Gilgamesh and the Bible 

They found his tomb in 2003 a month before the iraq war started

Brother your information is awesome! Just binge watched most of your videos. Great work.

In answer to your questions on Noah: The ancient Greeks called him Kronos, from which we get the word 'clock' and 'chronology' from. This well describes a man who lived about 500 years before the flood of 3519 to 3520 BC (hold on! I'll explain!) and lived better than 300 years after that flood. Noah could have known Terah, Abrahams' father. Noah/Kronos was the father of both the Titans-the direct descendants of Shem and Japheth and the Olympians-the direct descendants of Ham. Nimrod was Narmer who was later called Braham in India, Tammuz and Baal in the Persian Gulf region and was the first Pharoah of Egypt and the one who united the northern half to the delta (city/states of Mizraim) by force and became known as Ra in the 2nd kingdom period of Egypt. Much later Nimrod was called Thor by the Greeks from the Nordic tradition. Before the war broke out between the gods, the clash between the Olympians and the Titans, fought primarily in India, during the life of Abraham, Noah had moved to the Island of Crete. This is about 3100 BC. As for my chronology, brace yourself, everything will work out. I Kings 6:1 reads 480 years between the Exodus and the beginning of Solomon's Temple. We know that this can not be correct. You can (I have) read from the beginning to Solomon's Temple foundation in the Bible and can account for more than 600 years given to us outright with two locations where there appears to be a major gap in time. STOP! The 480 years are good numbers, they came out of the translation that happened during the Babylonian captivity but they appear to be good. However, we know that there is more than 480 years between the Exodus and Solomon's Temple foundation. It actually looks like we have a missing book of Judges. You know Usher knew that the 480 years of I KINGS 6:1 was not correct but still used its face value! Adam is made 5594 BC Using the Septuagint from Adam to the flood. It doesn't matter at the flood which text you go by chronologically though most Old Testament quotes in the New Testament come from the Septuagint text. The Septuagint version borrowed the 480 years from the Hebrew/Chaldee version that again, was produced during the Babylonian captivity. The Flood is 3519 to 3520 BC, Noah and family were in the ark for 1 year and 10 days (See Noah's age given in the Bible) though it took years for the waters to drain off. The Ark beached on the Ararat (Highest Peak) of the Kush Mountains (named after Cush, son of Ham, son of Noah). The modern day mountain top called Ararat southeast of Turkey hasn't been called 'Ararat' for much more than 1000 years now! Sure has brought in the tourists. The first United Kingdom of Egypt began about 3200 BC and ended in the Exodus that happened in 2447 BC. Most Egyptologists add an additional 300 plus years of total silence that followed the Exodus in closing the first Kingdom Period of Egypt. The Royal House of Egypt left by ship and settled on Crete and renamed it, "The Island of Atlas" (another name for Nimrod) and became known as Atlantis. 900 before Plato (not 9000 years) a volcanic eruption destroyed the northern face of Atlantis, that was an island hopping away from their land port, Greece. The were the "Sea Peoples" dominating the Mediterranean. Actually, for much of this to even make sense to you after all you have gone through is to locate the Garden of Eden and begin the story from there. Maybe another time. NOTICE: You can not add nor subtract 1000 years of history in any chronology and not have a lot of problems. You have already studied through a lot of those problems. You have tried to make sense of it all. Now make the correction in I Kings 6:1 to 1,480 years and watch ancient history agree, from the Indus Valley ("they came from the east unto a pain in Shinar"), the Persian Gulf region and to the north, westward into Arabia, Egypt and across Africa. All the chronologies agree. Now, care to go back to Eden?

So informative!! Answered more questions than I expected.

This is a new favorite video!! I have to write an essay for a history exam on how world religions over lap i.e. world floods and giants and the such. It's hard to find sources that talk about the similarities and possible causes.

I thought God flooded the world to rid it from the evils of the Angels who bred with human women and spawned the Nephalim. At 17' Gilgamesh was a Nephalim.

Gilgamesh wanted immortality. He took a plant then a snake takes it away from him

GILGAMESH is from Sumerian Mythology. Just like the mythical gods of the Greeks and Romans.

Two thumbs up! Please do more of these.😊🙏😊

Great video! I am glad I found your channel.

