The Penn Museum in Philadelphia, United States (USA), reported the discovery of a 6,500-year-old ancient human skull.

This skull is known as “Noah or Noah” because of its ᴀssociation with the great flood in the time of the Prophet Noah.

The skull was found after 85 years hidden in the museum’s basement. Unfortunately, all the documents that could identify these remains have disappeared.

Woolley and his team continued the excavation after finding the Royal Tomb, and after reaching a depth of about 12 meters, they found a layer of mud.

From these findings, Woolley concluded that initially, your-Chaldean was a small island in the middle of the surrounding swamps before experiencing a major flood that engulfed the entire region.

One of the tombs, where the skull was found, was located in a very deep layer of mud, indicating that the individual lived after the great flood occurred.

This skull is surprising because it is much older, about 2,000 years old, compared to the skeleton found in the famous Mesopotamian “royal tomb” found by Woolley at the same location in your-Chaldemi.

This skull indicates that the individual was a tough man, with an age of about 50 years or more. According to officials from Penn, human skulls from the period 5500 to 4000 BC are extremely rare, especially those that are still intact.

Placed in the Museum.

William Hafford, the Archaeological Digitization Project Manager at the Penn Museum, managed to trace the footprint of this skull all the way to the museum.

Woolley, diligently, took out the skull, lined it with wax, attached it to a piece of wood and lifted it up with the surrounding soil using a burlap rope.

The skeleton was then sent to London for inspection before finally arriving in Philadelphia. There, the skull lived in a wooden box without a catalogue card for 85 years, being one of 150,000 bone specimens in the museum’s collection.

Although this skull is much older than the scriptural record, the designation “Utnapishtim” may be more appropriate for him. The name was inspired by a character in the epic of Gilgamesh who was recognized as a survivor of the great flood.
