Bible Vs. Gilgamesh

Bible Vs. Gilgamesh

Topic: Parallels between Gilgamesh and Genesis

Looking at two different texts from different time periods and finding similarities in them can help bridge cultural lines. There are many identifiable parallels between the Mesopotamian epic Gilgamesh and the Biblical book of Genesis. By looking at these similarities we can further understand history as it relates to all people, not just religions. 
	A major parallel that can be seen is between Adam, and Gilgamesh and Enkidu. God created Adam in his own image, and ordained man to dominate over all other living things. Gilgamesh is the same, with only a few slight differences. Instead of Gilgamesh being created in the image of the gods, he was created 1/3 man and 2/3 god. Also instead of being dominating over all things he was unequaled in human attributes. Even with these differences a parallel can be identified. Adam not only parallels Gilgamesh, but he also parallels Enkidu. Enkidu and Adam were both made from the earth. Enkidu was made from clay, and Adam from dust. Both men were well aquatinted with the animals and nature that surrounded them, until women came into their lives. The harlot sent to Enkidu plays a role very similar to
