Flood Myths

The myth of the flood comes from the myth that many different cultures seem to tell the same story. The theme of Babylonian myths can be seen in the story of Egypt; the elements of Christian theology are obvious in ancient Chinese textbooks etc. How is this possible? How can cultures with less physical contact provide similar stories to us? Considering time, these problems are even more confusing. Many of these stories seem to be written not only from various parts of the earth, but also at entirely different times.

The Genesis flood myth is similar to many other flood myths from various cultures, in particular the Sumerian flood myths from Utna Pischim of Gilgamesh, the most likely flood of the Genesis. The earliest known flood mythology of the document is the Sumerian flood myth seen in the Deluge Tablet, where the hero was named Ziusudra. The story of the Quran is repeated in the Quran. There, the ark appears in SafinaNūḥ (Arabic: سفينة نوح "Noah's boat"). Noah 's Ark was searched at least during the Eusebius era (275 - 339 BC), and believers of myths kept searching for it in modern times. Many investigations have been done on the ark, but there is no confirmed physical evidence for the ark. There is no scientific evidence that Noah 's Ark exists in the Bible and there is no evidence in the geologic record of the global flood of the Bible.

An ancient Babylonian flood myth, epic poems of Gilgamesh tells us stories resembling Noah and his ark. Among them, a man named Utnapishtim built a ship to rescue his family and animals from the flood caused by the angry god. After 7 days Utnapishtim and his family rested safely on top of the mountain. These stories are constantly occurring and scholars have noticed their similarities. While studying more than 200 flood myths, creationist James Perloff noted that 95% of the story referred to the global floods, people were saved at 70% and 57% of the ship I was in the mountains I found a breath.
