In most religions there is a story about a flood like Noah Ark, the Epic of Gilgamesh, etc.. But why is their so many? And why do they all seem similar in many ways. Well In epic of Gilgamesh and the Atrahasis great flood they are similar and different in many ways. In both stories a God warns Atrahasis and Uta-napishti and is told to build a ark to save themselves. Then he is told to brings animals or his belongings that he will use to survive. Then the flood hit and kills every living thing besides the hero and the ark. These stories are similar, but their are differences in both stories about the flood.
Atrahasis a man who was warn about a big flood and he was told to bring two of every kind of animal within the ark to bring to the new world and when the flood stopped he makes sacrificed and the Gods carried him to the new world. But in the "Epic of Gilgamesh" Uta-napishti was warn about a flood but he was never told to bring any kind of animal just stuff that he needed and the storm hit and lasted for seven days and when the storm was gone he and his wife were cursed to be immortal. In all stories about a flood in different religions and cultures they all seem to be the same and they're is no answer why these stories are similar to one another, but you can think of your own reason why.
