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.

But I think sometimes people look at those and they overplay that. So one of the examples I often give is Advil and arsenic both come in pill form and have an A on the bottle. But it's not the similarities that matter in that case, it's the differences.

And so if you look at the differences, there are significant differences in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Upnupishtim story and the Genesis 6 story. If for another reason, then the Noah arc story is a very small part of the book of Genesis. And the story of Upnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh is a little bit more stretched out.

It has more to do with the theme of what Gilgamesh is doing in his epic. But there are obviously parallels between that because these are both ancient Near Eastern stories and they're products of their day. In the same way that I think you see parallels between some of the New Testament gospels and other ancient Greco-Roman biography.

in that these are products of ancient history, and so they're gonna look like other ancient historical writings that kind of parallel around that.

Yeah, and I think that there's an aspect of like a message that's trying to be communicated. I mean we are modern people of the Enlightenment. So we almost have a perspective where we want something to be very like exhaustive that ancient writers didn't have those same sort of conventions. So they're going to capitalize on certain –

ideas and concepts for the purpose of, when someone tells you a story, you don't memorize everything. You go to university, you write notes, right? The people who are writing everything the professor is saying word for word, probably not the people who are gonna remember what the professor says as well as the people who write down the main things.
