Every culture on Earth has a flood legend. Common delusion or common story?

Every culture doesn’t have the flood legend, but an early local event which was certainly significant to the ancestors of modern civilization would account for all of them.

Certainly the Gilgamesh Epic and Noah’s Flood are referring to the same event, even though the accounts are a bit different.

Perhaps a common experience? Again - I don’t KNOW, but if I believe in God I have to believe it’s possible.

"Every culture on Earth has a flood legend."

Imagine that.

It flooded everywhere as the ice melted at the end of the Ice Age.
