Gilgamesh seems like best match but he reigned 123 yrs (2 x 60, + 6) not 55 yrs.
Belus reigned for 55 years. Other kings/etc associated with a 55/56 yrs reign/period: Marduk/Bel (50 names) Typhon/Set (56) Joseph (110 yrs is 55 x 2) Chephren (3rd dyn) Sargon 1 of Akkad* Naramsin of Akkad Sistosichermes "Hercules" (12th dyn? Eratosthenes) Hammurabi of Babylon 1 dyn* Venus tablets of Ammisaduga (Babylon 1 dyn) Gulkishar (Sealands dyn)* Stonehenge (Hawkins, though Velikovsky says its 65 not 56) Sethos I (19th dyn, Eusebius, compare Africanus & Book of Sothis) King Arthur (section 56 of the HB).
Sayce said the worked-out date of Hammurabi from Babylonian list/tablet was coincidentally the same as Belus from Ctesias. (Though Hammurabi might be "Semiramis" rather than Belus? Hammurabi's reign is either 55 or 42 yrs. Semiramis was 42 yrs.)

NZ's mandatory fluoridation is not fair because it only forces it on the disadvantaged/some and not on the advantaged/everyone.
Belus (Latin), Belos (Greek), from Bel (Babylonian) meaning "Lord", was simply the Babylonian deity Marduk. The classical authors render him variously as a king of Babylon, a king of Assyria, a king of Egypt, and an ancestor to the kings of Lydia. The West Semitic equivalent was Ba'al. How the classical authors tie Belus to Egypt is anyone's guess. The Egyptians never had a deity named Belus, much less had a king by that name. While it is true that the ancient Egyptians had adopted some West Semitic deities such as Anat and Ashtarte, Belus (or Ba'al) remains undocumented.
