As in the Days of Noah

In this report from London's British Museum, I take you on a search for four small but significant ancient tablets that contain Mesopotamian flood stories dating to around 2000 BC. Though tiny and hard to find amid the museum's massive collection, these clay artifacts tell powerful stories that parallel the biblical flood account. Instead of Moses copying from these earlier accounts as skeptics claim, I show how biblical chronology suggests these elaborate Babylonian stories are actually embellished versions of the original events recorded in Genesis. The Gilgamesh tablet's detailed flood description—with its boat, seven-day storm, mountain landing, and bird releases—contains remarkable similarities to Noah's account. I connect these ancient tablets to Jesus' warning that the End Times would resemble "the days of Noah"—a sobering reminder that our world today, with its moral corruption and technological ambitions to alter human life, increasingly mirrors the world God once judged with a flood.
