Are you talking about the Epic of Gilgamesh?

I don't think it's the Epic of Gilgamesh, specifically. The Epic contains a version of the flood myth, but a lot of Sumerian legends had common elements, like giant people from the sky, etc. I don't think it deals with creation itself, though.
There's a lot of speculation that Moses just ripped off elements of other cultures' creation myths when writing his own story, which explains the similarities. He was present in the Egyptian court for quite a while by all accounts, and would have had easy access to all of those resources.
