Wolf,
Yes flooding is something most people would be familiar with.
That one man is told to build a boat and save his family along with all the animals on board?
Nope, Not so common.
The Flood stories all seem to have certain eerie similarities.
Secular Frummy
have you studied Eygptology?
I admit I actually have a pretty good interest in the area and am pretty familiar with aspects of it and still haven’t even attempted top go back that far.
Because to state that the records of any Eygptian Dynasty that archeologists would have surmised existed at the time are from the most “reliable” is a stretch and that’s saying it nicely.
