Epic of Gilgamesh

“It's the Epic of Gilgamesh. Yeah. Damn flood. The oldest story there is. Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah, I just, you know, people like now want to have an answer to something.”

“comes from other tales. And the Epic of Gilgamesh is an interesting one. I don't know how much you've read of Gilgamesh. A little bit. Yeah, it's difficult. It's difficult to absorb.”

“So you've got a few different stories of the flood. And in the Epic of Gilgamesh, he's going to find Utnapishtim, who was the one who survived the flood. So the flood has already happened in the Gilgamesh epic. But like Atrahasis is another version of that story.”

“Before that, it was all verbal story writing. Gilgamesh, wasn't it? The width of Gilgamesh is a bit older. Maybe. Slightly. Not to contradict you on your own podcast, but you know, I mean, feel free. Just to go back to that, isn't it interesting? Just hold this up for a second.”

“real facts of the event. I don't think anybody could possibly know. But I think when you have the epic of Gilgamesh, which mirrors the story of Noah's Ark, which mirrors the story of other religions that have similar flood myths or flood stories, it's probably something happened.”
