* - '''Epic of Gilgamesh vs. the Bible's account of Noah:''' "Although the Bible does not specify the exact length of time Noah spent building the ark, the account allows for construction that took 50 or 60 years. '''Genesis 5:32; 7:6''' These factors stand in stark contrast with the well-known story found in the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh. The epic describes a massive, ungainly (''non sea worthy'') cube (''which would have repeatedly flipped over'') some 200 feet [60 m] on each side that was built in only seven days. Unlike that Babylonian legend, the Bible’s Deluge account engenders confidence in its accuracy." - The Awake February 08, 1997, page 27.
