Cuneiform tablet with the Atra-Hasis epic in the British Museum. Uta-napishtim or Utnapishtim (Akkadian: ππ£, "he has found life") was a legendary king of the ancient city of Shuruppak in southern Iraq, who, according to the Gilgamesh flood myth, one of several similar narratives, survived the Flood by making and occupying a boat.
Utnapishtim credits him with bestowing immortality upon him and his wife after they survived the flood. [125] While in Atrahasis Enlil sends the flood because of noise made by humans, no reason how it started is provided in the version of the flood myth preserved in the Epic of Gilgamesh. [88]
Enlil then boards a boat and grasping Utnapishtim's hand, helps him and his wife aboard where they kneel. Standing between Utnapishtim and his wife, he touches their foreheads and blesses them. "Formerly Utnapishtim was a human being, but now he and his wife have become gods like us. Let Utnapishtim reside far away, at the mouth of the rivers."

Urshanabi appears again on tablet XI, after Gilgamesh fails to fulfill Utnapishtim’s request to remain awake for a week. [31] Utnapishtim curses him, presumably because he brought Gilgamesh to his home, and relieves him of his duties, possibly so that no mortal can reach the shore of his domain ever again. [ 32 ]
