For example, the biblical account of Noah and the Great Flood bears a striking resemblance to the Sumerian deluge myth , recorded in a Sumerian tablet discovered at Nippur.”

Tangential but funny story about a version of the flood story in the Epic of Gilgamesh: the scholar George Smith was in the British Museum when he translated the flood story from a cuneiform tablet. He was so excited he ran around the room tearing off his clothes.

Nothing I’ve read explains why but I like to think he was planning to take a celebratory swim.

Ugh poor kid. Fainting already sucks when it’s NOT on camera.
