The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Old Testament both are ancient writings of two different civilizations. The Sumerians of the Fertile Crescent, Mesopatamia created the Epic of Gilgamesh so it predates any text created by the Israelites of course.
quote: Their culture was based strongly around floods because of their dependence of the Tigris and Euphrates which they often flooded. Civilations had to have a river and that river had to overflow sometime. A civilization having a flood story does not mean it was copied from the earliest civilization. Saying that other ancient literature is better than another is simply an opinion. The Illiad by the way was not written by Homer to be truth. The Old Testament was. This underlying difference between the two means something. The Bible is also more consistent historically. -porcelain

quote: I have the impression it was an epic but not an historical text. I thought Homer wrote it not with the intentions of displaying history but creating a fantastic story. I feel this way because if you actually view the Illiad for what is said, didn't parts of the Illiad come from his imagination? Am I wrong in saying this?
quote: Is there more evidence for it being copied than it actually happening? No. It can only create a major coincidence of similiar stories. Especially judging that there wasn't much cultural diffusion between the Israelites and the Sumerians. The chinese were isolated from all other civilizations, they contain similiar features in their flood myth, very close to the Israelites myth. This can only show that flood myths were similiar in ways seemingly impossible without it actually happening.
quote: quote: Much of what it is is historically sound. The nations, the events most are recorded as of happening. Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon is one for instance. The exodus is being taught as happening it history textbooks. This however cannot be good evidence. Outruling the exodus leaves the other historically correct information which there is a good quantity of. This message has been edited by CHRIS PORTEUS jr, 09-30-2004 05:17 PM -porcelain

Is it not being established as happening and adding on to this? The exodus is used to describe the formation of the Israelite civilization.
