These scriptures were eventually compiled into what we call the Old Testament of the Bible. In a non-theocratic culture these writing would have been called a history.
Or even more appropriate - Myths. Not only that the myths of the creation and flood exist in cruder forms that are over 2000 years older than the earliest OT sources.
The interesting part is that normally intelligent humans beings can be convinced that these myths are some sort of dictation from God and represent actual events.
