  I strongly believe that it happened. It doesn’t need to be a “flood of biblical dimensions” but just one terrible enough to convince a few early tribes that it was the end of the world as we know it.

  That’s mankind lore

    I feel like the myth existing in cultures around the world from Mesopotamia to the Americas gives its more credence. It makes sense that a world-changing event would work its way into various disparate cultures.

      Or it’s because people all around the world always lived next to water and encountered fluds.

        Absolutely, water being such a vital part of life pretty much ensures it’ll be referenced. Kind of the same thing as various sun gods in cultures around the world.
