In that thread, some people claimed Gilgamesh copied Noah.

Ok, let's accept it that Gilgamesh and Noah are actually 2 different persons. There were 2 floods.

It is a win and win solution, the religious people are happy the historians are also happy.

Nobody copied nobody.

So actually there were 2 superheroes who survived the great flood in two different world.


So, we don't only prophet Noah, we also have prophet Gilgamesh the great.
While Noah is for Catholic/Christian, Gilgamesh is for die-hard-never-give-up-pagan.

This thread is a good reminder to search ATS before making a thread (especially if it's a scantly written one like this). When you think to yourself, 'Why hasn't anyone else come across this?' Is likely they HAVE, just you haven't come across it before!
