Flood Stories

We've been reading Gilgamesh and The Bible in class recently.  The flood stories in both are strikingly similar.  There was probably a common origin to both of these stories.  Either there was an actual flood and both stories relayed the events in slightly different manners, or the Bible  was written and Gilgamesh took pieces of the story and created a similar story with the use of gods to replace the Christian belief in one God.

    The Bible would have had to taken from Gilgamesh becuase that was written first!
