Book excerpt: The Atrahasis Epic is one of the oldest creation and flood narratives, originally written in ancient cuneiform text and told over three tablets. This book takes the commonalities between the most well known translations and presents them in story form, as opposed to the verse format they were 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 segmented into easily digestible sections with the addition of the author's explanations, comments and observations expressed in detailed footnotes that follow and blend with the Atrahasis story.
