	Utnapishtim and the Great Flood
		At this point Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh "the secret of the gods" and the story of the flood - and how he was ordained a god.
		Utnapishtim builds an Ark as instructed, and gathers two of each creature on earth into the Ark. The flood comes, and after seven days, Utnapishtim releases a turtledove and a raven to find land.
		Utnapishtim was ordained a god after surviving the flood, Noah was blessed and told to replenish the earth.

		Shattered, Utnapishtim explains that his own homeworld, Anu, was destroyed by the brilliant but evil Qataka, who became obsessed with her fear of death and thus began killing people and harvesting their neurons to replace her own dying brain cells.
		Utnapishtim believed that he had destroyed her in their final battle over the Earth, but Ace reveals that she is now in Kish, and calling herself Ishtar.
		Ace compares Utnapishtim’s city-ship to Paradise Towers; it was actually Mel who visited the tower block, but in Timewyrm: Revelation, it is revealed that the Doctor accidentaly gave Ace one of Mel’s memories while restoring Ace’s memory, which he’d inadvertently deleted using the telepathic circuits.

	atrahasis.html
		Utnapishtim tells his descendant Gilgamesh the story of the flood in order to tell him why he became immortal and, in so doing, to show Gilgamesh that he cannot become immortal in the same way.
		Utnapishtim concludes his recitation with the admonition, "But now who will call the gods to Assembly for your sake so that you may find the life that you are seeking?" (Gilgamesh XI:197-98).
		This lapse is dictated by the literary format: Utnapishtim may not know the reason for the flood, or he may not record it because it is irrelevant to his purpose, which is to recount how he became immortal.

	"Two-Thirds God, One-Third Human" by Grace F. Knoche
		Thus Utnapishtim and his wife, because they had fulfilled their mission to preserve the seeds of life for posterity and had remained attentive to and trustful of the gods, became as they.
		Utnapishtim bids the ferryman take over the care of this human -- part god he may be, but he is still a man -- and allow him to cleanse and refresh himself in clear, flowing waters, and be given new garments that will show no sign of wear and toil until his return to Uruk.
		Utnapishtim then offers Gilgamesh a "hidden thing," a plant that pricks like the thorns of a rose; if he can seize and hold on to it he will attain the life he is seeking.

	The Gilgamesh legend
		Utnapishtim rescued all living things by gathering them into an ark so that they survived the Flood, and for this the gods blessed him.
		I want to suggest that what Utnapishtim did was create a model of the world, that is, a metaphorical representation of it which contained all of its vital information.
		Utnapishtim could traverse the gap between humanity and divinity, whereas Noah, who accomplished the same thing, had to remain a man and die like one.

	Sumerian Literature
		Utnapishtim, though a mortal, was allowed to live in the distance.

		His passage across the ocean to learn Utnapishtim's story of the flood is suggestive of Atlantis, since an ocean from the landmass of Europe, Asia, and Africa separated it.

	Noah, Utnapishtim, and the Flood - Worthy Boards
		Noah, Utnapishtim, and the Flood, A kinder, humbler, gentler OP.
		The relation of the story of the flood would have been passed down through the tribes after Noah, and due to the dispersion of peoples, the story would change a bit, due to the grapevine effect, but this entity, Upnapishtim is totally fictional anyway.
		Utnapishtim is saved by a god that is sympathetic to man. In the Bible God destroys the earth because of the wickedness of man and saves Noah and family because they are righteous.

	Is The Source Of Qur'an 18:60-65 The Epic of Gilgamesh?
		In order to draw a parallel between Utnapishtim and al-Khidr, Lidzbarski had claimed that the name al-Khidr was a jumbled form of the Sumerian name of Utnapishtim, "Ziusudra", and it is transcribed in German as "Chasisadra".

		In the Epic of Gilgamesh Utnapishtim is said to reside at the "mouth of the waters." The Akkadian phrase ina pi narati has also been understood to mean the "head of the waters," signifying the junction and source of the waters flowing from Dilmun, the Sumerian equivalent of the Garden of Eden.
