Before the Storm, After the Storm (The Flood of Noah)

•  The significance of the Flood of Noah in the history of mankind is unmatched by any other event. One of the signs of this is that there are traditions related to it in every ancient civilization and religion of the world. If the hero of the storm of the Sumerian civilization is "Zeus Dra", then in the Babylonian civilization "Atrahisis." May this storm be the common heritage of all humanity and may every generation be affected by these traditions.

 

• In the case of the three divine religions, the same person is Noah (peace be upon him). The Jews have different traditions about the Prophet Noah (PBUH) apart from the flood, but the Sumerian civilization of Mesopotamia (Iraq) is said to be the oldest civilization in the world in terms of writing and which is generally regarded as It is also considered the founder of the art of writing. The calendar used to determine the date is very simple. "Before the storm, after the storm." Prior to the storm, they claimed that the center of the kingdom was the city of Arido, where the kingdom lasted for thousands of years and then moved to a city called "Baratbar or Bad Tabaria".
• It remained there for thousands of years and the center of the kingdom became the city called "Larak", it remained there for thousands of years and then the center of the kingdom became the city called "Spar", the kingdom moved from Spar to "Shrupok" and remained here for thousands of years. Till the "storm" came. In all, the period of the kingdom in these five cities is 241,200 years.
• When the kingdom descended from the sky after the storm, the city of Kish became its center instead of Arido. The kings were getting younger and it moved to different cities of Sumer. About 134 kings whose reign is said to be more than 28876 years. This list of Sumerian kings gives us the address of a human race that is millions of years older than any careful estimate! And this earliest generation, whether advanced in the field of science or not, was second to none in the field of ethics.
• A Sumerian tablet, dated to about two and a half thousand to three thousand BC, which is considered to be the oldest inscription in the world, gives us a description of the instructions or wills which are Before the storm, Sherupok, the father of Zeusudra, gives him the last command of Sherupok. 
• Where there is a glimpse of the past in these admonitions, there are chapters of wisdom which, if considered even today, give a wonderful kind of spiritual bliss and understanding. Zeusdra is also the hero of the story of the storm in the Sumerian civilization which the gods save from a great storm. Zeusudra means long-lived or long-lived. ”Surprisingly, this is also the meaning of the name of Prophet Noah (peace be upon him). But for now, we read these tips without finalizing the personality.
• "In those days, in ancient times, in those very ancient nights, in those years, in those ancient years, when a wise man who knew how to speak in words of advice lived on earth. Shrupok Dana, who knew how to speak in a counseling manner. Sherupok advised his son.
• The son of Sherupok "Obara-Tutu" advised his son "Zeusudra". My son, give me advice. You pay attention, let me advise you, you should listen carefully. Don't ignore my advice. Don't forget the words I am about to say to you. The advice of a weak person is very valuable and you should follow it.
• Do not plow the field on the way, do not plow the field on the way. Do not build a well in your field or people will become your worst enemy. Not building a house at the crossroads will be an obstacle in the way. Do not guarantee anyone, that servant will control you, and do not take bail from anyone, that servant will deceive you. Don't stand where there is a quarrel, don't be a witness to a quarrel, and don't confuse yourself in a quarrel. Don't cause an argument. Avoid quarrels and change course if you fear humiliation.
• Never steal anything. Don't put yourself to death. Do not break into anyone's home by force. A thief is like a lion, but when he is caught, he is made a slave. (This indicates that the punishment of the thief was probably to enslave him in the Sumerian nation at that time. According to another translation, "The thief is like a dragon but when caught he becomes like a slave)."
• My son Do not plunder, do not put yourself to death with an ax (That is, you can be killed with an ax during or after this punishment). Don't go after a young married woman, it can have bad consequences. My son, never be alone with a married woman.
• Don't lower yourself by being quarrelsome. Do not lie, do not be arrogant. Then your words will be reliable. Don't plan evil, heavy sight will be unbearable (point to sight). Never eat stolen food with anyone. Don't talk deceptively, it will eventually become a trap for you.
• Do not contaminate your hands with blood unjustly. Don't say that, it will be a trap for you. Do not graze your sheep in unknown pastures. Don't travel at night, it has both good and evil hidden in it. Don't have sex with a slave girl, she will squeeze you (according to another translation, "she will ignore you"). Don't curse anyone, it will come back to haunt you. Whatever you throw at someone will be thrown at you (you will fill as you do).
• Don't get rid of any debtor, he will become your enemy. Not having a home with an arrogant person will make your life like the life of a slave. (If you do that) you will not be able to come anywhere, except that (towards you) voices will be raised that he has gone, he has come. (That is, you will be constantly monitored). My son Don't use harshness. Do not disrespect someone's daughter's honor otherwise the courtyard will know her (ie you will be infamous). Do not kill a powerful person, never tear down your wall, do not beat a young servant away from the city.
