The Gilgamesh Epic and Old Testament Parallels
Summary
Cuneiform records made some 3000 years ago are the basis for this essay on the ideas of death & the afterlife & the story of the flood which were current among the ancient peoples of the Tigro-Euphrates Valley. With the same careful scholarship shown in his previous volume, The Babylonian Genesis, Heidel interprets the famous Gilgamesh Epic & other related Babylonian & Assyrian documents. He compares them with corresponding portions of the Old Testament in order to determine the inherent historical relationship of Hebrew & Mesopotamian ideas.
