The Enuma Elish flood story has never been about a “global” flood. People never seem to consider that at that point in time, Mesopotamia WAS the whole world. The flood was contained to the ancient near east alone.
I mean, we have evidence of the Younger Dryas Impact Event. It’s still just a theory because the most logical proposition is that a meteor must have hit the earth around 14,000-16,000 years ago. They theorize this because around 14,000-16,000, there was a major shift in the atmosphere of the planet. The Ice Age came to a 2,000 or so hear pinnacle, and then around 13,000 years ago; The first civilizations in the entire world started to pop up around Turkey snd Mesopotamia. . Perhaps the flood story makes sense. Videos and articles I’ve read regarding it seem to agree upon the idea that perhaps there was an eruption of multiple volcanos, which blanketed the atmosphere and caused, perhaps, some localized flooding around the Middle East and North Africa (Egypt). . I find it interesting that African tribes around what is now Chad, Sudan, Niger and Ethiopia, but was biblically known as the Lands of Cush, tell stories to this day about how the pyramids have been in North Africa for at least 10,000 years, and that they all had to flee from North Africa deeper into the continent of Africa, due to massive flooding that cascaded over Egypt and the Nile River. Generations later, when a couple thousand years or so had passed, they tried to venture back toward North Africa, only to clash with a group of people who had taken over the ruins of what we know today as Egypt. . A localized flood would make a lot of sense, a worldwide flood? Not so much. But yes, a localized flood could have been possible.
It is impossible to correctly explain a mythology. The mesopotamian mythology is way more complicated than this, you missed some important details too.
Well yeah, but this is enough to get the point across and lead those wanting more to find longer videos explaining everything in greater detail. I personally was never raised religious, and I only just started reading the Bible for my own personal reasons last year some months after I had turned 25. I’m 26 now, and I finished it in 316 days, finishing 7 days after my birthday. . I am of the belief that Jesus was based in stories of a real man around the first century, but wasn’t fully fleshed out as the character we know today until the Romans legalized Christianity in the 4th century. Something a lot of people seem to forget is the fact that the Romans sieged the City of Alexandria in 48 BCE, just one or two generations before Jesus would have been born. The Romans definitely didn’t burn the library of Alexandria accidentally, it was probably one of the main reasons they attacked Alexandria. The fact they had the largest ancient library in the world, filled with untold amounts of written knowledge. They likely sacked the library of its most valuable treasures, then burned the rest to destroy the evidence. . Now, not even 100 years later, Rome also sieged Jerusalem in 70 A.D. They took the whole city, including it’s libraries, and also took Yosef Ben Mattityahu as a traitor. Yosef stood outside the front gate to Jerusalem and called to his fellow Jews to open the gate and let the Romans walk in without conflict. Yosef Ben Mattityahu happened to also be one of the most acclaimed Jewish historians of his time. Kinda seems fishy to me that the Romans are VERY well known to have absorbed the religions of conquered nations and hybridized them with their own beliefs to make it easier to control large swaths of conquered lands. Makes a lot of sense that the Romans were fighting for hundreds of years, failing miserably to capture the Middle East, only to magically decided “We believe in a middle eastern God.” Kinda seems like Roman legalized Christianity specifically to make it easier to conquer the Middle East, no? “Oh look, we believe what you believe! Look, your God tells you to pay the imperial tax to Caesar! Come, let us rule you, for it is your God who commands us to rule you!” Kind of seems like a real man’s life and choices he made were mixed with Mesopotamian stories of Enki, the Mesopotamian Annunaki deity of Wisdom, Knowledge and Power.
It’s also way older than Greek Mythology too. The people who wrote the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Sumerian Flood Story were literally the first people in the world to write anything at all, that we know of. These stories were written at least 4,000 years ago, whereas Greek mythology was likely written sometime around the 8th Century BCE, or just 2,800 years ago. The Mesopotamian Stories honestly could have influenced many stories across that whole area. We know for a fact that the Minoans, the precursors to the Greeks, communicated with Mesopotamian kingdoms and traded with them. Greek stories, which came almost 2,000 years after the epic of Gilgamesh, could have borrowed elements from Mesopotamia.

Personally, I am of the belief that the Annunaki were extraterrestrials that came to earth to mine resources they needed for space travel. The reason we have associated Gods and Deities for thousands of years now with winged animals is because they used some kind of advanced technology to fly around the planet with ease. It could have been what we could call today a Jet Pack. That could be a very crude understanding of how it would function, but it gets the idea across. Since they couldn’t explain how these beings were flying other than with information they had present, they associated deities with different winged animals because birds are really the only creatures they knew of at the time that had the ability to fly. I really don’t think it makes sense they had actual wings of any kind, unless they were using technology to mimic wings. Who knows what the Annunaki really were/are, their biological chemistry could be absolutely incomprehensible to us. The association of deities with animals is merely a way for humans to make sense of something they can’t explain.

Kratos vs Gilgamesh would be epic af.
How about Kratos vs Nergal?
Kratos god of strength vs Ninurta God of war vs arabian Athtar the God of thounder
Gil would stomp Kratos with ease
Gilgamesh is the OG he will win
@@ermesslavoi1649 How about Kratos vs Krishna?
Every single religion, old and new, polytheistic or monotheistic, mentions the flood.
It could be the Younger Dryas event.
Yeah it's even in Sanatan Dharma(OG Hinduism)
and all point to Christianity ☝🏻
@JELO 427 Yes, we know Christians have a flood myth, too. Your religion is far from the only one
