The Noah story is the Jewish version of the Akkadian (per-Summerian) Gilgamesh flood story. Much more likely that the flood was experienced in the Persian Gulf when rising seas broke open the Strait of Hormuz. This is also the site of Eden. Can’t see how the ark got to Mount Ararat. Methinks there is something up there, but what it is is beyond me.
I tend to think the Gilgamesh story is the Akkadian version of the Hebrew original, with distortions added via “telephone game” effect.
More proff of global warming! If those pesky redneck egyptans hadn't been driving around in SUV's, there wouldn't have been a flood.

The end of the last Ice Age over 10,000 years ago had Glaciers melting so fast that it would have made it’s own puddle under Al Gore’s fat behind. This occurred in both Asia, Europe and North America. It is no wonder there is a cultural history of the “Great Flood”.
