Beginning of the chapter

2018-06-28 22:24:38 UTC  

Ok thanks I’ll dig that up lol

2018-06-28 22:24:59 UTC  

But that’s like Genesis 1 in their prayer.

2018-06-28 22:25:11 UTC  

There's an OLD poem known to this day with the Miao people, an ethnic minority

2018-06-28 22:25:42 UTC  

Biologically they're the same as Han, Zhuang etc. But they have different social traditions and still live in a primitive way

2018-06-28 22:25:52 UTC  

They're extremely hospitable though

2018-06-28 22:26:18 UTC  

In the poem, it specifically tells the creation story, flood story, and tower

2018-06-28 22:26:52 UTC  

Oh wow

2018-06-28 22:27:02 UTC  

At their funerals they read the deceased's genealogy. All the way back to Adam.

2018-06-28 22:27:03 UTC  

Yeah I’d like to see that if you have it.

2018-06-28 22:27:23 UTC  

In their flood story it's very specific. Noah and 40 days

2018-06-28 22:27:50 UTC  

Yeah that’s interesting.

2018-06-28 22:28:51 UTC  

Miao didnt write it down. You'd have to ask them yourself

2018-06-28 22:29:57 UTC  

They do elaborate on some things not recorded in the Bible, at least not that I remember

2018-06-28 22:30:13 UTC  

They specify at the tower, the world was divided into six languages

2018-06-28 22:30:35 UTC  

It's certainly possible, and then those six evolved and split into many more

2018-06-28 22:31:54 UTC  

Well damn. So it’s an oral only then?

2018-06-28 22:32:13 UTC  

Yep

2018-06-28 22:32:27 UTC  

They were saying it before the Bible was even written

2018-06-28 22:32:28 UTC  

Well that sucks lol. Make them write it down 🤣

2018-06-28 22:32:40 UTC  

Yeah. Which is very interesting.

2018-06-28 22:32:55 UTC  

Oh you could just ask them. They're really friendly

2018-06-28 22:33:10 UTC  

Yeah. But that means going to China 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣

2018-06-28 22:33:22 UTC  

If you showed up in a Miao village they would all beg you to come stay at their house and feed you

2018-06-28 22:34:14 UTC  

in their version, did the Flood happen because of the Watchers' presence on earth

2018-06-28 22:34:31 UTC  

or rather, a reason for the Flood

2018-06-28 22:35:43 UTC  

It gives a reason yes

2018-06-28 22:35:58 UTC  

Didn't do God's will or return God's affection

2018-06-28 22:36:06 UTC  

Fought with each other

2018-06-28 22:36:17 UTC  

so it isn't super specific

2018-06-28 22:36:20 UTC  

i wanted to hear their take on

2018-06-28 22:36:23 UTC  

the nephilim and stuff

2018-06-28 22:36:23 UTC  

lol

2018-06-28 22:36:59 UTC  

it is very interesting that they talk of the Deluge though

2018-06-28 22:37:13 UTC  

It's an oral tradition

2018-06-28 22:37:23 UTC  

Actually I'm not even sure they CAN write

2018-06-28 22:37:40 UTC  

Literacy in China is like 92%

2018-06-28 22:37:46 UTC  

That is pretty cool though. Those similarities.

2018-06-28 22:38:01 UTC  

Thanks to 400,000+ characters

2018-06-28 22:38:32 UTC  

yea that'd be a lot to learn

2018-06-28 22:39:14 UTC  

The bitch of it is, they are heiroglyphics. There is absolutely no way to determine the sounds from reading. It's all memorization
