It may be impossible to know exactly when the story takes place, but it is in Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, when everyone was a vegetarian and no one died from old age. The ancient Sumerians and the Hopi people of the American Southwest also had stories of a worldwide flood and survivors who built an ark, but no one can say how long ago it was.

Is history fiction?

It is a fictional story, set around a historical event. There are often movies about soldiers during a war, where the war really did happen, but the soldiers themselves did not exist and their story was a work of fiction by an author. Some events are so long ago that we really don't know what happened, but stories and films are often made of fictional people in these times, set around events that we know did happen. So that is historical fiction.
