The Bible is hardly based on the clay tables. Genesis, the first book of Moses, tells the story of the flood, which the Sumerian refer to as Gilgamesh.

I think there is more than just the Gilgamesh story. Don't the clay tablets mention that the first man was created by a god?

AFAIK the Epic of Gilgamesh predates the Bible by thousands of years.
