|  Ramses30 | Jan 31, 2007 10:18am | Since you brought up Gilgamesh then you most probably read the whole story and should know about the flood part of it!!! I just want to know your point of view on how "The Great Flood" in the Bible is linked to the flood of the ancient Mesopotamians in what is considered to be the "oldest book" in history, which should mean it predates the making of the Torah!
Thanks in adavance. |

In spite of long periods of stability and predictability, now and again these conditions would yield to environmental as well as climatological change, causing chaos and death in its wake. In spite of the attempts of hydraulic engineers to control the flow through dams and ditches, there were undoubtedly many inconvenient inundations and then once in a great while, devastating floods. Apparently, there were some truly catastrophic events as well as survivors who lived to tell the tale. |
