The Epic of Gilgamesh is very similar to the flood story in the bible known as‚ "Noah’s Ark." When people tell me or ask me about the Epic of Gilgamesh I automatically assume they are talking about the flood in the bible. Mostly every Christian was taught about Noah’s Ark‚ and most have no clue what the Epic of Gilgamesh is‚ like me. It makes you wonder and have questions like the video of the Epic of Gilgamesh says‚ "who had it first‚ the Mesopotamian’s or the biblical world?" Also‚ how is it even

Interestingly‚ after Noah and his family were in the ark‚ God closes the door‚ which would have been ginormous. According to Genesis 7:12‚ God let rain fall down from the heavens and gush up from the earth over

The epic of "Gilgamesh‚" the book of "Genesis" and Ovid’s "Metamorphoses" poem all have several similarities; some are the creation story‚ a story of a fall‚ and a flood. Among these similarities‚ there are also distinct differences. In terms of similarities‚ all three stories present the creation story of the world out of chaos. "Genesis" and "Metamorphoses" state that man was created on god’s image and that’s when humans were first brought into life. On the other hand‚ looking at some differences

Flood stories have been a common thread in many religions across the globe. Two very similar flood stories are the story of Noah in Genesis and the story of Utnapishtim in the epic of Gilgamesh. I believe that they are similar as they have been said to occur around the same region (which is somewhere around our present day middle-east). The flood in both stories destroys most of mankind. They represent rebirth and a new beginning for mankind. In the epic of Gilgamesh the gods decided to destroy mankind

It is a reminder of a the terrible period in our world’s past that must never
