Final answer:
The story from the Epic of Gilgamesh where Ut-Napishtim sends out a dove, a swallow, and a raven to find out if the flood waters have receded is mistakenly referenced with the name 'utna.' The raven does not return, indicating that the land is drying.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question seems to be about a story involving a character named Ut-Napishtim from the Epic of Gilgamesh, who sends out birds to see if the waters have receded after a great flood. However, the question incorrectly references 'utna' instead of Ut-Napishtim. In the actual story, Ut-Napishtim sends out three different birds in succession after the flood wanes. The first is a dove, which returns because it could find no resting place. The second bird is a swallow, which also returns. Finally, the third bird, a raven, is sent out and does not return, indicating the waters have lowered enough for it to find food and a place to rest. This story is similar to the biblical account of Noah's Ark, where Noah sends out a raven and a dove for the same purpose.
