"The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia, regarded as the earliest surviving notable literature and the second oldest religious text" c. 2100–1200 BC (source via Brandão 2020 pg 23)

Here's a side by side comparison. Only one key difference really stands out.

People will use this to say "See a flood really did happen! Because another ancient culture talked about it!" But that's not necessarily the case Gilgamesh is a recognized epic, mythical. The fact that the story was then repeated into Judaism does not make it more factual, it keeps it as an allegorical story. A foundation myth.

It's important to remember the early semitic people were nomadic, and sometimes captives to other cultures. The Babylonian exile, and earlier stories from the Sumerian epics would have played a key role in establishing their own religion.

Hence why we see early Judaism as a polytheistic religion that widdles into a monotheist one.

We are starting to get into theological talks. If you want to debate in the comments do so kindly. Remember being a phobe doesn't make you an edgelord it makes you a Jerk. Check my other vids for more fun stuff, and soon to come 'deeper' biblical history and theological debates.

Welcome to my archive! I am posting all my videos as shorts. One by one, follow along! Especially if you haven't seen the originals and are new here. (I promise the quality and content get better as I learned more about recording and pacing)

Soon we will be getting into actual theology, debates are allowed in the comments. This is not your typical religious or spiritual channel, I encourage questions and critical thought! After all THIS is the time for christian deconstruction. We love all and this is a queer space.
