    How Did Utanapishtim Build The Ark

    Most biblical historians and theological scholars have determined that the Great Flood as told in Genesis occurred sometime around 2500BC. In Genesis 6 through 8 it tells of how God who became dissatisfied with the wickedness of mankind causes a flood in order to destroy mankind. Before the flood, however, God finds a righteous man and tells him to build an ark for his family and the animals of the earth in order for them to repopulate the Earth after the flood. The rains begin causing a flood that kills every living creature of the Earth except for those that are on the ark. Eventually, the rains stop, the flood waters finally recede, dry land is found allowing Noah and his family along with all of the animals to leave the ark.…

    Comparing Noah's Ark And Gilgamesh

    The Epic of Gilgamesh had one of three Akkadian flood myths. The Sumerians also created their own story of a flood; where the biblical flood story, found in Genesis 9, has a lot of similarities. They are similar because they both had a global floodsent by god or gods which was done to control people. The gods contacted the hero and told him to build the ark. Both Arks were very large and contained different types of aminals. In the end the hero of course got too choose how it ended by releasing the animals, and the the hero sacrifsed the gods, who blessed…

    Noahs Ark and Gilgamesh

    The Epic of Gilgamesh Flood Story and the Noah’s Ark story from the Bible are similar in many ways. They are similar in the sense that they both got rid of their houses and all of their belongings. Noah received his message from God to start building the boat while Gilgamesh received his message in a dream. But in the story of Noah’s Ark, Noah was to build the boat to exact measurements which were 300 cubits for its length, 50 cubits for its width, and 30 cubits for its height. Where in the Epic of the Gilgamesh it was to be built “shall have her dimensions in proportion, Her width and length in harmony.” The story never tells how big the boat was for all living seeds. So as a reader we can picture Noah’s massive boat where we cannot do the same for Gilgamesh’s boat They were both were to build enormous boats that would be able to hold all forms of life. In the Epic of Gilgamesh Flood Story, Gilgamesh fills his boat with all forms of life along with silver and gold. Whereas Noah built the boat only to fit all animals and his family. The Epic of Gilgamesh fought through only six days and seven nights where Noah fought through forty days and forty nights. But we do know the Bible uses the number 40 as a way of saying a long period of time. Both Gilgamesh and Noah released a Raven and a Dove but Noah released 3 doves while Gilgamesh only released a swallow after the release of other two birds. The Gilgamesh Epic has close parallels with the account of Noah’s Flood. Its close similarities are due to its closeness to the real event. However, there are major differences as well. Everything in the Epic, from the polytheism to the absurd cubical ark, as well as the worldwide flood legends, show me that the Genesis account is the original, while the Gilgamesh Epic is a distortion.…

    Compare And Contrast Gilgamesh And The Bible

    Gilgamesh is told to be the oldest existing story in the history of humankind, imminently, the story has many similarities to the bible. Bible is a text oof belief based lessons and the base of the religion of Christianity which has many similarities to Gilgamesh as in they both include the tales of worldly destruction with the reasons, destroyer and the saving. All similarities aside, the two texts can be contrasted as the bible is the root of world’s biggest universalizing religion and the Gilgamesh was not extracted as a manuscript and if man made errors are factored in, it may not have been comprehended as it was supposed to be. Gilgamesh and the bible can be compared and contrasted based on the stories, lessons and the effects on the evolution…

    Gilgamesh And Genesis Comparison

    The flood in Gilgamesh had many similarities to the story of Noah ark in Genesis of the Bible. When Gilgamesh was trying to find everlasting life, he went to Utanapishtim to learn how to get everlasting life. Utanapishtim told the story of the great flood and how the people had overwhelmed the earth and upset the gods. In Noah ark, God needed to cleanse the earth because the people had become to corrupted. I feel like the reasons why they flooded the earth was different in both stories because the Gods want to flood Earth because it was to crowed and in Genesis God want to save the people but cleanse the earth from the evil. They both had similar story line. The Gods came to one person to save men kind. In the story of Utanapishtim the god…

    Ancient Deluge Document Essay

    There are few ancient documents that have survived the hardship of time. Actually, whether or not the writings are fiction or non-fiction, these literary works give a concept of what life was like in that time period. When similarities are discovered, they most likely point to real facts. The Biblical account of Noah’s flood and The Epic of Gilgamesh indicate that a real, disastrous flood literally did happen. While The Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis flood documents are very different in multiple ways, they are surprisingly similar. Because of these fascinating parallels, there is actual reason to believe that a catastrophic global deluge did exist.…

