In the Babylonian epic of gilgamesh it speaks of a Thunderbird perched in the branches of a tree and the-snake-who-knows-no-charm who nests at the roots. Is this comparable to the eagle which sits in the branches of yggdrasil and the serpent Níðhöggr who gnaws at the roots of the world tree?

It's a prophecy that the best country in the earth The United States of America is coming.
>>1438703
Could be. Could be that is just something that was common in ancient history

How often is this excuse used when studying history? Oh yeah it's just a coincidence that a flood myth exists in tales from Africa to the Levant to mesopotamia to Asia to the Americas. It's just a coincidence that Asian myths claim there were 8 immortals who survived a flood when the exact same number existed (8 people) in the Hebrew myth of Noah and his sons and their wives. It's just a coincidence that giants (titans/nephilim) resulted from the copulation of heavenly beings and earthly beings.
Sorry but I do not buy it, no matter how many PHDs and certificates and experience historians and scientists have. They are sworn into upholding the status quo, no matter how untruthful it is.

When you consider there are thousands of different mythologies, you're bound to find similarities between some. It's only spooky if you ignore all the ones that don't.

Isn't it a single Chinese one?

Is this tree in Epic of Gilgamesh a world tree? Or any kind of special tree.

Don't fucking all indo-european myths and mythologies have the literal same exact shit with different names
All it proves is that these legends are old as fuck and people have been going around spreading them for a long time

Flood legends may also be perfectly explained by the Ice age so I don't see why it would nescessarially cause any problem for scientists.

Floods happen all over the world and the world's flood myths aren't really similar, there's no reason to assume they have a common origin
>It's just a coincidence that giants (titans/nephilim) resulted from the copulation of heavenly beings and earthly beings
Titans didn't.
>>1439644
Nordic giants didn't either.
The whole world was actually created from the body of a giant.

Not really, aside from some memes or tropes they have surprisingly little in common.

Also to the eagle that eats the snake over a catcti above a lake from the Aztecs.
