[QUOTE="Gene2memE, post: 77140602, member: 341130"] Most likely not. The Torah was likely written somewhere between 600 BC and 150 BC. There's two main schools of though, one of which dates the composition to around 450-350 BC and another that dates it around 330-250 BC. I tend to support the idea it was cobbled together from several different texts sometime around the end of the 5th century BC. Half right. The Epic of Gilgamesh was likely composed and first written down around 2100 to 2000 BC. It's one of the oldest texts outside of legal, religious or genealogical records, although the story itself is likely derived from at other tales recorded as early as 2300 BC, of which we have only partial records. However, the Torah is a relative newcomer. There are literally hundreds of Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese and Hindu texts that pre-date the composition of the Torah. Not just religious texts, but story-telling literature and poetry. It's likely that the oldest surviving complete play is older than the Torah. [/QUOTE]
