Why do people try to find relationships between these?
The Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, composed about 2500 BC, contains a ark story almost exactly the same, with a few variations such as the number of days, the order of the birds, and the name of the mountain on which the ark rests. What is particularly noticeable is the way the ark story follows the Gilgamesh ark tale \""point by point and in the same order\"", even when the story permits other alternatives.[11]
