Noah's flood is a story much older than the Bible, and researchers are still learning about its roots.
Noah's flood is one of the most recognized Bible stories. According to the Old Testament,"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened" .
If the"heavens" opened and all of the water in the atmosphere came down at once as rain, the planet would be submerged — but only to a depth of about 1 inch , according to the U.S. Geological Survey . That's not enough water to justify a canoe, let alone a massive ark. There are slightly different accounts of Noah's flood story in other religious books, such as the Quran, while earlier versions of a cataclysmic flood stem from ancient Mesopotamian texts. Spar noted that there's a Sumerian flood story recorded in fragments that dates back to the late third millennium B.C.If we consider the sources of Noah's flood to be regional floods and not a global flood, then it's not so far-fetched.
