Gillgamesh - Tablet 11 - Reading

In the final tablet of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Utanapishtim tells the story of the great flood, a version of the same myth recounted many centuries later in Genesis Books 6-9. The version here is taken from a yet-earlier epic, the Atrahasis, and has been traced back to the flooding of the city of Shurupak around 2800 BCE. The similarities between the version here and the much later biblical version are striking. This tablet also involves an unfortunate encounter with a snake, and marks both the culmination of Gilgamesh's quest for immortality and his rather melancholy return to the walls of his own city of Uruk after venturing to the furthest limits of human experience.
