Gilgamesh's supposed historical reign is believed to lie within the period 2700 to 2500 BCE, 200-400 years before the earliest known written stories. The discovery of artifacts associated with Agga and Enmebaragesi of Kish, two other kings named in the stories, has lent credibility to the historical existence of Gilgamesh (Dalley 1989: 40-41).[1]
Some aspects of the Gilgamesh flood myth seem to be related to the story of Noah's ark
Ur exists, along with other places that he traveled.

Snakes these days really shed their skins. Which is like the story of Gilgamesh when he traveled far and wide to find the plant that gives immortality. The snake ate the plant while he was washing at the river. That's why snakes can be young again. So the shedding thing is true.

The city of Uruk really existed. You could find some pictures of the ruins, for example. Also, the flood also appears in the Old Testament...

The Biblical story of Adam and Eve has its roots in the Gilgamesh epic.

If you could go to Iraq as a tourist, you could still visit the ruins of Ur and other old cities of his times.
