Most of us have heard the biblical story of Noah and the Great Flood. This story has carried both moral concepts and legend throughout history. Noah, the Ark, and the Flood is only one of hundreds of stories told around the world for hundreds and thousands of years. These are just a few of the stories: The Mandans, who populated an area on the Missouri, told the story of the earth as a huge tortoise covered with dirt and supported by water. One day men of white color pierced the carapace of the tortoise while digging to catch badgers. Immediately water gushed from the hole and drown all of mankind except one man. The Shastus shared a story of the time when the flood came and destroyed all the animals except for a squirrel the size of a bear. Legend says that this mythical creature still exists on a mountain called by the Shastus. In the Lake Tahoe region it was believed that the natives owned the whole earth, and its people were prosperous and strong. Over time others rose up stronger and they enslaved the people. The Great Spirit sent a wave across the land, wiping out both the oppressed and the oppressors. One of legends in Mexico says that the first age, the age of water, ended with a great flood. Everything perished except one man and one woman of the giant race. Many villages share the same story, with paintings of a boat floating in the waters carrying one man and one woman. Many of these stories were shared in public domain books such as: Atlantis: the Antediluvian World by Ignatius Donnelly; The Mammoth and the Flood by Henry Hoyle Howorth; Ancient Athens: its History, Topography, and Remains by Thomas Henry Dyer. Each story speaks of a great flood, and many of these stories begin with the people facing the east, toward the presumed location of Atlantis. Could these stories all speak of the same event? The words of Plato share with us the catastrophic event that lead to the demise of an entire civilization. Storytellers around the world have echoed a major world event with their own amazing twists.
