Noah's Arc?

Utnapishtim's story stunned me because it was exactly the same as the story of Noah's Arc in the Bible. It is the same story in which a god wants to flood a city, (in the Bible the whole world). one small group of people (one led by Noah and the other by Utnapishtim), manages to survive by building a huge boat and taking one pair of animals of each species so they won't be obliterated by the flood. "...abandon your house and build a boat instead...take with you, on the boat you build, an instance of each thing living so they may be safe from obliteration in the flood." (pg. 66). Still, while God wanted to purge all the world from evil humans, Enlil seemed to have no reason at all to drown Shuruppak. He seemed to be even jealous of the fortunate city. In addition, he was furious when he saw that humans had survived. In the Bible, God purposefully asked Noah to save himself and his family in reward for being good people. I definitely prefer the Bible's version of the "Great Flood".
I got a video from Fantasia 2000's version of Noah's Arc, accompanied by Pomp and Circumstance.
