I have recently just read the "Epic of Gilgamesh" in English class. In this story there is a part where it tells of a great flood similar to the one noted in the Bible.  These two floods are alike in many ways.  Both floods destroyed humanity for different reasons.  In both floods there were birds set off to see if the flood had settled, and two of each creature boarded a similar ark in each story.  The general background of each story is very similar, where a man and his family are chosen to build an ark to survive a great flood.
