Thanks fieldmarshaldj. I'm pinging this one only because it is itself fake news -- the fake parts of it are, 1 the equating of the Epic of Gilgamesh with the vignette of Noah in OT Genesis, and 2 that this is somehow a new observation. Claiming that the Bible is a plagiarized or at best derivative work is a direct or legacy consequence of the deep-seated hatred of Jews.
Ryan and Pitman took that approach in their book "Noah's Flood", which equated the Noachian Flood with the Black Sea flood. I don't think they hate Jews, merely saying that their saddling on of the phony equating of the Epic of Gilgamesh with the Noah story was amateurish and wrongheaded.
