    Why does the flood happen? The flood happens because the counselor Enlil wanted to kill off all humans that lived in Shuruppak.

    Genesis 6:7-8 reads, “7 So the Lord said, ‘I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.’ 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord” (The Holy Bible). This scripture introduces the well-known story of Noah’s Ark. God sent forty days and forty nights of non-stop rain to wipe out the sin-ridden humans and purify the Earth. One male and one female from every animal species and the family of Noah would be spared in order to repopulate the Earth. There has been much debate over the existence of such an event even though versions have been recorded in many cultures and languages. Some say that the bible’s…

One major thing that negatively affected his political career was that he trusted too easily. As a result of this, members of his cabinet, and lower administration got away with everything from financial mismanagement to theft. Once word of this got out he lost support within his own party.

An example of this would be Grants desire to leave the south with blacks having full rights, he obviously fell short of his goal.…

    This suggests that “The Story of the Flood,” from Genesis, was based off the original “Story of the Flood” from The Epic of Gilgamesh.

The time it took to build the ark was approximately seven days for Utnapishtim and up to one hundred years for Noah. The time period that these two renowned pieces of literature were written are important parts of information that affect the historical background and…
