A:The Bible says that Noah was a distant ancestor to Abraham, but lived until Abraham was 60 years old, although Abraham seems unaware of Noah's existence or even of God having saved him in the Flood. From a biblical perspective, Noah and Abraham's were therefore related.

From a historical perspective, both Noah and Abraham are considered by scholars to be mythical and therefore Noah and Abraham are only related in biblical tradition.
