Chaldean Account of the Deluge

The Chaldean account of the Deluge, similar to other ancient traditions, describes a great flood sent by divine forces to cleanse the Earth of corruption. In their narrative, a righteous man is warned by a deity or divine messenger to build an ark to survive the impending disaster. He and his family, along with animals, seek refuge on the ark, which withstands the floodwaters that cover the world. Once the waters recede, the survivors restart life anew. This story emphasizes themes of divine justice, obedience, and renewal, paralleling similar flood myths across many cultures.