God is good

(03 December 2023) It is my understanding that BEHIND Genesis 1-11 are portions of events appearing in the Epic of Gilgamesh, which have been recast. One such event is the global flood, called Noah's Flood, in the Bible. The flood hero in the Epic of Gilgamesh is called Utnapishtim. While at the city of Shuruppak, on the Euphrates river, in modern day Iraq, Utnapishtim is warned by his god, E-A, to build a boat and stock it with the seed of man and beast for post-flood RESTORATION of life after the global flood. Archaeologists in the 1930's excavated Shuruppak (today called Tell Fara) and found it had been flooded around 2900 BC by the Euphrates river. However the flood silts did not extend beyond the city to other cities. The city was quickly resettled, pottery being found on top of the flood silts. By 2000 BC the city had been destroyed by its enemies and abandoned. So Shurrupak existed from circa 3000 BC to circa 2000 BC. The archaeologists had found the flood silt evidence behind the whole earth being flooded in the Epic of Gilgamesh, It was a greatly exaggerated and embellished tall tale, there never was a global flood, only a local flood! The author of Genesis apparently accepted as true, the notion of a global flood as recounted in the Epic of Gilgamesh! Jesus, too, had accepted the notion of a global flood in Noah's day, and he makes mention of it in the New Testament. It is my understanding that BEHIND Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, is a recast Enkidu and Shamhat in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Shamhat's task, is to seduce Enkidu, then replace his animal companions with herself, and convince him to leave the wild steppe land called EDIN in which he roams with wild Bulls and Antelope, and come with her for a better life in Uruk, where lives Gilgamesh, who will become his bosom buddy. Edin is a Sumerian word, for "wilderness," whereas Hebrew EDEN means "DELIGHT." Apparently via _homonynm_ confusion, two words that sound alike, EDIN and EDEN, a wild, forlorn "WILDERNESS" became a place of "DELIGHT" for Adam and Eve? Enkidu is described as being a wild, naked, hairy animal, whose companions are naked, hairy, wild Bulls and Antelope. Enkidu eats grass with his animal companions, and laps water in the EDIN'S watering holes. Enkidu's animal companions abandon him when he attempts to rejoin after having had sex with Shamhat at EDIN'S watering hole. Gilgamesh predicted this would happen! So, rejected by his naked, hairy companions, Enkidu then accepts Shamhat as his new companion. She convinces him to leave the steppe-wilderness of EDIN and come with her, to live at Ururk and meet Gilgamesh. Before leaving EDIN, Shamhat shares her clothes with a naked, hairy, Enkidu. Then and there, Enkidu realizes IT IS WRONG TO BE NAKED IN THE EDIN. His former animal companions did not wear clothing and neither did he. He accepts Shamhat's articles of clothes and the two of them leave the wilderness steppe of EDIN clothed. For further details google the following two books I had published in 2010: Walter R. Mattfeld. _The Garden of Eden Myth, Its Pre-biblical Origin in Mesopotamian Myths._ Walter R. Mattfeld. _Eden's Serpent: Its Pre-biblical Origin in Mesopotamian Myths._

When you understand the language divisions after the tower of babel,you realise that Gilgamesh had several new names after,..like ....Nimrod,appollon and several more ..he certainly wasn't a good guy and may return in these last days ...

Growing up in the desert in New Mexico, I use to to climb the rock hills and saw large sea life trapped in time within the sandstone. Where I lived is over 6,000 ft above sea level. Evidence was in front of me.

In the book Legend of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg there is a story of Abraham having a conversation with Nimrod.

Thank you Happy New Year 😇 God bless

Sound effects from Link- The Legend of Zelda

You are a very good narrator!

Wow!!! I wish i could give this 100 thumbs up.!!! What other stories of the flood verify Hebrew history?

People that have read the epic of Gilgamesh and say how it was the OG flood myth actually don't know or disregard the fact that every culture from the Hopi Indians to the Australian Aboriginees had a flood myth... If you think about it maybe if every culture had a flood myth that is a proof that an actual flood happened rather it being invented by a writer and plagiarized as some people claim. Anyway there's different versions of the Gilgamesh myth, mainly the Sumerian version dated around 2000 years BC and it differs from the Assyrian version read here which was discovered in 1850 and dated around 650 BC... Not quite as a old. The 650 BC Asirian version or the "complete version" is more of a collection of myths and legends centered around the same character rather than a cohesive narrative. Some of those myths are older and some are newer. The older Sumerian version didn't contained the flood myth so it's safe to assume that it could have been added later as it was briefly alluded to it in the text Also, many ancient nations had oral storytelling tradition as old as the city of Uruk for example so just that someone wrote down their version of a certain myth first doesn't prove that they were the original author

Gilgamesh's tomb was found in 2003.

