    comparing the details of each they are very different. The flood of Gilgamesh was written before 2000 B.C.‚ while the Genesis story was written much later than the Gilgamesh flood. In both versions something angers God or the gods. “The uproar of mankind is intolerable and sleep is no longer possible by reasons of the babel.” This is the main reason the gods in Gilgamesh decide to send the flood on the people.
