But that’s like Genesis 1 in their prayer.
There's an OLD poem known to this day with the Miao people, an ethnic minority
Biologically they're the same as Han, Zhuang etc. But they have different social traditions and still live in a primitive way
They're extremely hospitable though
In the poem, it specifically tells the creation story, flood story, and tower
Oh wow
At their funerals they read the deceased's genealogy. All the way back to Adam.
Yeah I’d like to see that if you have it.
In their flood story it's very specific. Noah and 40 days
Yeah that’s interesting.
Miao didnt write it down. You'd have to ask them yourself
They do elaborate on some things not recorded in the Bible, at least not that I remember
They specify at the tower, the world was divided into six languages
It's certainly possible, and then those six evolved and split into many more
Well damn. So it’s an oral only then?
Yep
They were saying it before the Bible was even written
Well that sucks lol. Make them write it down 🤣
Yeah. Which is very interesting.
Oh you could just ask them. They're really friendly
If you showed up in a Miao village they would all beg you to come stay at their house and feed you
in their version, did the Flood happen because of the Watchers' presence on earth
or rather, a reason for the Flood
It gives a reason yes
Didn't do God's will or return God's affection
Fought with each other
so it isn't super specific
i wanted to hear their take on
the nephilim and stuff
lol
it is very interesting that they talk of the Deluge though
It's an oral tradition
Actually I'm not even sure they CAN write
Literacy in China is like 92%
That is pretty cool though. Those similarities.
Thanks to 400,000+ characters
yea that'd be a lot to learn
The bitch of it is, they are heiroglyphics. There is absolutely no way to determine the sounds from reading. It's all memorization
Sometimes, but not always, you can determine meaning
田 is a field for example.
