The story of a Great Flood sent by God or the gods to destroy civilization as an act of divine retribution is a widespread theme among many ancient cultures. It is best known from the biblical story of Noah, but there are several other famous versions.
Many of the world’s cultures past and present have stories of a Great Flood that devastated earlier civilizations. While not all flood stories are the same, the description of the destruction of the world by water is a common theme in many religions and cultures. Most flood stories include an angry God or deity, and a catastrophic water event that destroys the world but is only survived by a chosen few.

Fascinating! Long live Utnapishtim! Oh he did,lol!🤣 Sorry ancient joke!😅
good job man
another nice video, thanks!
the word SEED adds logic to the story. and the reaction I expected from some religions would certainly be to ban the gilgamesh texts and invent that they were couples of each species. thus they would destroy our knowledge of human history.
and there are still those who think that lies are a modern thing.
Great organization of the associated world accounts, some of which were obviously fanciful fictionalized characters, and some of enlightened commonsense depictions of more than likely realistic events that we can easily surmise plausible truths. Thanks for sharing your efforts, insights & good reasonable deductions. Very enjoyable and provocative…
Your voice soothes my soul ! Awesome work as usual! Thank you for your work! Much love and blessings 💞
