The Flood Myth — Before Noah | Heritage Metal Sign

The Sumerian flood story is at least a thousand years older than Genesis. The gods decided to destroy humanity. Enki warned one righteous man — Utnapishtim — to build a boat and take aboard every living creature. The flood came. The boat held. The water receded. A bird was released to find dry land. Offerings of gratitude were made to the gods who had tried to kill him. This story predates every other flood narrative in recorded history. When the authors of Genesis wrote their version, this story had already been told for two thousand years. Utnapishtim was first. The ark, the dove, the mountain — in aluminum.
