Shared Flood Myths Across Civilizations

Did you know that many ancient mythologies across the world are connected? From ancient Mesopotamia

to India, from Greek mythology to the Bible, different civilizations tell the same story.

They all describe a great flood that destroyed the world. In these stories, a warning is given

to a chosen person, a boat is built to survive the disaster, and a small group of people along

with animals escape the flood and restart life afterward. What makes this extraordinary is

that these civilizations were separated by vast oceans and had no contact with each other,

yet they all remembered a similar event. So how is this possible? Is it just a coincidence or have we forgotten

something important from our ancient past?
