Exploring the Moral and Spiritual Parallels in Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh does not have a known author, yet it's the earliest recorded of human epic. The only pieces of the story survived was about the warriors and Enkidu. Like the Bible, Gilgamesh explains how the world was created and morals. In the story, it brought warnings including lustful women and accepting what the afterlife is about and the next generations.
As studying the Gilgamesh, I have discovered the king of Uruk in Sumeria discovered Mesopotamian religion. However, Ea becomes convinced to spare one single upright family. It is found he delivered a message about the flood, along with instructions for building an ark. The story contains several parallels to the story of Noah's Ark, including such details as the sending out of a

bird to check for dry land, and the landing of the ark atop mountain. These striking similarities suggest the stories of both Gilgamesh and Noah's Ark may refer to the same deity.

The culture, however, was male dominated. The traditions of the government was for male leader being assisted with the counsels. Yet, the rights of the citizens were concerned.
Their religion was polytheistic and anthropomorphic. Therefore, it means they had many gods and goddesses, and they had the appearance of immortal humans.

Showing evidence of urbanization, literacy and conception of justice. City depended on agriculture for food production. Gods including Shamash the god of the sun, Ishtar the goddess of love and war and Ea the god of water and arts were the common in polytheistic religions.
The gods were characteristic. It was believed they guided, destroyed, and fought among themselves. When Enlil, a supreme deity chooses to destroy mankind by flood. Next, Ea, a supreme deity who criticizes Enil saves Utnapishtim. He told Enlil to build a boat so that when the Flood becomes intense, he will survive at his palace. Yet, the other gods were soaked, ducking in fear around the gates.
There is gender division suggested in the culture as well. The king of gods were male, which suggests a patriarchal society where men were still powerful than women. Yet, Ishtar is a major goddess who controlled love and war, and the city of Uruk is dedicated to her. Because she controlled human nature ruled by emotion, It gave evidence that had resulted in women being more dominant with their instinct and emotions rather than reasons.
The images of the afterlife was gloomy. Researching in their way of thinking, it was determined the underworld it was dark, and all of the souls were trapped underground. From the wealthy to poor slaves, they all go to the same dark gloomy underworld. Since this look seemed sketchy over the Mesopotamian beliefs, it is still difficult to picture their view of the underworld
