In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the flood was sent by the gods to wipe out humanity. Utnapishtim was warned of the flood by the god Ea, who told him to build a boat to save himself, his family, and some animals. After the flood subsided, the boat came to rest on Mount Nisir, where Utnapishtim and his companions found land.
Noah was 600 years old when the flood waters came.
It was believed that the gods gave the pharaohs their powers to make the Nile flood for the farmers.
This is in the Epic of Gilgamesh which has a flood story that is similar to the Noahic Flood in Genesis. Utnapishtim apparently overheard the gods discussing making the flood on man. Utnapishtim advises Gilgamesh.

They made sacrifices to their Gods.

The reactions of the gods and Utnapishtim were similar in that both were displeased and sought to punish humanity.
