Flood Tablet
The Flood Tablet, was an Assyrian record of a flood that wiped out a lot of life and crops. they attributed this disaster to the gods because they couldn't understand what had happened. The reason they thought life had continued after this horrible flood is that a man named Ut-napishti, just like the christian noah, took two of every animal onto a giant boat he made and sailed off in the flood. at this point in time humans had no understanding of what a natural disaster was or the reasoning behind one so they of course said that the gods did it because they were angry.
