Imagine the dawn of civilization, where humanity grapples with the forces of nature, the mysteries of life, and the inescapable shadow of death. 7 ancient sources will be examined in this video from 7 different traditions and 7 parts of the world, the Bronze Age Epic of Gilgamesh from Ancient Mesopotamia, Copper Age & Bronze Age Egyptian Funerary Books, which consists of Egyptian Book of the Dead, Book of Hidden Chambers, and Book of Gates, which sometimes are found together in Ancient Egyptian tombs of Pharaohs and so for the sake of keeping things simple, I will refer to this as one tradition, called Egyptian Funerary Texts. The 3rd, Prometheus Bound, written as a Play by Aeschylus in Athens in the classical period, but has its roots in ancient lore possibly going deep into copper or bronze age Black Sea Region, modern day Ukraine & Georgia, then, the 4th, the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, possibly also a bronze age tradition from the Myceneans at Eleusis, also handed down to the classical Greeks. 5th Works & Days by Hesiod from Iron Age Ionia, which is modern day Turkey, thought to have possible connections to earlier Hittite Theogonies from the region, handed down to the Ionians after the collapse of the Bronze Age. 6th The Orphic Theogony from Ancient Greece’s Classical period, thought to be rooted in ancient bronze age Thracian tradition, according to Plato & later Strabo, the Hellenes owe most of their culture to imported Thracian rites, especially Orphic tradition, which Plato himself was initiated into. And finally, 7th, the Book of Genesis from the Hebrew Bible, which in the form we have today, early Hellenistic Jewish creation epic, possibly borrows themes from all 6 mentioned, or at the very least, attempts to answer the questions that these texts propose to one another, having roots in some of the oldest literature and traditions in the world, and updated to keep with the trends of Monism & Hellenistic Cosmology, while keeping the core identity of Israel alive and in the forefront. In this video, I plan to demonstrate and explore how these 7 traditions are interrelated and how the previous 6 traditions influence the latter Genesis. I also plan to show how the major differences in these traditions reflect the vast changing of world views from time & place, but how these major themes of Sin & Mortality stay fixed, even if these traditions view these fixed moral axes in different ways. These 7 ancient sources, from 7 different places, in 4 separate languages, and spanning from 2,500 BCE to 300 BCE, rise from a timeless quest for meaning. While separated by culture and geography, these stories share a profound exploration of two universal themes: Sin/Morality & Death/Mortality. Yet, how they navigate these themes reveals the distinct worldviews of these authors and audience.

Enlil’s decision reflects the somewhat capricious nature of the gods in Mesopotamian mythology. The flood isn't portrayed as a moral judgment on human wickedness, as it is in the Book of Genesis. Instead, it’s more about the gods being inconvenienced and wanting to restore their own tranquility by reducing the noise of human activity. Enlil’s action is depicted as a divine overreaction rather than a calculated punishment for specific human sins.

In contrast to Enlil sending a flood because he was annoyed, In Genesis, Yahweh floods the world because of the sins of humans and plans to destroy and rebuild the world through his chosen servant Noah, as stated earlier, with his 7 family members.
