f this happened, it could have inspired the story of Noah's Flood but it doesn't agree with the Biblical narrative that the Ark landed at high altitude on Mt. Ararat.
That is easily explained in the sense that we are looking at two different genealogies; Joseph's genealogy in Matthew and Mary's in Luke.
All you need is faith in Jesus. The Bible can't save anyone.
Luk 3:23 Jesus was about thirty years old when He began his ministry. He was the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,Except they are both explicitly said to be through Joseph. So that won't work.

Perhaps the phrase "as was supposed" gives us a way to consider that Heli was actually Mary's father, Joseph's father-in law.
I was looking at some ruins in South America, some in Middle East, and some in Asia that are all very ancient and all have very similar design. Puma Punku, and things like that. I think there is a possibility these ruins and many others around the world may have been built before the flood. Baalbek is another example.
The problem with that, is the pyramids in S. America were built in historical times. The people who built them, had written records of such things.
And of course, if you want to build really tall stone buildings,it turns out that a pyramid is the most efficient and stable way to do it.
The Mayans and Toltec had written records yes. But I was thinking of the Inca. When the Spaniards arrived they marvelled at the structures they assumed the Inca had built. But an Incan king admitted they didn't build them. He said giants built them a long time ago and the Inca just moved into the ruins.
The Britons had the same stories about Stonehenge and other neolithic monuments. Neolithic people were no less intelligent than we are, and were capable of remarkable feats of engineering.
I'd like to hear more about that Andean harbor. Got any links?
It's noteworthy that before the climate changing drought that apparently caused the city to be abandoned, Lake Titicaca extended to Tiwanaku. So that would explain boat slips.
It seems theres contention about the date of the Tower of Babel and most scholars make it around being constructed between 3500–3000 BC.It is generally agreed that Abraham lived around 2,000 BC (or about 4,000 years ago). Archaeologists and historians tell us that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was built around 2,500 BC (or 4,500 years ago). So the Great Pyramid was about five hundred years old when Abraham came out of the city of Ur.
Creationists, or at least those who claim that the world is only six thousand years old, say that there are only 400 years between Noah's Flood and Abraham -- or even less, as we shall see. This is unworkable.
For instance, one website gives the following dates.*
Creation 4004 BC
Flood 2348 BC
Tower of Babel 2234 BC Only 114 years after the Flood????
Abraham 1996 BC Only 352 years after the Flood????
As you can see, this creationist date of 1996 BC for Abraham is very close to the generally accepted figure of around 2000 BC. Yet they claim that the Tower of Babel, an immense project requiring tens of thousands of workers, happened only a trifle over a hundred years after the Flood. These workers would have to be supported by millions of farmers or herders. Keep in mind that after the Flood, Genesis says there were only eight people in the world.
There is solid evidence that the Great Pyramid and others nearby were built around 2500 BC, about 500 years before Abraham. Creationist reckoning seems to put the Great Pyramid before the Flood.

I don’t think so,Because Hams son Mizraim,the grandson of Noah was the first Egyptian ruler,plus the pyramids were built for pharaohs Menkaure(smallest one),Khafre(Medium sized one),and Khufu(largest out of the tree) as burial chambers out of respect and honor by the Egyptians.It is also worthy to note that the Ancient Egyptian empire was/is split into 2 kingdoms as well as 3 dynasties.The old dynasty lasted 500 years (2700 B.C.-2200B.C.),The middle dynasty (2050 B.C.-1800 B.C.),and The new dynasty (1550 B.C.-1100 B.C.) in the first century of the old dynasty the kingdom of Egypt was divided into two kingdoms,the lower kingdom and the upper kingdom.The kings of both wore different crowns.the north a white cone crown and the south a red cobra crown,when the two kingdoms merged in the 1st century of the old dynasty the first pharaoh Djet wore the United crown and it is often shown on Amun-Ra(the false Egyptian Supreme God of all the false Gods of the Egyptians).However I’m getting off topic,but anyway though the Egyptians founded their empire first before the Babylonians,they couldn’t have built the pyramids before the flood,because Egypt hadn’t been founded yet and thus didn’t exist yet,only small nomadic tribes throughout Africa,Asia,and the Middle East.After the flood,Egypt was founded as well as Babylon where the tower of Babylon was built.The Babylonians also built pyramids,hence when God and his angels came down and spread the people of Babylon about the world with their different languages they continued their architecture of pyramids throughout the world (MesoAmericans/Mayans and Southeast Asians/Burmese empire).However the crucial point here is the flood HAD to have come before the pyramids at Giza because Mizraim had to have founded Egypt.It is generally agreed that Abraham lived around 2,000 BC (or about 4,000 years ago). Archaeologists and historians tell us that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was built around 2,500 BC (or 4,500 years ago). So the Great Pyramid was about five hundred years old when Abraham came out of the city of Ur.

But the prophecies of Jesus won't save you.And contains the prophecies about Jesus' birth, ministry etc.

Since the worldwide flood destroyed the ancient word I really could not see pyramids remaining intact without a lot of destruction, so the were built after the flood.
Also we vary between 6 to 15 thousand years, I am so very tired of 6 thousand being slung around by people who don't believe scripture as written.
Exodus 20:11
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
The Genesis account is not a science book and only speaks of a local location where Adam & Eve would live.I don't believe that Genesis says that God created only one large land mass at the beginning.
Daniel Marsh: "The other thing that would make sense is that Noah's flood was local."
You seem to be talking about the theory that what is now the Black Sea had a lot of dry land and people living there at one time. Then the thin wafer of land separating the Mediterranean Sea from the Black Sea broke down and flooded the whole area with salt water. I've seen estimates of 7,000 years ago to 9,000 years ago for when this happened. If it did happen, one could imagine what horror stories the survivors would tell.
If this happened, it could have inspired the story of Noah's Flood but it doesn't agree with the Biblical narrative that the Ark landed at high altitude on Mt. Ararat.
From what I read, science is leaning again this huge Black Sea event. Scientists are saying that if it happened it was much smaller than some have reported.
Genesis 1:10Genesis 1:9,10 is one piece of land surrounded by the sea
