Gilgamesh Flood vs. Bible Flood

The similarities between Utanapishtum's account of the flood and Noah's flood are quite prominent: 
 1) They both have the doves leaving and not returning
 2) The chosen family to survive the flood
 3) The gods/God being angry then feeling sorry for acting so rash
 4) The saving of the pairs of animals
 5) The Wooden Ark
 6) Annihilation of entire population
