The whole situation is a simple Babylonian misprint.
It was really about Noah’s Shark!
Yeah, they “mis-spoke” when the carved the tablet.
The archeologists probably didn’t find the tablet where they retracted the story the next day!!
What about Noah’s Baby Shark?
Interesting that you should bring that up. Apparently in some versions of the myth the god attempting to save mankind gives directions to build a craft that is shaped more like a medicine capsule and is entirely sealed as it is intended to be able to survive being submerged at least for short periods of time.
