The Great Flood in “Genesis 6-9” vs. “The Epic of Gilgamesh” There are many contradictions about the validity of stories in the Hebrew Bible. For example, “The Epic of Gilgamesh” has a few scenes that are similar to that of the Hebrew Bible. One scene in particular is Utanaphistim’s account of the Great Flood.

that dated to 1951. A water tower for the citrus groves also inhabited this area. The elder Mr. Brown dug a large pound near a cypress grove, and Hyatt remembers canoeing on adjacent creeks, hunting the property and working citrus and hay fields. Brown’s Landing is a Beautiful Place Old oaks, towering pines and native palms still thrive here.

filled with stars or resembling a star and I believe the painting can be interpreted through the second definition. In the left corner there is a dark figure and the figure is a Cypress tree, the Cypress tree symbolizes death and the underworld in the painting I believe it does the same thing but in a more joyous way. The cypress tree reaches up high into the sky and can be seen as a bridge between life being the earth which the tree is connected to and heaven being the sky. Much like the poem…

expression. Vincent painted this oil painting in France where it’s “plagued in the winter months by the mistral, strong winds that blow day after day out of the Alps down the Rhone River valley.
