In this tablet of Gilgamesh, I had discovered that the story that Utnapishtim was telling Gilgamesh, was one that we had read last year in Social Studies. Also, I can make an inference, that most of the events that occurred in this epic, bear a lot of resemblance, to Noah's Ark, in the Bible!
The only question now is, what came first? I can understand how Utnapishtim came to sail out the flood, but I do not understand on how he deserved to recieve the power of inmortality? It was just a clever trick, after all!
Well, thats it for this blog post! Until the next one! Bye!
