Video Description (from Youtube)

When it was released in 2014, Darren Aronofsky’s Noah caused quite a stir as to whether it was an accurate depiction of the Biblical character of Noah. Robert R. Cargill of the University of Iowa

argues that the film is actually a combination of sources, including the pre-Biblical Mesopotamian flood narratives of Atra-hasis, Ziusudra and the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Learn about the other sources—both Biblical and post-Biblical—Aronofsky wove into the Noah movie by watching Robert R. Cargill’s “A Deluge of Flood Stories: Flood Mythology, the Bible and Aronofsky’s Noah” in Scholars Speak: The Genesis of Things today! http://store.bib-arch.org/GENESIS-OF-THINGS/productinfo/9H574/

Who was Gilgamesh?
The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic from ancient Mesopotamia. The literary history of Gilgamesh begins with five Sumerian poems about Gilgamesh. It is held that the Biblical Genesis flood narrative matches that in Gilgamesh so closely that "few doubt" that it derives from a Mesopotamian account

What is particularly noticeable is the way the Genesis flood story follows the Gilgamesh flood tale "point by point and in the same order", even when the story permits other alternatives.

In a 2001 Torah commentary released on behalf of the Conservative Movement of Judaism, rabbinic scholar Robert Wexler stated: "The most likely assumption we can make is that both Genesis and Gilgamesh drew their material from a common tradition about the flood that existed in Mesopotamia. These stories then diverged in the retelling.

Noah is the respective hero of the biblical flood legend of the ancient Near East.
