The story of Noah and the flood follows closely the story of Utnapishtim on Tablet 11 of the Epic of Gilgamesh. Umapishtim revealed that the gods had been planning to destroy the earth with a flood. One god had taken pity and advised Umapishtim to abandon his possessions, build a seven-tiered ship, and take with him the seed of all creatures. Umapishtim did so, and after seven days, the ark landed on a mountain and he sent forth a dove. Humanity was saved.
Other archaeological findings, less completely preserved, suggest that this Gilgamesh chapter was borrowed from even earlier Sumerian sources.
