Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 11

  Short retelling of chapter 11 of the essay: Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian]  Chapter 11. ARARAT AND AKKAD According to Genesis, Noah’s ark comes to rest "in the mountains of Ararat." It is possible that Noah settles there after his miraculous survival. Initially, he lives in a tent, cultivates fields, grows grapes, and makes wine. The text states that from Noah’s sons, "the whole earth was repopulated." They disembark with "every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, everything that moves on the earth," giving rise to today’s diversity of terrestrial vertebrates—mammals, reptiles, and birds at minimum. However, no mention is made of other non-aquatic creatures like worms, mollusks, or arthropods, most of which likely perished in the floodwaters. At some point, Noah’s descendants migrate, though the origin and trigger for this movement a...
