Most of us have heard the biblical story of Noah and the Great Flood. This story 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:

The Chipewyans have a legend of a deluge when the waters spread over the whole earth. The only exception was the highest mountains, on the tops of which they preserved themselves. The story is told by the Mandans that there were four tortoises on the earth, to the north, south, east and west. Each tortoise rained for ten days, and the water covered the earth.

During a time of great flood, in California, on Reed Peak, there is legend of a coyote, the only living creature to survive in the world. There was a single feather floating in the rippled water. The coyote looked at the feather, and while watching the feather formed flesh and bones and became the first eagle. The eagle and the coyote formed an alliance, but were still lonely, and so they created men.

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.

One of legends in Mexico says that the first age, the age of water, ended with a great flood. Everything perished except one man and one woman of the giant race. Many villages share the same story, with paintings of a boat floating in the waters carrying one man and one woman.

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

Each story speaks of a great flood, and many of these stories begin with the people facing the east, toward the presumed location of Atlantis. Could these stories all speak of the same event? The words of Plato share with us the catastrophic event that lead to the demise of an entire civilization. Storytellers around the world have echoed a major world event with their own amazing twists.
