Answer Details
Gilgamesh Epic is the Babylonian equivalent of the biblical story of the flood. In the epic, the gods decide to destroy humanity with a flood, and the hero, Gilgamesh, is instructed by the god Ea to build an ark and save himself, his family, and the animals. The similarities with the biblical story of Noah's ark are striking, and it is believed that the story of the flood was a common mythological motif in the ancient Near East.
