is it the sumerians, Akkadians or was it someone else?

AS Gilgamesh was a semi-divine king of Erech, a city of southern Babylonia, and the hero of many epic tales, including one of which tells of a flood that covered the earth, it is not surprising that there would be collection of mythic tales written of him in Babylon.

This is where some of the tribes of Israel went to (Sumaria) after they departed from Judah and Benjamin,.....they took the flood text with them along with the rest. This is why the Parable of the Good SAMARITAN was emphasized in the teachings of Christ because many of the tribes relocated there.
We must pay attention to these kind of details and the history backlog, otherwise we will always fall short of many understandings. Peace

I believe it was the Babylonians, and the story was unearthed at Ninevah.
