The great walls of Uruk were found.
Have you heard of Atrahasis? Quoting: Chromatophore So what? The story as told in Genesis is the original. It has ALL the correct Facts. The Gilgamesh story is a retelling through the pagan lense. Quoting: Servant-of-the-LORD It dates back 5,000 years making it prebiblical telling. So the Biblical flood story was written from around 1430-1201 BC, whereas the first version of The Epic of Gilgamesh to contain the flood story was written from 1300-1000 BC. Quoting: Chromatophore Yet the Gilgamesh version has NO 'details' that show place etc...like the Bible does. Ancient artifacts like the Sumerian tablets / Egyptian papyrus do NOT prove that the "original" story, as the Bible tells us, is a copy of something else. And the accuracy of their accounts of events can be misleading, as the Hitites' version of their battle with Egypt is significantly different than Egypt's version of 'total victory' over them. They merely record what that specific society believed at that moment in history. Similarity does NOT PROVE direct association nor origination. Historical existence does not prove "origin of story". "Concensus of scholars" isn't "proof of fact". Quoting: Servant-of-the-LORD Hello. Shurrupak is one of the oldest cities in Mesopotamia 20 miles north of Uruk. Key location of utnapishtim where he was protected from the flood by ea. Mashu is located in the Lebanon ranges as a mountain with twin peaks. Erech in southern Babylonia is the location after the flood where the dynasty of kings followed. Yes it is known written and oral history by man is an account that has biases. That is true historical existence does not prove origin. No it is not proof of fact. Collective is an agreement and so far Noah’s ark cannot be agreed upon so it is not in this present time verified by the collective.
