How Epic of Gilgamesh flood story compares to others from around the world.

In the Epic of Gilgamesh the gods send the flood because the people of the world were being to loud. In the Temuan story the gods create the flood because the people of the world are sinning and not being good to each other. I think the story of Temuan has a much more credible reason for the flood. In Gilgamesh there was only one survivor of the flood. In the story of Temuan story there are two survivors. In Gilgamesh they survive by building a giant ark. In Temuan the survivors named Mamak and Inak Bungsuk survived by an Eaglewood tree at the Royal mountain. The two survivors then used a spell to ease down the intensity of the storm and flood. Mamak Bungsuk and Inak Bungsuk are the Temuan people's version of the Adam and Eve story. In the Epic of Gilgamesh the god EA warned Utnapishtim about the flood so he could prepare. In the end the gods forgave humans and let Utnapishtim live and become immortal. They also promise never to try to wipe out humanity again. Just from doing research I found out how common flood stories are around the world and how similar some of them
