Gilgamesh was a better story too, he was 2/3 god because gods can do whatever the fuck they want.
A good chunk of the stories in both bibles are based upon the Sumerian texts anyway. Gilgamesh did it all, he conquered all threats and lead the people (borrowed by Christians/Jews almost word for word in the stories of King David).
He survived the great deluge with a massive boat and helped with re-population (flood later borrowed for Noah's story).
Of course there's also Jesus who's entire biography was a dumbed down ripoff of Gilgamesh's life (Though he showed humility by only being 'half' god

There's a bunch more too including but not limited to Genesis, the idea of a sacred trinity, and which days of the year are considered holy.
