From
NoahsArkandtheWorldwideFlood:
quote:
And it is because of this, that over 200 different cultures have recorded the Flood in their histories, to document in similar but different ways this worldwide geological event. Why, because the deluge effected all cultures, as all following cultures stemmed sociologically from the Mid-East. For from the Gilgamish Epic of babylonians, to the Creation tablets of Nineveh, to the Rosetta Stone of Egypt, to the stories told among the Eskimos and Indians of North America, all these cultures knew and passed on their history from the Great Flood. And it is mentioned in most of them that Noah and his Family were the only human survivors.
Since all of these "over 200 different cultures" were wiped out by "the flood", how did they record the flood in their histories? Dead people don't write histories.
quote:
...Noah and his Family were the only human survivors.
Therefore, the only possible source for any flood history would be Noah and his Family.
Those "over 200 different cultures" must have been recording some other sort of flood event, not "THE BIG ONE".
