Noah's Ark, Gilgamesh and the Tomb Under the Euphrates, Step by Step

Noah's Ark and Gilgamesh: was the Bible's flood copied from the Epic of Gilgamesh, and was a tomb really found under the Euphrates? Here's the honest answer, in seven stops along the river. In 2003, archaeologists mapping the buried city of Uruk said they might have found the tomb of King Gilgamesh in the old bed of the Euphrates. It was never confirmed. So we follow the river: the king and the poem, the Flood, Nimrod the "mighty one" of Genesis 10, the Tower of Babel, the clay tablet that set off the "copied" debate in 1872, the Euphrates in the latest headlines, and where the Bible says the river story ends. Every claim is checked against Scripture, the tablets and the people who dug them up.
