The Atrahasis Epic is one of the oldest creation and flood narratives translated from ancient cuneiform text and told over three tablets. This book takes the commonalities of the most known translations and presents it in story form, as opposed to the verse format it was originally translated into. The epic is offered as an easy to read representation of both the ancient creation and flood stories synonymous with the Genesis accounts. For further understanding of the ancient Epic the story is also segmented into easily digestible sections with the addition of the authors explanations, comments and observations expressed in detailed footnotes that follow and blend with the Atrahasis story.
