In the epic of Gilgamesh, I found it interesting that there are a large abundance of Gods. However, in the Bible there was only one almighty God. Which means that at any moment in time any god could be upset with the earth and decide to destroy it without the consent of the other gods as seen in the flood. For example, all the gods decided to unleash a great flood to destroy the world but one god helped create a boat to save as much life from the world as possible. This is similar to the Bible in the fact the Gods and the bible God are very wrathful and seek very dangerous ways to unleash their angers. Another similarity to the bible is that the use of a dove and a raven.
