The Epic of Gilgamesh is very interesting to Christians because it is very similar to Noah and his ark in the bible. In both events, a great flood takes place.
A flood destroys most of mankind except for those on the ark. These floods represent rebirth, a new beginning for mankind and the gods or God's wrath. God decided it would rain on Earth for forty days and forty nights and the flood would last 150 days.
The gods cry in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Their tears became rain and last for six days and nights.
