Why are There So Many Stories of Floods in the Ancient World?

There are stories of floods in the ancient Near East and in the Bible. In the past it was believed that the Bible had simply copied these stories. We now know that the truth is not so simple. Check this out!

O love these kinds of history lessons, when info from different cultures is considered and valued.

Years and years ago i thought ancient aliens was entertainment. I didnt know people were thinking it was factual. But it has permeated everything. Im so sick of the conspiracies and the far over the top tales. Can move into truth please?

[JustCalum]

It was copied, stupid to think otherwise

It's an assumption. I agree with him but it's a theological assumption.

You work for 40 years to have 1 million dollars in your retirement. Meanwhile, some people are investing just $10, 000 in a meme coin for a few months, sometimes less, and now they're billionaires. I pray that anyone reading this will be successful in life.

So you’re telling me that the flood story in the Bible isn’t a copy of one of the most famous fictional stories in history that was created by the Sumerians, that literally predates the Bible by 1000+ years??? Wow

It’s funny how people think that having a phd means that you can’t be wrong...

It was most definitely copied from origin stories . It was not writers block it was designed for their region and people written almost in a bias . I.e the 70 jewish priest that re wrote the bible from Aramaic then the other texts read 40 Jewish priests translated again from Greek texts(their language is far more in-depth with grammar. )
The stories were meant to be spiritual teachings and the importance of the encounters with the elohim or gods and in short it's basically known as the hero story which leads to ascending . So yes collective memory of history but re written into a targeted story for the most part . The flood is the 1st convent between humans and the gods or aka the divine counsel Genesis chapter 9 . Plus Noah was not even Jewish he was just part of a bloodline proven by his length of life span and family ties. As noted in the talmud ( they have definitely limited that life span now ... )
Also note the other flood stoires were the origin stories and creations of the world. And in them, you find the same women and a dragon or serpent. Note there was no internet or phones then as far as we know so very interesting stuff. They are the 1st stories I tracked after my close encounter.

Love this lesson! While there's certainly cross-cultural influence, religious texts ultimately represent distinct worldviews and spiritual frameworks. It's like like they're being paid to write novels. So in this context the concept of "copying" is absurd

It’s obvious Moses wasn’t copying it but he changed certain facts that actually happened into things that did not. This much is clear.
