No, he ordered the men living in the city to build it and the wives made the men food and they never got any breaks. Hope this was helpful! :)
In the Epic of Gilgamesh, gods reveal the coming flood to Utnapishtim, a wise man who built an ark to save creations. Gilgamesh learns about the flood through dreams and seeks out Utnapishtim to learn the secret of immortality.
According to biblical accounts, Noah lived before Gilgamesh. Noah was a figure in the Bible who built an ark to save his family and animals from a great flood, while Gilgamesh was a legendary figure in Mesopotamian literature that likely dates to around 2100 BC.
The story of the flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh is both older than and remarkably similar to the story of Noah's Ark. It is very possible that the story of Noah's Ark came out of Gilgameshand many scholars believe that to be the case. Others believe that Gilgamesh is not actually the predecessor to the story of Noah's Ark, but that they both evolved from a common, even earlier legend.
Noah, a human, built the ark.
I think God told Noah to build the ark. Haven't you ever heard of Noah's Ark? It's a Bible story I think.
It was built on land.
While there are similarities between the Epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Noah's Ark in the Bible, they are considered separate stories from different cultural traditions. The Epic of Gilgamesh is an ancient Mesopotamian myth from around 2100 BCE, while the story of Noah's Ark is part of the Hebrew Bible and dates back to around 500 BCE. Both stories involve a great flood, but they are not direct precursors to each other.

Yes, according to the Bible, it rained before Noah built the ark.
Noah built the ark in Genesis 6:14. It's known as "Noah's Ark" If you are referring to the 'Ark of the Covenant' built in Moses' time, then this was built by Bezaleel the son of Uri. This is mentioned in Exodus 31:1-11.
AnswerIf Noah's Ark ever existed and has survived the depredations of time, people could look for and find it. The faithful could then come to see it, knowing it to be evidence of biblical accuracy after all. But scholars say that the story of Noah's Ark is really a reworking of a somewhat similar story in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Just as the flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh was only a legend, so is the biblical Flood. There was no Noah's Ark, so no one will ever see it.
according to the bible it is Noah who build an ark .
