Many people have heard of the Great Flood and the story of Noah’s Ark in the Bible that wiped out all living creatures on the surface of the earth. ... These two stories of the Great Flood told in the Bible and Gilgamesh have many similarities as well as differences.
In the Bible, God sent the flood to wipe out the creatures of the earth. ... ”
In the story of the Bible the flood was sent to earth to punish mankind for being sinful where as in Gilgamesh the flood was sent because Enlil despised of the people. Many gods in the story of Gilgamesh converged to send the flood and in the Bible there was only one God. ...
The flood in Gilgamesh lasted for a much shorter time than the one in the Bible. The water in the Bible came from the sky as well as from the ground while the water in Gilgamesh was only rain. Also the gods in Gilgamesh seemed much more upset seeing what they had done to their people than God in the Bible did. ... However the gods in both stories regretted what they did and God in the Bible promised to never do it again.
