“One thing I find most interesting is how the Sumerian and Mesopotamian epics mirror (oppositely) the Jewish narrative about Genesis 6 almost perfectly.”

Trying to figure out how? Enlil was tired of the noise humanity was making, Of course ‘noise’ can be interpreted as anything that was against the will of the ‘gods’, or defying their power, as mentioned in Genesis. And Enki saved Utnapishtim same as God saved Noah by instructing him to build an ark before the flood?

Also weird along those lines is how there is an ancient flood narrative in cultures around the world.

Fascinating stuff.

Here's the some of the flood myths mentioned by ChatGPT:

Mesopotamian Flood Myth (Epic of Gilgamesh): One of the earliest known flood stories, where the gods send a flood to destroy humanity, but the hero Utnapishtim builds a boat to save his family and animals.

Biblical Flood (Noah’s Ark): In the Judeo-Christian tradition, God floods the earth to purge it of wickedness, sparing Noah, his family, and pairs of each animal species.

Hindu Flood Myth (Manu): In Hindu tradition, Manu is warned of a great flood by a fish (who is an avatar of the god Vishnu), and he builds a boat to save himself and the sacred scriptures.

Chinese Flood Myth (Yu the Great): Chinese legend tells of a great flood controlled by the hero Yu, who created channels to divert the water.
