I think the Epic of Gilgamesh as well as Gilgamesh himself were extremely influential in many popular myths that influenced nearly all epic hero tales and religions. Utnapishtim is a very popular figure related to Noah and the figure of "Nu".

I think Noah and "Nu" are just Utnapishtim himself, narrated by the Jewish mythology. I myself think Utnapishtim is actually still alive today, despite his bible counterpart supposedly dying after living hundreds of years.
