Tablet 11 Gilgamesh response

This tablet has reminded me of how old the story was written and how it has become the source of our belief and imagination. For example, the story about the flood sounds alike to the story about “Noah’s ark”. Since Gilgamesh was written before than the Hebrew bible, I believe the story of Noah was somehow influenced by Gilgamesh. I have also seen the term abyss in many medias, such as movies and Japanese cartoons.
It is incredible to know that many of our beliefs about god and the world are originated from the Mesopotamian mythology or culture. I was surprised by the fact that even though technology and ideas has changed a lot throughout the history, our belief about our existence and god haven’t changed that much.
