The Epic of Gilgamesh was written down around 2100 BCE — humanity's first bestseller had a flood story too 👀
A Sumerian king searches for immortality, fights monsters, loses his best friend, and learns that death is inevitable. Sound familiar? The flood narrative in Tablet XI parallels Genesis so hard that scholars have been arguing about it for 150 years. Regardless of where you land on that, this is legit the oldest great work of literature we have.
