Because all descended from Noah, Noe, in the Middle East he is Nu, in India he is Manu (Man-Nu), in China he is Nuwa. The Flood years also match when corrected despite Hindu say it is 3102bc, Maya say it is 3114bc, Moslems say 3122bc, Greeks say 2958bc.... they are calculated by calendars and planets and each favors a specific planet to say its the truth and the other nations are wrong by using another planet.

The story of Noah's Ark is a story of triumph over adversity. It is an epic story on a grand scale and, if read literally, tells us about God and an ancestor of all humanity.
