Given that the Epic of Gilgamesh was something copy pasted to train scholars and stonemasons for centuries if not millennium, how can we be sure this is canon?
Because it was around long before cannons.
Behold my comment, unedited, with the correct number of n's and shirk away in your ill natured unsophistry.
Part of it was also the lack of canon. The ancient world didn't have "one true version" of anything, it had the version at hand. Which was usually the version that the current (local) king wanted.
