Now i am thinking of the pakistani flood that has taken place recently. this is a good example of why Noah's flood was global and did take place. NO ONE puts a destructive local flood into their identity, religious works, or makes it a life changing event. Katrina is another example, the flooding there did not do anything to change america's identity, nor did they incorporate it as a major historical event that changed their civilization or made them put it into their religious writings.
The point is what the individuals who came up with the global flood myth thought. Any flood covering a major portion of Mesopotamia would be assumed by these ignorant humans, ignorant meaning uninformed,
as covering the entire earth. Stop trying to read mythology through 21st century eyes and trying reading it through the eyes of the story tellers.
