Scientists FINALLY Opened The Tomb Of Gilgamesh That Was Sealed For Thousands Of Years @JoSmotherman The Gilgamesh/ Utnapishtim and Noah stories are strikingly similar.... with striking differences. In the Sumerian history, Enlil was angry that Enki had given the human slaves the power to reproduce sexually, and to recieve pleasure from sex. He was further angered at the sounds the humans made at night, engaging in sex, which he said was disturbing his sleep. He described it as cattle lowing. Although the Annunaki Gods did not cause the flood, they knew it was coming, and in a Council meeting, agreed not to tell the human slaves . Enki, once again, taking the humans side, warned Utnapishtim, and gave him specifications to build the Ark. And instructed him to build it well inland, and next to the sheer wall of a Mountain . Which Utnapishtim did not understand until the floodwaters came. The Ark was also a semi-submersible. He also provided a Pilot for the Ark, who not only brought the seeds of plants, but also the DNA of the animals. Not actual pairs of animals .. There are many more details that are very interesting. I suggest research and reading of the actual texts interpretations. Peace I had a good friend who looked a lot, lot, almost identical to the Gilgamesh statue. He was 6'1'', and weighed 300 pounds. He had red hair, and was Scottish in ancestry. Alas.... he too was not immortal. RIP... Big'un McClellan. @NancyLebovitz People might be interested in a novel based on Gilgamesh-- How Like a God by Brenda Clough. Gilgamesh takes a while to show up, but trust me, he's there.

Genesis Myth of Eridu... (Its not myth it is historis record of the past). The Genesis Myth of Eridu is an ancient Sumerian text written around 1600 BCE, and it contains a version of the flood story used in Gilgamesh and later the Old Testament of the Bible. Sources for the Eridu myth include a Sumerian inscription on a clay tablet from Nippur (also dated about 1600 BCE), another Sumerian fragment from Ur (about the same date) and a bilingual fragment in Sumerian and Akkadian from Ashurbanipal's library in Nineveh, about 600 BCE. The first part of the Eridu origin myth describes how the mother goddess Nintur called to her nomadic children and recommended they stop wandering, build cities and temples, and live under the rule of kings. The second part lists Eridu as the very first city, where the kings Alulim and Alagar ruled for nearly 50,000 years (well, it is a myth, after all). The most famous part of the Eridu myth describes a great flood, which was caused by the god Enlil. Enlil became annoyed at the clamor of human cities and decided to quiet down the planet by wiping the cities out. Nintur warned the king of Eridu, Ziusudra, and recommended he build a boat and save himself and a pair of each living being in order to save the planet. This myth has clear connections to other regional myths such as Noah and his ark in the Old Testament and the Nuh story in the Koran, and the origin myth of Eridu is the likely basis for both of these stories.
