Default 4000-year-old tablet contains story of Noah

A British scholar has found that a 4,000-year-old cuneiform tablet from what is now Iraq contains a story similar to the biblical account of Noah’s Ark.

Although the 4000 year carbon dating is a round estimate, it would be only an approximate 360 years after the flood.
