THE GLOBAL FLOOD MYTHS Coincidence or Collective Memory?
About this book
From the Epic of Gilgamesh to Noah's Ark and beyond, stories of a great flood appear in cultures separated by oceans and centuries. How could so many different civilizations tell such a similar tale? Was it pure coincidence, or does it point to a deeper collective memory of an event that shaped humanity?
The Global Flood Myths explores these enduring stories through the lenses of history, religion, and cultural tradition. It invites readers to consider the possibility of shared memory across civilizations and challenges us to rethink how myth and history are connected.
If you are fascinated by mythology, ancient civilizations, or the mysteries of human memory, this book will open the door to a timeless question that still sparks debate today.
