Love in the Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis

In the early stages of history, the epics of Gilgamesh and the stories of Genesis are the two texts that form the framework of the whole world. They are two epics that form the basis of religion, literature and all other standards, and every kind of person follows these standards. Both texts will appeal to the audience through antique words and episodes of magnificent heroes and immortal gods. Sin-Leqi-Unninni and many Bible writers have a theme centered on love, which seems to have a big impact on all the letters of both texts.

Gilgamesh and Flood of Genesis Epic of Gilgamesh records the world's floods and stories before Genesis. So, some people argue that this will invalidate the record of Genesis. But P. J. Wiseman presented an interesting theory to his books "Ancient Records" and "The Structure of Genesis" (New York: Thomas Nelson, 1985). He believed that Moses did not write Genesis, but translated it into an ancient stone tablet written in wedge-shaped writing. Each tablet is originally written by a witness to a specific event, or by someone who receives information from witnesses.

Many epics and previous generation myths can be compared with the Old Testament story. Myths such as Enuma Elish, Ba's al story, Gilgamesh Epic etc are related to Genesis, Psalms and many other Bible chapters. Episodes of Gilgamesh specifically refer to the stories of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2: 4-11: 32. Both describe the pain, evil and death caused by human arrogance and rebellion. George Adam Smith found the tablet while working at the British Museum. After reading these tablets, he found that they were very similar to the description of the flood of Genesis. Gilgamesh became king of history of Uruk around 2700 BC. He is a member of humans and animals. Several people think that he is too strict with his people and summon God Anu. Anu created Enkidou, a better person than Gilgamesh, so he can kill him.

In the gilgamesh epic, one of the oldest recorded texts in human history clearly shows that it also affects Genesis. The girugamesh epic is the story of a man named Enkidou who lives in animals in a paradise of nature until it is created by God from the earth and tempted by a woman named Shamhat. Like Genesis, Enkidu accepts Shamhat's food and is obliged to leave this natural paradise after understanding his nakedness. Enkido met a snake who stole an undead plant in the second half of the story. There is a clear similarity between this story and the story seen in Genesis.
