Are there any similarities between the Heliopolis story and the Genesis story?
Heliopolis (The City of the Sun) was a city in ancient Egypt. One of the stories that mentions this city deals with the destruction of mankind, and has a passing resemblance to the Genesis story of Noah's Flood. Noah's Flood was apparently derived from the Epic of Gilgamesh and highlights the Mesopotamian fear of great floods. However, Egyptians needed their annual flood for irrigation and welcomed the flood season; their fear was more of the desert. So, the Egyptian story has the people fleeing into the desert to escape the goddess who intended their destruction. The great god, Re prepared an intoxicant and flooded the land with it. The goddess drank the intoxicant and forgot her intention.Arguably there are minor, and no doubt coincident, similarities in the two stories. In both cases there was a flood, but the Egyptian one was beneficial, unlike the Noachic Flood. In the Egyptian story, Re saved humanity by preparing the intoxicant from ochre, while in the Genesis story, the rainbow was God's covenant.

What is the flood of Genesis?
A:The Book of Genesis describes a great, world-wide flood that killed all living things, except Noah, his family and the creatures that he took onto a boat, or Ark, that God told him to build so that he would be saved. There are so many parallels in this story to the flood in the earlier Epic of Gilgamesh, that scholars have thought that the Genesis flood story must have been adapted from the Gilgamesh flood story. However, Ian Wilson (Before the Flood) presents a well argued case for there really having been a great flood on which both accounts were based. He believes that the one event they are both based on is the inundation of what is now the Black Sea. There is evidence that rising ocean levels at the end of the Younger Dryas, around 5200 BCE, caused the Mediterranean Sea to breach the Bosphorus and flood the former fertile, low-lying plain.
What similarities are shared by the account of creation and the flood narratives?
AnswerThe biblical creation account and the biblical Flood story were both written by the same two authors: the Yahwist ('J' source) and the Priestly author ('P' source). However, in the creation account the Priestly story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) is kept quite separate from the earlier Yahwist story (Genesis 2:4b-2:25), but in the Flood story, they are interwoven, thus making it less apparent that there are really two stories there.
