i really don't know where you count sentences on the flood myth in the epic of gilgamesh the tablet section is longer than any other and has far more than sentences you are again right in saying this article is not about flood myths in general that's the deluge mythology article this article's purpose is to show how this flood story diverges from a preferred reading derived from the atra hasis version a river flood a certain barge etc what would be a compare and contract is divided into two sections sentences copied and material altered and doesn't include any other versions all this article does is present arguments against how the gilgamesh episode differs from the atra hasis flood story and its unique reading as presented in the alternative translations section this page should simply be redirected to the epic of gilgamesh
