There is a legend about the birth of Noah

THE BIRTH OF NOAH


Methuselah took a wife for his son Lamech, and she bore him a man child.

The body of the babe was white as snow and red as a blooming rose, and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes like the rays of the sun.

When he opened his eyes, he lighted up the whole house, like the sun, and the whole house was very full of light.

And when he was taken from the hand of the midwife, he opened his mouth and praised the Lord of righteousness.

His father Lamech was afraid of him, and fled, and came to his own father Methuselah. And he said to him: "I have begotten a strange son; he is not like a human being, but resembles the children of the angels of heaven, and his nature is different, and he is not like us, and his eyes are as the rays of the sun, and his countenance is glorious.

And it seems to me that he is not sprung from me, but from the angels, and I fear that in his days a wonder may be wrought on the earth.
And now, my father, I am here to petition thee and implore thee, that thou mayest go to Enoch, our father, and learn from him the truth, for his dwelling place is among the angels."


And when Methuselah heard the words of his son, he went to Enoch, to the ends of the earth, and he cried aloud, and Enoch heard his voice, and appeared before him, and asked him the reason of his coming.

Methuselah told him the cause of his anxiety, and requested him to make the truth known to him. Enoch answered, and said: "The Lord will do a new thing in the earth. There will come a great destruction on the earth, and a deluge for one year. This son who is born unto thee will be left on the earth, and his three children will be saved with him, when all mankind that are on the earth shall die.

And there will be a great punishment on the earth, and the earth will be cleansed from all impurity. And now make known to thy son Lamech that he who was born is in truth his son, and call his name Noah, for he will be left to you, and he and his children will be saved from the destruction which will come upon the earth." When Methuselah had heard the words of his father, who showed him all the secret things, he returned home, and he called the child Noah, for he would cause the earth to rejoice in compensation for all destruction.

And in the book 'AN HISTORICAL TREATISE OF THE TRAVELS OF NOAH INTO Europe' it suggests that Noah was a Benevolent Giant (very tall ), this would also explain Tartaria and their buidings as in the book it also mentions that Noah & his sons were in Tartaria.

God's Word, the bible, says nothing about how tall Noah was, nothing about Enoch telling Methuselah that Lamech's son Noah and his children would be saved from destruction, and nothing about Noah and his sons being in Tartaria. I strongly urge you to rely on the bible for such things. There are all sorts of myths and legends around the world, but why believe them rather than God's Word?

How tall Noah is unknown. However, the ark was only so big to fit Noah, his family, and all the critters in. So he couldn't have been some massively tall giant.

Trouble these days is that there is too much speculataion. People should just take the Word of God as it is written without adding or subtracting anything.

I would question the accuracy and integrity of your extra-biblical source. I know that Jude supposedly cited the "Book of Enoch" or whatever but we still do not know the historical source and such was not part of the Jewish canon. All we have to go with is the authority and sufficiency of the scriptures and this is the verse that is typically cited in regards to "Giants" during the days of Noah:

Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Some speculate that these "Giants" are the result of fallen angels cohabitating and copulating with human women but I disagree with this. I am not dogmatic about this but it seems that "Giant" may not be referring to physical stature but more mental and intellectual (men of old, men of renown).

Note that in these days, men living over 900 years was not uncommon. Think about how a human mind would develop over such a time span especially if one retained their mental acuity for the majority of such a long life? We know nothing regarding the technology or knowledge that existed during this antediluvian period although Gen 4:17-22 leads us to believe that they certainly had an intelligent and well-developed society.

What strikes me is how long such men had lived and rejected God's common grace as well as God's revelation of himself through his creation, through their conscience, and through the direct revelation of those "Walked with God" from Adam to Noah! I believe they have a far greater damnation that a man who lives into his 80s and then dies in his sins!

There is an hypothesis that the Lake Van civilisation were the first peoples who rose from Noah. Lake Van is in eastern Turkey and not far from Mt Ararat.

There is also evidence for tracing particular cultural practices and tech that comes out from this region and spreading throughout the world. In fact there is also genetic evidence for the same people from this area in places like Peru which is 1,000s of miles awy and happens to have similar tech and knowledge.

The Lake Van peoples are said to have had great knowledge and are regarded as the people coming after tyhe great flood by many cultures though they are not called the same name.

Its certainly an interesting idea. Considering that we should be able to trace the rebirth of people from Noah we should be able to find archeological evidence for this in the works created by these cultures and their common tech and stories if its based on real events.

I would imagine that there should be evidence of the rise of a legendary people from around the place where Noah landed. They would not have gone far. I remember some talk of particular areas where Noahs sons went and even some of the ancient names are similar to Noahs sons in their legends and name places.