    Since the two inspiring stories, The Epic of Gilgamesh by Beers & The Odyssey by Homer are similar to each other, what events happen in both of the stories and what lesson does one learn? The Epic of Gilgamesh & The Odyssey are similar to each other because events that happened in The Epic of Gilgamesh also happened in The Odyssey. Some events that happened in both of the stories include that they both had to overcome monsters and obstacles to get to their destination. Both of the powerful heroes learned to not take advantage of things that are important. Most readers believe that temptation is a mind-tricking game that ends up having a bad consequence.…

    Similarities Between The Odyssey And The Epic Of Gilgamesh

    The Odyssey is both the second story in a two-book trilogy written by Homer some time in 700B.C. and an incredible story of an epic journey filled with sorrow, temptation, and a hero journeying home. Similarly to Homer’s Odyssey, The Epic of Gilgamesh(which was written by an unknown author) is also a story involving gods, goddesses, temptation, and a journey to and from Gilgamesh’s home. These two day old stories share many similarities, such as the strings of temptation being strung in the hero’s hearts which exists in addition to their strive to be powerful, as well as their genre, they of course share several differences as well.…

    Epic of Gilgamesh Compare to Noah

    Being a man of religious background, specifically Roman Catholic, I began read the tablets of Gilgamesh skeptically. However I did notice a significant difference between the Genesis chapters 6 through 9 and the Epic of Gilgamesh. The story of Noah as written in the Holy Bible, under Genesis was written as I believe within a society that carried very strong morals. A belief in something bigger than themselves; and their belief in that one thing was called God. A God that was merciful and compassionate, yet vengeful, in regards to his creation known as mankind. In regards to Noah’s story, God was to banish the word of all creatures including man for the violence state that they had become. In the essence of gender relations, it’s stated in Genesis that God saw how beautiful women were created as the daughters of men. It also mentions how God saved the life of one man and his family from a flood that was to be the end of one Generation, the original generation that got out of control in God’s eyes and the beginning of a fresh start. I also feel that the society, in which the accounts of the bible were written, was one of insecurity and redemption. Maybe the bible was like a code of conduct, with examples in which one at the time could refer too. That there were consequences, to ones actions, however through the act of redemption one could be saved, and forgiven by a merciful God. I don’t see vast examples of gender relations in this story for it speaks between man and God directly.…

    Gilgamesh Legacy's Journey

    The step where Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh about the flood story is unimportant because it doesn’t show the creation of Gilgamesh’s identity. Utnapishtim began to tell him how he used to be the king of the city Shurruppak, and how the god Ea told him to build a boat and put two of every species on the boat because he was going to flood the earth. Utnapishtim was wondering what he should tell the people of his city. So Ea said, “tell them this: I have learnt that Enil is wrathful of me, I dare no longer walk in his land nor live in his city; I will go down to the gulf to dwell with Ea my lord. But on you he will rain an abundance, rare fish and shy wild fowl, a rich harvest tide. In the evening the rider of the storm will bring you wheat in torrents.”(24 Epic of Gilgamesh) The boat was completed in seven days and after the flood Utnapishtim saw no sign of life. Then Utnapishtim and his family were rewarded and received the gift of eternal life. Gilgamesh was interested in Utnapishtim’s story and asked him if there was anything that he could do to gain…

    Genesis and Gilgamesh

    After reading the flood story of Gilgamesh and the flood story in Genesis it is obvious that there is a relationship between the two. If someone were to tell you a summary of one, they would ultimately be telling you a summary of the other. But just because the overviews are the same does not mean that they are not different. The Epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Genesis have very minor differences, but these differences make each story distinct.…

    Genesis Vs Gilgamesh Essay

    Although the similarities between “The Epic of Gilgamesh” and “The Genesis” story are many, the variances are very few. Utnapishtim was warned in Ea’s dream, while Noah was directly warned by God. The flood in Utnapishtim’s epic was ordered by Enlil but sent by the whole assembly of gods. In Noah’s fable, the flood was sent by God himself. Lastly, the length of time that the heroes were made to endure the great disaster was very disparate. Utnapishtim had to only survive a short period of time which was 6 days and nights. Noah endured hardship for a much longer period. His journey was 40 days and…

    The Story of the Flood in Three Gilgamesh, the Metamorphosis and Genesis

    It is apparent in our class readings, that when the gods are angry at the humans they created, these gods unleash unforgiving rains to flood the earth, and kill the human race. Over the years, there have been various texts about these floods. While the occurrences of the floods themselves are continuous throughout these texts, they have varying reasons for the cause of the floods and different aftermaths or consequences. Three of these texts in particular which tell the story of these floods, are Gilgamesh translated by Stephen Mitchell, Metamorphoses by Ovid and Genesis. The main factor in these floods was of course the god or gods who created it. Therefore, the floods in each of these three texts were different, because the gods who created the floods were different. Even though a flood occurs in all of the three texts, the cause, the flood itself and the aftermaths of the floods are different.…
