What are some of the myths that can be compared and contrasted to the story of Noah's Ark?
The most important myth is the story of Enlil, known in its earliest form from the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. The biblical story of Noah's Ark actually consists of two separate and sometimes contradictory stories woven together. The version attributed to the 'Yahwist' is closer to the Sumerian original, whereas the version attributed to the Priestly author contains Babylonian influences, demonstrating that the Epic had evolved as it passed from culture to culture over the centuries.
The verses attributed to the Yahwist are: Genesis 6:5-8, 7:1-5, 7:7, 7:10, 7:12, 7:16b-17, 7:22-23, 8:2b-3a, 8:6, 8:8-12, 8:13b, 8:20-22.
The verses attributed to the Priestly author are: Genesis 6:9-22, 7:6, 7:8-9, 7:11, 7:13-16a, 7:18-21, 7:24, 8:1-2a, 8:3b-5, 8:7, 8:13a, 8:14-19, 9:1-17.