The narrator’s voice sounds familiar, sounds like the science guy that answers questions through RU-vid shorts

Wonderfully taught thanks!

Thank you so much for the wonderful information

I believe Gilgamesh was a nephilim, but not Nimrod. I think Enmerkar fits the description of Nimrod better.

This is what passes for scholarly work when you take ancient mythology and interpret it as literal history. Otherwise sensible adults believing in talking snakes, magic trees and world wide floods.

They did not go to Lebanon, they went to the Taurus Mountains, as Enki "cleared the forest all the way to the Euphrates River" it had to be in the Euphrates watershed.

There has been reference that Noah departed philippines as it was regarded place of Ophir - city of gold and garden eden (??). It is also the place Solomon visited Sheeba. There is reference in Java indonesia history that speaks of their relationship - Sama and Queen of Java, who had child called Malyka. If this is true, there stories can link the west to the far East - the Pacific. Just being metaphorical, all islands around phillipines looks like a tree (??) Taiwan the seed, phillipines the branches and java and sumatra islands the tree tops. there is also a great trench referred to link with all other trenches - referred to in bilble as the river of life (??) The story of Jonah in the bible also corresponds with a story about a pacific relative called Paikea or Kahukura (hawk/teacher). Hawk represented of speaking to gods. He was a whale rider and rainbow man as is the description given to Jonah. He provided the pathway to NZ referred to at the time as the fish of Maui. Ive been looking into this over the past two weeks because I was only made aware of the link with Solomon and Sheeba and there child Malika.

We have found bone from dinosaurs millions of years old. Why are there no bones of 17 foot tall men being found?

Thank you 👍

Noah lived for 950 years so I don't see why they couldn't all be right

Did you say mate with women on their wedding day? What???

NOAH IS DIFFERENT THEN THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH... GILGAMESH IS A COPY OF A STORY FROM OTHER STORIES And THE ADDED NOAH IS A COPY OF EARLIER BOOKS. NOAH is 120 lines... simplistic and straight forward. The versions of the gilgemesh are over 300 lines and added later in the text later around 1000 bc instead of 2000 bc. noah and the flood happened 2000 to 3000 years prior to jesus.

I feel bad for the females who had to Mate with Gilgamesh. A 17 foot giant. Erk.. wife ruined.😳.

17 or 7 feet tall? OMG.

Gilgamesh is Nimrod

Could Gilgamesh have traveled North, West, or South to find Noah?

I love the way you just make stuff up and tell it like it's true. You are a perfect representation of all things religion. Well done

Snake took the horcrux like Nagini

Gilgamesh was a fable and Christianity grew out of this fable ; fable upon fable to help humanity live and find morality. NONE of it is true except the reality of the peoples who lived in those lands and wrote those fairy stories. Sadly Iraq was recently destroyed by American Christian society thousands of years after these fables started. We have learnt nothing

Where are you getting the dates for Noah the bible dosent give fates

Interesting video. Awful sound effects though which are way too loud/unnecessary..

Does Japan have a story about ancestors who were in a flood? Do they have some connection?

Really enjoyed as you included many different faith’s beliefs

How many years had passed from the flood to the days of Peleg? Was there enough time for Noah to walk from Turkey area to Japan and back to see what the land looked like before he divided it for his descendants inheritance? could he/ would he have walked all over Russia/China; Europe/Africa?

First the egg, then the chicken

Do you mean Noah didn't just stay by the ark in the mountains? Why would he leave the safety of the ark? Would he really go all the way to Japan?

"A modern evolutionist priest". Wow. Way to go off on the deep-end by trying to equate human evolution to that of a religion. Evolution doesn't take faith to believe. Change in allele frequencies within a population throughout generations is objectively fact. Otherwise, good video.

Most annoying sound effects even. Quit video less than 2 minutes in.

gilgamesh is nimrod

None of this is in the Book of Mormon so it’s not real.

If you look at DNA, the Noah story makes no sense

Flood plains and the coast can flood pretty bad, just look at past tsunamis. Stories of survival with loved one's is common. Regardless, they're myths like your bible.
