The Flood of Noah and the Flood of Gilgamesh

Myths, some guesses are reality, many are not, and are always part of our lives. However, looking at the different myths of different cultures, it is possible that some of the two different myths may very closely resemble each other, so people will guess whether they have kept in touch for a long time. This led to the question that people are constantly trying to prove: the myth of superimposing ideas verifies a similar culture between the actual historical truth and the origins of myths.

The flood of Noah and the epic flood of Gilgamesh were caused by Christians since they were found in Nineveh's great library place in the mid-nineteenth century. The Noah era floods dates back to the 3000th century BC 1, the rest of the epic contains little typical worthy to Christians, as it contains typical mythical myths associated with the pagan people of those days.

After Noah 's flood and Gilgamesh' s flood survived for 2,500 years, the epic version of Gimi Games' semicolo - Babylon was revived by British archaeologists in the 19th century. In the ruins of the Assyrian palace, 12 clay monuments carved the first hero of world literature - the adventure of King Gilgamesh - its verbal folk trail dates back at least 3000 years before Christ (Harris 1). Tablet XI contains stories about floods. In this article, let's compare this flood account with the recent Noah flood account in Genesis of the Old Testament.

In the gilgamesh epic, the gods decided to destroy mankind by flooding the earth for 6 days and 6 nights. Utnapishtim was chosen to build a ship to restart humans after the flood. "With Noah and the Great Flood", God decided that there are so many evils in the world and decided to drown the earth "40 days and night". God picked Noah, rescued each of the two animals and built an ark to restart humans after the flood. In Gilgamesh and the Bible epic there was a story of the Great Flood. These stories are compared and contrasted in several important aspects.

An ancient Babylonian flood myth, epic poems of Gilgamesh tells us a story similar to Noah and his ark. Among them, a man named Utnapishtim built a ship to rescue his family and animals from the flood caused by the angry god. After 7 days Utnapishtim and his family rested safely on top of the mountain. These stories are constantly occurring and scholars have noticed their similarities. While studying more than 200 flood myths, creationist James Perloff observed that 95% of the story referred to the global flood, people were saved by 70% and 57% of the ship.
