Ancient Great Flood Stories

The story of a Great Flood sent by God or the gods to destroy civilization as an act of divine retribution is a widespread theme among many ancient cultures. It is best known from the biblical story of Noah, but there are several other famous versions.

Many of the world's cultures past and present have stories of a Great Flood that devastated earlier civilizations. While not all flood stories are the same, the description of the destruction of the world by water is a common theme in many religions and cultures. Most flood stories include an angry God or deity, and a catastrophic water event that destroys the world but is only survived by a chosen few.

I just finished The Lost Book of Enki and I am sooo glad I found this presentation.
I'm 70 something now and I dearly wish I'd found this commentary when I was 20.
Thank you.

Enki "let me just talk to the wall" what a dude😎

[debbiebell]

Loved it, and always love how you tell the stories. I can't seem to get enough of our ancient history.

Happy Australia Day! Many of us were raised on the Tiddiluk story , that was so nice to get an Aussie shoutout to our indigenous people who, not to get political here, were invaded on this day. Its nicknamed "invasion day" for fair reasons too.
Love this video 🤘💜🇦🇺

Enki informed the wall! 🤩 I'm having gigglefits over here. 😂 I love how you gather all the information and put them together in one place.

If the flood that is spoken of was 10, 000 years prior to the writing of the epic or the events of Gilgamesh, perhaps this was simply one flood that occurred but not the only. The Younger Dryas impact over North America during the ice age, would have caused another catastrophic flood, as the impact would have melted and vaporized the glacier in that region which was reported as being up to 2 miles thick. Fascinating...

i LOVE this topic. So far, there is no Great Flood myth in Egypt, despite the Bible and Egypt being so closely tied together. ....However, there is a Great Flood myth in Egypt that most do not realize: The very first story in Egyptian Creation is the ancient god called Atum stepping on land to separate the land and sky, Shu and Tefnut, after the Waters of Chaos (the Flood). Because of Syncretism, the acts of Atum were given credit to Amun-Ra.

Your voice soothes my soul ! Awesome work as usual! Thank you for your work! Much love and blessings 💞

[RogerThunderhandsGilbert]

A mountain of hope in a sea of discontent! Thanks for the lifeline!

[ThePreyMantas]

Great organization of the associated world accounts, some of which were obviously fanciful fictionalized characters, and some of enlightened commonsense depictions of more than likely realistic events that we can easily surmise plausible truths. Thanks for sharing your efforts, insights & good reasonable deductions. Very enjoyable and provocative...

Maybe the talking to a wall (rather than speaking directly) may have to do with the ancient hieroglyphs/writings that are written on the walls all around the world. Just a thought.

[marialane]

Again, utmost fascinating and impeccably done! Thank you! On a simple side note, I don’t think I like Enlil. However, in the end, he appears to bestow humanity with an aspect of Divinity. That is why we are referred to as Human BEINGS. We are Gods, although the few elites have kept that powerful information hidden. We’re just waking up now. 🙏

Thanks for your tireless work . we appreciate it

This should be taught in schools. It’s very interesting 🤔.
