Mesopotamian Myth - Amaru Flood Ideas

From ther previous post about the Amaru Flood, i've developed some ideas which I could use to develop a piece of digital art on it

These are:
  • The scene with Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh visits Utnapishtim, the immortal being that survived the Flood (this being the reason he is).
  • In a Council of Gods "meeting", they decide together that they need to destroy all humans for their selfish reasons, and set out to kill through various attempts. The Seven Day flood being the last.
  • Utnapishtim, receives information froma  god about the flood. Him building the ship, taking his family on board and taking animals in.
  • Surviving the flood and the storm together with the animals. With the door closed so the water cant get in, he sends out birds to find out if the flood has ended.
  • Utnapishtim and his wife becomes immortal like the gods. After an offering to the gods
