We know a flood happened in the ancient world, but what are the details surrounding the deluge? Ancient civilizations had their own stories for how and why this event occurred. In Genesis 6 we read the account of Yahweh bringing on the flood after the horrors of man's wickedness and the Nephilim crimes against humanity reach the gates of heaven. But this isn't the only flood narrative we have from the ancient world. In this episode, Jeff & Shelby discuss other flood narratives from the ancient Mesopotamian world including the story of Gilgamesh and Atrahasis.    Sources: Merriam Webster Dictionary: Polemic The Lost World of the Flood by Tremper Longman III & John H.
