About This Tag
The flood narrative found in Genesis is also found in other ancient Near Eastern texts, demonstrating a degree of literary relationship between traditions. The Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, the Atrahasis epic, and other similar narratives, along with the biblical Genesis narrative, share structural and thematic similarities, starting with divine warnings and ending with post-flood sacrifices. These parallels suggest a process of literary borrowing, adaptation, or common literary ancestry highlighting a framework that was reshaped within different cultural and theological contexts.
