There was no ark, there was no gilgamesh. Gilgamesh was a popular myth told in mesopotamia. The hebrews were heavily influenced by the Babylonians before they wrote genesis. Much of genesis was based on gilgamesh and other mesopotamian myths like enuma elish, ziusudra, and atrahasis. The hebrews borrowed from other peoples mythologies because they were not an old nation.
