Gilgamesh Being a man of religious background‚ specifically Roman Catholic‚ I began read the tablets of Gilgamesh skeptically.

In the passage “Noah Count and the Arkansas Ark‚” the author explains that not all education is in book-smarts. How he does this is by showing how he felt about their education at first and changed his mind after “the flood” and had been proved to be wrong. This passage can just show how far any knowledge will get you. It all began with his grandma saying that rain was coming their way. He had questioned this because there was not a cloud in the sky at the time. Then the other Appletons backed

The Parallels between Noah and the Epic of Gilgamesh The story of the flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh is a well-known parallel to the story of Noah’s ark in the Hebrew Scriptures of Genesis.
