Atrahasis: This Flood Story PREDATES Noah's Ark! [Animated]

Published 2020-04-14
The ancient flood story The Epic of Atrahasis predates the writing of Noah's Ark by hundreds of years. Watch this animated retelling of that very story.

In this video I tell the story of an 18th Century BCE Flood story: The Epic of Atrahasis. Like the Epic of Gilgamesh it has many similarities to Noah's Ark. The story is about how the gods created humans to serve them but became fed up with the noise that humans created. So they send a great flood to wipe them all out. However one family was saved, Atrahasis, who build a boat and saved many animals on board.

    This doesn't just predate the Noah story from the Bible. It predates the story that predates it. The story of Utnapishtim from the epic of Gilgamesh. And even this is based on an even older story about a character named Ziusudra. We only have fragmentary parts of that but it involves loading animals on a boat to preserve life from a flood caused by angry gods.

    2348 BC is the date for Noah's Flood according to some. The Atrahasis Flood is dated circa 2900 BC. that is to say roughly 600 years earlier than Noah's flood. How so? Atrahasis, the Mesopotamian Noah, is in the town of Shuruppak, (modern Tel Fara, in Iraq) on the Euphrates River when warned by his god (Sumerian Enki, Babylonian Ea) to build a boat to preserve the seed of man and animals for a post flood restoration of life on a flood destroyed World. That site was excavated in 1931 and found to have existed from circa 3000 BC to 2000 BC.It had only one flood layer, circa 2900 BC of a flooding Euphrates river, leaving a deposit of river laid silt about 2 feet deep. There was NO deposit from circa 2348 BC (there was NO Noah's Flood deposit). Archaeologists concluded, based on the flood silt evidence, that the Atrahasis Flood was a greatly exaggerated myth, the world's mountains had not been flooded. The Shurrupak flood of 2900 BC happened Before Gilgamesh became a king at Uruk circa 2600 BC, and before Moses wrote about Noah's flood circa 1446 BC. To date, one of the oldest sites is ancient Jericho, near the Dead Sea. It was founded circa 9500 BC and finally abandoned circa 587 BC. NO FLOOD DEPOSIT exists at Jericho for any period of time, from 9500 BC to 587 BC, and Jericho is below sea level! This is proof Noah's flood is a myth and never happened. For details google Mattfeld Noah's Flood.
  • @Not_really
    Great summary of an epic. Thanks for putting this together !
  • @tracyensleyharp
    I’m seeing confusion about how this relates to the Noah’s ark story in the Bible. I wonder if maybe in the description you could make it more clear? I read it (and watched in full) and if this was my first video from you I would not know what to assume.

    i don't know why Hollywood doesn't produce movies about the Iraqi old civilazation!

    I wish your channel was watched more

    Wonderful upload! The Anunnaki Nuclear War has its origins in the disagreement between the Anunnaki Alien Gods over whether the ‘Adam’ Prototype they had created using Enki’s expertise in Genetics by merging Anunnaki Alien DNA with that of a Hominid found on the African Plains should be able to reproduce.

    I choose to believe all flood myths happened at the same time, because all the pantheons of the gods had to come together to flood the earth. My headcannon
