The true Bible story of Noah's Ark Jewish tradition, based upon the corrupt Masoretic chronology, has long viewed Shem as Melchizedek, who died when Jacob was 50. The correct Septuagint chronology says that Shem died in 2796 BC, hundreds of years before Jacob was born in 2006 BC. Again, this Jewish tradition is impossible to reconcile with the flood, Tower of Babel, population dynamics and the archeology of Dynasty 0 of Egypt and the first pyramids in 2650 BC. 2. The sacred inspired text tells us Noah lived 350 ... The best candidate from the one who was on the ark in these flood stories would be Ham, the grandfather of Nimrod who build the tower of Babel. 5.
