It has been claimed on another thread:
Actually, the amazing fact that there are so many ancient stories of a gigantic flood is unbelievably strong corroboration. The attempts to reduce them all to local floods, as if they all just happened to experience these memorable local floods about the same time that made this huge impact on their consciousness, apart from all the OTHER big floods they must also have experienced over the millennia, is really laughable.
This raises a number of interesting questions.
How widespread are stories of a universal flood?
What do they have in common besides a big flood?
Do they occur only in areas where local flooding is known to have taken place, or are they present elsewhere?
My thanks to anyone who cares to inform me.
