This story is one that is an alternate Noah's flood story. Although it may seem like one on the surface, the resemblance stops there. Where Noah is a man of God, the man in the Sumerian tale is a merchant who is looking out for himself. I have had Philosophy and Theology professors tell me how much of a parallel tale this is to the Noah's flood tale. The only thing I see in this that a flood happened and that it was in the general geographical area. It is an interesting tale, but that is all that it is.

My name is Eddie, and I'm the real boss around here. I read all of the books, and tell Erik what I think of them, so when you read the reviews, think of me!
