Episode description as stored
<p>Thousands of years before the story of Noah and the Ark, people in ancient Mesopotamia were already telling tales of a devastating divine flood. Written into the Epic of Atrahasis, this ancient story describes a man chosen to survive catastrophe by building a great boat and preserving life from destruction.</p> <p>Today, Tristan Hughes is joined by Sophus Helle to explore this legend from ancient Babylonian folklore. What does the story of Atrahasis reveal about ancient Babylonian beliefs? How similar is it to the biblical account of Noah? And why did the memory of a great flood become one of humanity’s most enduring stories?</p> <p>MORE</p><p><strong>Epic of Gilgamesh: Rise of Enkidu</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000643958083" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2d2jRbieaOFEKlH0ckFeKB?si=_ZAc6ubzSAGBIGs4zTW9Bg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify </a></p> <p><strong>Babylon's Epic of Creation</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000684877877" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6GSROyz9JstV5rUaxRjQic?si=feupdzNPSMeQdXTQ_K1C7Q" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify </a></p> <p><strong>We're going on *TOUR* to Australia and New Zealand! - grab your tickets </strong><a href="https://fane.com.au/whats-on/an-evening-with-tristan-hughes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p> <p>Presented by Tristan Hughes.
