Genesis 7:20: "Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. " This is mystifyingly ambiguous. Fifteen cubits could be seen by a native of Babylon as high enough to flood the whole earth, but it is certainly not enough to begin to cover Mt Ararat, which is over five kilometres high.

Taken literally, the Flood would have risen kilometres above normal sea level, to cover the whole earth, including the highest mountains in Tibet.

Did demons walk the earth before the flood?

A:There is nothing in the Book of Genesis to suggest that demons walked the earth before Noah's Flood, so scripturally the answer would seem to be that they did not.

In my own opinion, the great flood composed of 2 theories. One being the repetition of the "Great Flood" where God cleanses the earth by means of raining for 40 days and 40 nights. And secondly the theories of some scientists that because of Global Warming the ice from North Pole will become a total meltdown which would cause a Great Flood that will flood the whole earth itself.
