Flood Myth

A Flood Myth is a common story across many cultures that describes a great deluge sent by divine beings or natural forces to cleanse the world of corruption or disaster. These myths often feature a hero or chosen individual who survives the flood by building an ark or boat, allowing life to restart. While details vary, the recurring theme reflects humanity's attempts to explain natural catastrophic events, divine judgment, or ecological renewal. Flood myths reveal universal concerns about morality, rebirth, and the relationship between humans and the environment.
