Epic of Gilgamesh, Santigui Tounkara

The Epic of Gilgamesh was a more interesting story than the Genesis I tought so. There was more detail and more background in the epic of Gilgamesh than in the Genesis.Gilgamesh was sent by the gods to save his civilization just like Noah in Genesis.However, Gilgamesh was half human half god whereas Noah was only human. Just like in the Genesis, Gilgamesh was seen as a leader or an hero.Although, the purposes of Gilgamesh to save his civilization is defferent than in the Genesis. In the Genesis, Noah had to clean the earth of corrupted humans and the evil where in Gilgamesh, he had to clean up the earth because the earth was too populous and also for the fun of doing it.
