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

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

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.

人 is person

yea, ik about the lack of sound

which means diff areas of china can pronounce it drastically different ways, and they may not understand one another

but the writing is uniform

Yup

Japanese use the same characters, same meanings, completely different sounds

Chinese is a tonal language. The pronunciation of a word changes the meaning

And the character

马妈 are both ma. First is horse, second is mom

The second one is made of woman + horse

What horse has to do with motherhood, no idea

吗 is mouth + horse...and it basically means question mark

Most Western inventions don't even have a word. Like helicopter, computer, etc

Helicopter = 直升机 = direct rise machine

Doesn’t Japanese use modern western words instead of making up their own too?
