The story of Noah and the Great Flood has carried both moral concepts and legend throughout history. Noah, the Ark, and the Flood is only one of hundreds of stories told around the world for hundreds and thousands of years. These are just a few of the stories shared around the world:

The Mandans, who populated an area on the Missouri, told the story of the earth as a huge tortoise covered with dirt and supported by water. One day men of white color pierced the carapace of the tortoise while digging to catch badgers. Immediately water gushed from the hole and drown all of mankind except one man.

The Shastus shared a story of the time when the flood came and destroyed all the animals except for a squirrel the size of a bear. Legend says that this mythical creature still exists on a mountain called by the Shastus.

One day a prophet living near the Gila Valley of the Pimas was warned by an eagle of an impending flood, but the prophet laughed at the idea. A second, then a third warning came, and still he did not listen. With a sudden thunderous sound came a wall of water. Only one man survived, by the name of Szenkha.

The Lenni-Lenapi or Delaware Indians share the legend of the downfall of the first world, the downfall of man after snake worship was introduced, and the beginning of a new race lead by Nana-Bush.

Many of these stories were shared in public domain books such as: Ancient Athens: its History, Topography, and Remains by Thomas Henry Dyer; Atlantis: the Antediluvian World by Ignatius Donnelly; The Mammoth and the Flood by Henry Hoyle Howorth.

Each of these stories tells us there was a catastrophic flood many centuries ago. In some of the stories the people faced east, toward the Atlantic Ocean. Are these stories telling the same tale, of the demise of Atlantis? Storytellers have carried forth an incredible story of change that resounded around the world.
