The Epic of Gilgamesh is, in the formal judgment of most literary scholars who have studied it, one of the oldest surviving works of literature in human history. Its origins extend back to Sumerian oral tradition that predates even the earliest cuneiform writing, though the version that George Smith discovered in Ashurbanipal's library dates to approximately the 7th century BC. The story it tells, however, was already ancient when Ashurbanipal's scribes copied it — drawing on Babylonian and earlier Sumerian versions that stretch back at least to the early 2nd millennium BC. The poem was composed in twelve tablets, each one advancing a different phase of the narrative. It begins with a description of Gilgamesh, king of the Sumerian city of Uruk, who was described as two-thirds divine and one-third human — a king of extraordinary strength, intelligence, and arrogance whose people initially feared rather than celebrated his rule. It follows his unlikely friendship with the wild man Enkidu, their shared adventures against divine monsters and supernatural forces, and then — in what forms the emotional core of the poem — Enkidu's death and Gilgamesh's subsequent confrontation with his own mortality. It was this confrontation that sent Gilgamesh on the journey that would eventually produce the flood narrative. Terrified of death and seeking immortality, he set out across the world in search of the only mortal man whom the gods had granted eternal life: a figure named Utnapishtim, who lived at the edge of the world beyond the Waters of Death. And when Gilgamesh finally found Utnapishtim and demanded to know the secret of his immortality, Utnapishtim told him the story — the story of the flood, and of how the gods had warned him and commanded him to build a boat and bring all living things aboard it. The parallels to the Genesis account are extensive and specific: a divine decision to destroy humanity, a chosen individual warned in advance, a vessel built to specific dimensions, animals taken aboard, a catastrophic flood, the sending of birds to find land, the eventual resting of the vessel on a mountain. #archaeohistories
