A regional flood that large, that could cover mountains, would have to be global since there are no geological formations to keep the water contained to the region.  So, since we know there was no global flood, the idea of a regional deluge that could cover mountains is preposterous.

And if the Sumerians lived in the area the “ark” ended up, it’s unlikely that they would get the name of the builder wrong, only for it to be written down millennia later by a tribe that likely originated far away.

Let’s not forget, either, that it’s a story, with absolutely no supporting evidence (like most stories from the bible and koran.

There may be a regional-universal flood without the need to cover all the large mountains. A regional flood does not mean that this has to flood only that area, it depends on which "regional" flood is located, it may actually be global.

Again, let's visit the source materiel:

'They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits.'

Cubits come in several different lengths, but let's use the Hebrew short cubit (for reasons which should be obvious) of 17 1/2 inches.  This means that the Flood waters covered the top of Mount Everest to a depth of almost 22 feet.  You can work out for yourself (or look it up) the volume of water that would be required to do this.
