It depends on what you're talking about. If it was related to historical data, generally speaking the ones closest to the event time wise knew more about the facts related to the event then those down the road thousands of years away from the event. Regarding the flood, most cultures have some version of a flood in their legends, et al. This is likely what the ancient Egyptian Tempest Stele, for example was aluding to in some of it's statements which to many of us lend corroboration to the ancient Biblical account. See my Exodus debate with Brian for link to the T. Stele. If there was a flood the ancients were not too far removed from the event time wise.
