Gilgamesh is Nimrod<br />
This stone relief of eighth century BC found at Khorsabad, is identified as<br />
Gilgamesh. The best-known of ancient Mesopotamian heroes, Gilgamesh<br />
was k<strong>in</strong>g of Uruk <strong>in</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn Mesopotamia. His story is known <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
poetic Gilgamesh Epic, but <strong>the</strong>re is no historical evidence for his exploits<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> story. He is described as part god and part man, a great builder and<br />
warrior, and a wise man <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> story. Dr. David Liv<strong>in</strong>gston, Associates for<br />
Biblical Research suggests Gilgamesh is to be identified with Biblical<br />
Nimrod (Genesis 10:8-12).<br />
What Josephus says here is precisely what is found <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Gilgamesh<br />
epics. Gilgamesh set up tyranny, he opposed YHWH and did his utmost<br />
to get people to forsake Him.<br />

say about Genesis 10:9,<br />
