(urth) planetary problems

[Marc Aramini]

But in the original, the ark was played by the ship that Severian went to Yesod on, the sailors who survived where dropped back off, no?
This would be a retcon, a multiple ark story line.

But it is possible that later, when he had written Urth, Wolfe thought, oh, wait, my purifying flood needs an ark to preserve humanity, who will come back after the deluge is gone ... The whorl.

But, Lee, if Wolfe is truly keying off of Genesis 6, where is Noah? The ark? The animals?
The ark can't be the Whorl because it wasn't written yet. Noah can't be Severian because he's the flood.

Most people would consider this refutation trivial. But I know you will get it. If the nephilim are important, then Noah is doubly important. Granted Wolfe could have the megatherians play the animals as well as the nephilim, but there is no evidence of what happens to them.
