Where is the Deluge?

November 30th, 2348 BC - It's not called "The God-Flood" for nothing! it's only the single most important event in the history of Mankind!! Redefining Demography, Theology, Technology, Geography, Geology, Astronomy, and Biology, how could this article brush past it without so much as a footnote!?LutherVinci (talk) 19:38, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because the chronology is not canonical. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:09, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose then that Egyptian Chronology would also fit that category, wouldn't it? LutherVinci (talk) 19:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest that the difference between this and the Egyptian Chronology is that for the latter we have (i) multiple reliable WP:SECONDARY sources, who are (ii) able to base their work on multiple chronological synchronisms, rather than just a single source.

Enheduanna - the first author known by name.

And what about Ptahhotep? (Presumably 2414-2375 BC)
