And how certain readings are related to one another, which has allowed us to do things like look at fourth century manuscripts and actually see that their readings come hundreds of years earlier in other manuscripts that we have in collections.

So one of the clearest examples of this is there's a manuscript in the fourth century called Codex Vaticanus because it happens to be in the Vatican right now. And there is a manuscript from the second century which has the exact same scribal conventions that Codex Vaticanus does in particular readings.

And so we know for a fact that the scribes who created Vaticanus did not have, I think it's P75, which is a papyrus 75, but they had some sort of collection of manuscripts that were similar. And so we can have confidence that the readings, although they're fourth century in particular areas of Codex Vaticanus, are actually second century in their origination.

And a large part of this is because of these like models that the computers got involved in.

Yeah. How close is it? In some ways, it's very close, and in other ways, it's not. So that's the story of Upnupishtim, which is kind of a side story in the Epic of Gilgamesh, where Gilgamesh realizes his mortality and he's trying to find eternal life.

And there's this guy, Upnupishtim, who he runs into, who tells him this story of the gods gifted him with eternal life because he saved all the animals on a boat. And so there are actually parallels between that and say the Genesis 6 Noah arc story in like making a big boat, putting all the animals on it, and then they get off and they make a sacrifice to, in his case, the gods in the Bible God.

And I think what you're looking at there is probably a cultural remembrance of something that did take place. And so you have these adjacent cultures who they're existing within this framework of the ancient Near East. And you're seeing these kind of parallel echoes of things that actually did happen. So there are definite parallels.
