Gilgamesh VS “Genesis”: Noah and the Flood

"Religion turns unestablished beliefs into an unchallenged fact through the power and time of the system - Richard Dawkins." We all know the amazing story of the Genesis flood, but the epic poems of Gilgamesh Have you noticed similarities with? Genesis is a story about how God created mankind and everything else on the earth, and the punishment imposed on them when they acted erroneously. The generation is a chapter in the Bible written in the 18th century BC.

Comparison of Gilgamesh and Genesis In Gilgamesh and Noah, and in the floods, human evil is bringing about death, destruction, and regeneration. The floods of both stories have destroyed most humans. The flood represents human regeneration and a new beginning, and God and the wrath of God. In Gilgamesh, the gods decided to destroy the human race by flooding the earth for 6 days and 6 nights. Utnapishtim was chosen to build a ship to restart humans after the flood.

Andrew George suggested that the flood story of Genesis is closely related to the conspiracy of Gilgamesh, and few people doubt that it originated from the story of Mesopotamia. Especially if the story enables alternatives, it is particularly noteworthy that the story of the flood of Gilgamesh continues "in the same order, little by little" after the Flood story of Genesis. In a tora review in 2001 published on behalf of the conservative movement of the Jews, Ravi scholar Robert Wechsler said. These stories disappeared during the subsequent revision. "

It was during the Sumerian period that the flood drowned Mesopotamia. The flood was so great that the story about it was reflected in several ancient documents. Noah's Sumerian opponent is Ziusudra, he developed a Babylonian character Utnapishtim from him. His flood story is related to the epic of Gilgamesh. After he escaped from the flood and became immortal, Utnapishtim was also prudent to tell Gilgamesh where to find plants to regain youthfulness. By 2800 BC, the city of Sumer appeared in the light of history. This first historical era, known as the ancient Sumer (or early dynasty) era, was characterized by a certain war as each city tried to protect or expand the land and water rights. Since the God of the local chief is considered to be true sovereignty, all city states are theocracy politics. The secular representative of God is high priest, mayor of the city and acts as a god administrator in religious and secular functions.
