What similarities are there between the Gilgamesh flood account and the biblical flood account the major

One major point of clear agreement is that a global flooding disaster occurred in ancient times.Portions of the Gilgamesh are accounted be the  Chaldean Flood Tablets they have been from 2000 BC or earlier. These Chaldean tablets are from the city of Ur modern-day southern Iraq it describes how the Babylonian God Ea decided to end all life except for the ark dwellers with a great flood. Both arks were huge, although their shapes differed. Noah’s was rectangular Utnapishtim’s was square.
And Both of those arks had a single door and at least one window. During the mid-nineteenth century this complete “Epic of Gilgamesh from 650 BC was unearthed in some ruins at Nineveh’s great library, and the depth and breadth of similarities and differences became evident.