• The eyes of the wicked are always rolling like a spindle. Don't bargain when you're on the battlefield. Don't grow up like boastful eaters in bars. When you reach the age of masculinity, don't jump on your hands? The warrior is unique, he alone is heavy on many. Ato (the name of a deity) is unique, he alone is heavy on many. Supporting fighters all your life, supporting Ato all your life.
• The second part of the advice further states: "Palaces are like a big river with a piercing bull (like) in the middle, their income is unmatched but their expenses are not going to end (here palace means probably houses as much as You will spend, the expenses will not be met and whatever is spent outside the house will not come back.
• When it comes to someone else's property, it's easy to say, "I'll give it to you, but in reality such charity is as far away as the sky." If you go after a servant who claims, "I will give it to you," then he will say, "I cannot give, because the bread has just run out." (That is, do not give alms on someone's property. If you promise alms to someone on the basis of someone else's property, then the one whom you have promised to give, when you go to get it from him, he will say: Wealth is gone).
• A beautiful tongue recites, a bitter tongue causes bitterness, a sweet tongue gathers flowers. Strong people avoid anyone. Fools fall asleep and then cry out, "Don't bind me, let me live." (That is, do not sleep in a state of negligence, otherwise thieves and robbers will enter). Ignorant people (in their knowledge) decide the fate. Shameless self-promotion for Ballistic Products and a great bargain on a neat little knife for you. Is a weak wife always at the mercy of fate?
• If you hire someone, he will eat bread with you, he will eat bread with you until your bag is empty, and then he will quit his job and say, “I want to live. There is something to be done, ”and then he will take a job at the palace. (The meaning of this advice that I have come to understand is that the self-willed employee walks with you as long as you are rich and as soon as he runs out of wealth he goes elsewhere)
• Your son will demand the whole house but the daughter will have only one woman's room. (The meaning of this phrase is not clear. It is probably a matter of property and daughter is being praised). Don't make a decision while intoxicated. Don't worry about the thing that left the house. Heaven is far away, earth is precious but it is heaven which doubles the fruit of your deeds and all the earth breathe with its blessings. In the time of harvest, O my son! Work like a slave, eat like a queen, work like a slave, eat like a queen, look! To do so (That is, as hard as you plow the land today, you will sit and eat in comfort).
• Humiliation only harms the body, but greedy eyes can kill (a sign of disdain, perhaps). The liar also tears his clothes while shedding tears (an attribute of liars is being used to emphasize his plot). Arrogant talk is like fire or like an herb that upsets the stomach (surprisingly the Sumerians knew the effect of arrogant talk on the stomach!). Words of prayer bring happiness, prayer is like cold water that cools the hearts, but bad prayers and foolish talk is something that the people of the country should avoid. The third time more advice is given:
• "Don't kill a farmer's son. He will ruin the irrigation system." Don't buy a prostitute, she is like a mouth with sharp teeth (ie, the prostitute eats all the wealth). Destiny is like a slippery slope, anyone can slip. Your elder brother is like a father and your elder sister is like a mother. So listen to your older brother and be as obedient to your older sister as you are to your mother. Do not work with your eyes only, nor can you increase your wealth by mere words. The lazy man sinks his house. If it is a village, he provides calves for the chief, but the big city also provides him with a palace.
• The married servant is rich and the bed of the unmarried servant is like a bed of grass (thorns). If one wants to build a house, one can do it. If one wants to destroy it, one can destroy it. Just as you cross the river holding the neck of a big bull, so will your honor increase with a powerful servant of the city. When you buy a slave girl from the mountain, she brings good and evil with her. His goodness is in his hands and his evil is in his heart (hidden). The heart is like the ocean (in which all kinds of living things are) the heart never loses its goodness nor is it ever cleansed from evil.
• Let the wicked sink, including the ark. A heart full of love builds a family, a heart full of hatred destroys a family. Strength and perseverance are the sacred abilities of princes. Be obedient to the honorable, be humble before the mighty (command means maybe). My son Then you will be able to fight against the unbelievers. Don't choose a woman as your wife during a fair stall (because) her appearance is artificial and her inner self is artificial. The silver she is wearing is borrowed, the lapis lazuli she is wearing is borrowed, her jewelry is borrowed, her dress is borrowed. His stick dress is borrowed. (Marriage to a woman on the street is forbidden)
• The man chooses a good woman like a fertile field. A woman who has her own property destroys the house (probably out of arrogance over her property). Alcohol destroys crops. Nothing is more important than life, don't serve things but things should serve you (break the materialism five thousand years ago today!). Don't imprison your wife, don't make her cry. Don't kill, it's a child born (...) Don't kill (...) Don't tie.
• Breastfeeding women decide the fate of the master in the cells. Don't talk to your mother in a blasphemous tone, it will cause you to hate. Don't question your mother and God's words. The mother gives birth to a man like Ato, and the father nurtures him like God. The father is like the master, his words are reliable. Its instructions should be followed.
