Nobody really knows........
The god Enki warned Utnapishtim of the great flood that would destroy humanity. Enki secretly revealed the gods' plans to Utnapishtim, advising him to build an ark to save himself, his family, and various animals from the impending disaster.
Starting from after God told him. Or do you mean how far B.C?
Utnapishtum is a character in the ancient Sumerian "Epic of Gilgamesh." He tells the hero that the gods warned him of an impending disaster--a great flood--and so he built a boat to carry his family and all of his animals to safety. The "Epic of Gilgamesh" is regarded by scholars as the source for the Biblical story of Noah and the Flood.
In Greek mythology, Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha survived the flood sent by Zeus to cleanse the world of human wickedness. They were the only survivors of the deluge, having been warned by Prometheus. After the flood, they repopulated the earth by throwing stones over their shoulders, which transformed into people.
Yes, it is believed that it had rained before the flood occurred.
Noah is traditionally believed to have had a strong faith in God, which compelled him to follow divine instructions to build an ark in preparation for an impending flood. He is often seen as a symbol of righteousness and obedience, as he maintained his faith amidst a corrupt society. Noah's belief also encompassed the idea of divine judgment and redemption, as he sought to preserve life by saving his family and pairs of animals from the flood.
It was believed that the gods gave the pharaohs their powers to make the Nile flood for the farmers.
Down by City Hall is a guy named Frank Ombune. He listens to the report from the National Weather Service, either on the internet, on the radio, or from TV, and when he finds out a flood is coming, he goes up on the roof and hollers,FLOOD COMING !!over and over and over again !!
Yes, it rained before the ark was built. Noah prepared for the flood by following God's instructions to build a large boat, called an ark, to save himself, his family, and pairs of animals from the impending flood.
Ea, a god, warned Utnapishtim of the flood. He told him to build a large ark and to fill it with every kind of animal, male and female. Utnapishtim, his family, and the animals remained on the boat until the flood was over. -Correction. They were warned, but warned to build a boat. The ark was built in the story of Noah's Ark. Also, only he, Utnapishism, and his wife were allowed to board the boat. No one else had entered. Don't worry, I'm not guessing this, this came straight out of a text book, so the information provided is pretty accurate. :)
The only two survivors from the flood sent by Zeus in Greek mythology are Deucalion and his wife, Pyrrha. They were warned by Prometheus and built an ark to survive the deluge. After the waters receded, they repopulated the earth by throwing stones over their shoulders, which transformed into people.
flood kill the people .
