If you haven’t already watched NOVA’s “Secrets of Noah’s Ark” I would recommend doing so. NOVA is always great, but if you’re interesting in the connection between the Sumerian/Babylonian flood myths and the Biblical flood myth you’ll find this fascinating. I don’t want to give away any details so here’s the link to NOVA (PBS): http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/secrets-noahs-ark.html

oh I watched this and thought it was really good! there is also something similar on the history channel that explains this, and I learned in my humanties class the Noah’s story was actually told in ancient Mesopotamia but had a different name and the story was a tad different but still very similar

Yes, its the epic of Gilgamesh. My students compare the two flood stories in my Global history course. The similarities between the two are very interesting. Thanks for the response!

right it is very interesting and what i find very fascinating is how many bible stories started in some form or other in ancient history, way before the bible was ever supposedly established, very thought inducing information =) and I LOVE THE STORY OF GILGAMESH , so sad he lost his best friend and spent his life in search of immortality instead of living it why he had the chance to the fullest, I also the story of oedipus
