In the beginning, there was water. A fact that has greatly affected the ancient world as shown in the tales of Gilgamesh and the biblical tales of Genesis chapters six through nine. With such a memorable symbol as water, it would be easy to assume that the two tales are pretty similar maybe even identical. However, after reading both it was an easy conclusion to find that both are more different than similar.
“Lay upon the sinner his sin.” (Gilgamesh, 28) Quite a memorable quote from the tale of Gilgamesh. It is actually pretty similar to something God thought about in Genesis; “The Lord saw how great was man’s wickedness on earth...I will blot out from the earth the men whom I created….” (Genesis 6:5-7) It actually gives credence to the fact
