Although the narrative or story of Noah and the flood is one of the great stories in the Bible‚ many question its originality. The biblical version of the flood in Genesis 6-10 is “quite close in many respects to the Mesopotamian flood stories” (The New Oxford Annotated Bible pg 19)‚ which were written beforehand.
