.
It is impossible to list all the discoveries in this page since the quantity is large. I am listing the categories of discoveries and some documentation. Some detail may be provided with each list, but not too much. The books and websites below can be accessed for detailed information as desired.
