Numerous cultures around the world have their own flood legends, with estimates suggesting that there are over 500 distinct stories. These legends often share common themes of a great flood sent by deities to cleanse the earth, with notable examples including the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, the Biblical account of Noah's Ark, and various Indigenous narratives. The prevalence of these stories across different societies suggests a shared human experience or historical event that has been mythologized over time.

What is one aspect of ancient Greeks culture that is important in the myth of the great flood?
If one culture or two had legends of a "great flood", one might dismiss them as legends or fables. But EVERY middle-eastern and Mediterranean culture has legends of a "great flood", from Noah to Gilgamesh to the Egyptians. Even the Australian aborigines have one. So it may not be completely legendary. There's a disturbed area on the floor of the Indian Ocean, several hundred miles east of Madagascar, known as the "Burckle formation". It's possible that all the flood legends have a common cause; an asteroid impact in the Indian Ocean. The resulting tsunami might have been 500 feet high, and the waves being funneled into the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden might have piled them even higher.

What is the flood of Genesis?
A:The Book of Genesis describes a great, world-wide flood that killed all living things, except Noah, his family and the creatures that he took onto a boat, or Ark, that God told him to build so that he would be saved. There are so many parallels in this story to the flood in the earlier Epic of Gilgamesh, that scholars have thought that the Genesis flood story must have been adapted from the Gilgamesh flood story. However, Ian Wilson (Before the Flood) presents a well argued case for there really having been a great flood on which both accounts were based. He believes that the one event they are both based on is the inundation of what is now the Black Sea. There is evidence that rising ocean levels at the end of the Younger Dryas, around 5200 BCE, caused the Mediterranean Sea to breach the Bosphorus and flood the former fertile, low-lying plain.
