What similarities are there between the Gilgamesh flood account and biblical flood account?

What similarities are there between the Gilgamesh flood account and biblical flood account?: "Answer: There are many similarities between the Gilgamesh flood account and biblical flood account (Genesis 6–8), beginning most importantly with God choosing a righteous man to build an ark because of an impending great flood. In both accounts, samples from all species of animals were to be on the ark, and birds were used after the rains to determine if flood waters had subsided anywhere to reveal dry land. There are other similarities between the Gilgamesh flood account and biblical flood account."
