You see that?
Zayasudra, according to the tablets, is the last king of Sharupak.
okay, that we were just looking at.
And it's described that he's what all religions based the character on Noah on, all of them.
All Hebrew and Christian traditions based themselves loosely, I'm gonna emphasize loosely, on the original stories of what Zayasudra, his life, okay?
No, there was not two of every animal, all that stuff was rewritten and added later.
That's not what the tablets say.
What they actually say is that,
zayasudra is a great sage and a king of shurupak and he's warned by his patron god enki that a great disaster is going to come that is going to wipe out the old world but the anuna anunnaki the gods the pantheon gods made a pact that they're not supposed to tell anyone no humans are supposed to know that this disaster is coming because they want to wipe them all out
That's what the story is.
It's from the Atrahasis and the Epic of Gilgamesh, both of them.
They tell the same story.
They completely overlap.
So, Zayasudra is warned by Enki of this catastrophe.
So, he is told to build this ark.
We all know that story, right?
And he lands up in the Mount Ararat region.
Well, that's where all the tablets break off and fracture.
We never, ever find out what happens again.
There's no tablets that exist beyond that point.
