Flood myths

The story of the Mesopotamian flood story is very similar to the flood story of Gilgamesh and Noah's ark like every other flood story. This story is saying how this person is chosen by the gods to build an ark and the gods will kill everyone else. These stories are different because instead of building a long ark the man Atra-hasism was chosen by the gods to build a round ark which is more believable because the dimensions of Noah's ark would not have survived the flood because the ark would've twisted and split in half during the flood. In the Mesopotamian version of the flood the ark has more of a dynamic shape and wouldn't have twisted during the flood because it is round. I have read an article about this and it was kind of interestiong but I don't really like to read this sort of article because I find non - fiction boring because nothing suspenseful can happen because it is regular day life.
