I made them all embark.
I then embarked, and closed the door.
As soon as a gleam of dawn shone in the sky,
The skies darkened, black clouds gathered;
Inside them Adad thundered.
Soon all light had turned to darkness;
Brother could recognize brother no more,
The animals of the skies can no longer see each other.”
Utnapishtim then describes the onslaught of the storm which generated sheer, all-out terror in the ship. Following that,
“For six days and nights
Wind and flood marched on,
The holocaustic wind overwhelmed the land.
When the seventh day dawned,
The ill wind was stilled; the oceans, – the flood – Which had waged war like an army, was ceased. I opened the window, and beheld the devastation, And all mankind was turned into mud!
As high and as flat as the rooftops lay the swamp!
And thousands of dead –
Of man, and beast, and cattle –
Lay floating in the mire!”
He then proceeded to describe the bumping into the mountain, the releasing of the three birds, the bringing back of the leaf; followed by disembarkation, the building of an altar, and more.

Addendum
Since going to press, an astronomer in Australia named Dr. Arthur Blesse has observed a progressing phenomena which he has no idea is directly related to the next cataclysm. He has observed, through monthly measurements of the Sun’s surface temperature over the past five years, that the Sun’s temperature is decreasing at a rate which predicts that it will go completely out by 1999 or 2000. What he cannot predict is that it will reignite very shortly thereafter.
What he has discovered is an authentication of the start of the next cataclysm, predicted in The Adam and Eve Story through scientific rationale, and by Nostradamus, Cayce, and Scallion through clairvoyance.
What Dr. Blesse predicts actually is the short period of time of utter, utter darkness, with the Sun completely out, which Utnapishtim describes on page 101, first paragraph. It’s interesting that Blesse authenticates the extremely unusual, black darkness which Utnapishtim describes as immediately following daybreak!
