When the flood comes to closure, both land their boats on mountains. Noah lands on Mt. Ararat, while Utnapishtim lands on Mt. Nisir. In Noah and the Flood, god regrets his decision of destroying mankind. Now pleased, God agrees that “never again will I doom the earth because of man...nor will I ever again destroy every living being, as I have done” (“Noah…”174). God blesses Noah and his sons and tells them to be fertile and repopulate the earth. As for Gilgamesh, he tries once more to own a long lasting life. Though he loses the sacred flower that was given to him for youth. Gilgamesh gains nothing but “he was wise, he saw mysteries and knew secret things, be brought a tale of the days before the flood”
