Vlogs We Love: Gilgamesh and the Flood

Jun 2, 2022Vlogs We Love0 comments



In today’s video, we examine the genesis and development of one of the world’s oldest Mythological figures, the legendary King of Uruk, Gilgamesh, and the Epic that bears his name. Along the way we’ll explore over 2000 years of history, culminating in an examination of the origins of the Mesopotamian flood myth, which continues to echo in modern religions to this day.

This video owes a special thanks to archaeologist Dr Geoff Emberling, who kindly allowed me to use a number of his photos of Iraq. You can find more information on his research activities in the links below:
