there are a lot of flood stories from around the world and there may have been more than one boat or ark. stories about how a particular group survived the cataclysm vary but many involve boats. i don't recall that sitchin presented it as metaphorical. he presented it as utnapishtim (gilgamesh's grandfather) being a human-alien hybrid child of ea, who found a way to disobey the council decision to not warn humanity, and instructed him to build the ark.
