The story of Utnapishtim, the hero of the flood myth, can also be found in the Babylonian Epic of Atrahasis.

This account matches the flood story that concludes the Epic of Atrahasis ( see also Gilgamesh flood myth ).

This explains why the name Atrahasis occurs in the Gilgamesh flood story even though the character is introduced as Utnapishtim.

The similarities between the story of Noah's Ark, the Sumerian story of Ziusudra, and the Babylonian stories of Atrahasis and Utnapishtim are shown by corresponding lines in various versions:

Tablet III of the Atrahasis Epic contains the flood story.

The Epic of Atrahasis provides additional information on the flood and flood hero that is omitted in Gilgamesh XI and other versions of the Ancient Near East flood story.

The flood story in the standard edition of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Chapter XI may have been paraphrased or copied verbatim from a non-extant, intermediate version the Epic of Atrahasis.

These lists also make no mention of Atrahasis under any name.

The names Ziusudra and Atrahasis is also associated with him.

In the later Legend of Atrahasis, Enlil, the king of the gods, sets out to eliminate humanity, whose noise is disturbing his rest.

In the Mesopotamian epics, Atrahasis ( Utnapishtim ) is glorified as a hero for his epic deeds of building and loading the ark, whereas Genesis simply says, “ Noah did all that the LORD commanded him .” Obedience to God, not human courage, is the focus in the later Genesis narrative.

The Babylonian myth of Utnapishtim ( meaning " He found life ", presumably in reference to the gift of immortality given him by the gods ) is matched by the earlier Epic of Atrahasis, and by the Sumerian version, the Epic of Ziusudra.

In its most complete surviving version, the Atrahasis epic is written on three tablets in Akkadian, the language of ancient Babylon.

The parallels-both similarities and differences-between Noah's ship and that of the Babylonian flood hero Atrahasis have often been noted.

The oldest known copy of the epic tradition concerning Atrahasis can be dated by colophon ( scribal identification ) to the reign of Hammurabi ’ s great-grandson, Ammi-Saduqa ( 1646 – 1626 BCE ), but various Old Babylonian fragments exist ; it continued to be copied into the first millennium BCE.

These new texts greatly increased knowledge of the epic and were the basis for Lambert and Millard ’ s first English translation of the Atrahasis epic in something approaching entirety.

Likewise, the Gilgamesh XI flood text provides additional information that is missing in damaged portions of the Atrahasis tablets.

He successively sends drought, famine and plague to eliminate humanity, but Enki thwarts his half-brother's plans by teaching Atrahasis how to counter these threats.

Each time, Atrahasis asks the population to abandon worship of all gods, except the one responsible for the calamity, and this seems to shame them into relenting.

Enki does not tell Atrahasis directly, but speaks to him in secret via a reed wall.

He instructs Atrahasis to build a boat in order to rescue his family and other living creatures from the coming deluge.

The earliest written flood myth is found in the Mesopotamian Epic of Atrahasis and Epic of Gilgamesh texts.

It is made of " gopher " wood, a word appears only here in the entire bible, and is divided into qinnim, a word which always refers to birds ' nests elsewhere, leading some scholars to amend this to qanim, reeds, the material used for the boat of Atrahasis, the Babylonian flood-hero.

Noah's is a rectangle, while Atrahasis was instructed to build his in the form of a cube ; Atrahasis has seven decks with nine compartments on each level, Noah has three decks, but is not given any instructions on the number of compartments.

Akkadian Atrahasis (" extremely wise ") and Utnapishtim (" he found life "), as well as biblical Noah (" rest ") are similar heroes of flood legends of the ancient Near East.

The significance of Ziusudra's name appearing on the WB-62 king list is that it links the flood mentioned in the three surviving Babylonian deluge epics of Ziusudra ( Eridu Genesis ), Utnapishtim ( Epic of Gilgamesh ), and Atrahasis ( Epic of Atrahasis ) to river flood sediments in Shuruppak, Uruk, Kish et al.

The Akkadian Atrahasis Epic tells how the god Enki warns the hero Atrahasis (" Extremely Wise ") to build a boat to escape a flood.

According to one scholar, the Epic of Atrahasis tablet III iv, lines 6 – 9 identifies the flood as a local river flood: " Like dragonflies they bodies have filled the river.

It should be noted, however, that most other authorities interpret the Atrahasis flood as universal.

A. R. George, and Lambert and Millard make it clear that the gods ' intention in Atrahasis is to " wipe out mankind ".

The Epic of Atrahasis provides additional information on the flood and flood hero that is omitted in Gilgamesh XI and other versions of the Ancient Near East flood myth.

At lines 6 and 7 of tablet RS 22. 421 we are told " I am Atrahasis.

There is, of course, nothing new about dystopias, for they belong to a literary tradition which, including also the closely related satiric utopias, stretches from at least as far back as the eighteenth century and Swift's Gulliver's Travels to the twentieth century and Zamiatin's We, Capek's War With The Newts, Huxley's Brave New World, E. M. Forster's `` The Machine Stops '', C. S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength, and Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, and which in science fiction is represented before the present deluge as early as Wells's trilogy, The Time Machine, `` A Story Of The Days To Come '', and When The Sleeper Wakes, and as recently as Jack Williamson's `` With Folded Hands '' ( 1947 ), the classic story of men replaced by their own robots.
