The Epic Of Gilgamesh, Tablet XI, The Flood And A Comparison To the Bible’s Flood
Ivan
by Ivan
In 1880, English Assyriologist Geroge Smith published the translation of Tablet XI of the Epic of Gilgamesh containing the flood myth. The translation of the clay tablet raised a number of problems and controversy due to its similarity to the Genesis Flood Narrative.
The Genesis flood narrative (found in chapters 6–9 in the Book of Genesis) is one of the many flood myths.
The story tells of God’s decision to return the Earth to its pre-creation state of watery chaos and then remake it in a reversal of creation.
