Thanks for this. Was just listening to the episode about the origins of literature and science and the 'Flood Tablet' from 7th Century BC Mesopotamian which parallels and pre-dates the Noah story in the bible. Showcasing how a common pool of legend and myth was drawn upon by ancient peoples who held very different beliefs. The plant of life stealing, talking snake also makes an appearance in the Gilgamesh epic from around that same period I believe.Originally Posted by Taunton Blue Genie
