:’) It’s not fair (or sensible) IMHO to claim that, of all the dozens of Flood stories, ONLY that of the Bible was “stolen” from someone else. But that’s how some people are.

There’s a phony story (simple to find on the various Jew-bashing and pro-Holocaust websites) that Moses in the bullrushes was lifted verbatim from Sargon of Agade, who was indeed earlier — but the fact is that the text so often quoted (or misquoted) is some six or seven hundred years more recent than Moses, IOW, if borrowing went on, it was from the Jews to the Assyrians. :’)
