Comparing Flood Myths Utnapishtim vs Altaic Floods

Comparing Utnapishtim and Altaic Floods. First of all both floods had to do with a God telling the character to build a boat/ark and survive in their. They both let some kind of bird go at the end of the flood to see if they would bring back any sign of land. The main character in the Altaic Floods was not punished by a different God for surviving while Utnapishtim was punished by being immortal. In the Altaic floods the main character brought in animals as well as his family, Utnapishtim did not bring any animals. They are both similar and different in different ways.
