NOAH LEGENDS

One website I visited examined different flood stories from such diverse nations as

· East Africa

· Argentina

· Australia

· Bolivia

· Borneo

· Burma

· Cuba (original natives)

· Fiji

· Egypt (Book of the Dead)

· Iceland

· India

· Mexico

· New Zealand

· Russia- Vogul

· Vietnam- Bahnar

And of those 35 flood stories they examined ALL of them talk of humans being spared in the flood.

32 of them include a boat.

24 include an account of animals being spared.

At least 6 of them include references to a dove.

Two of those included references to a raven (one to a hawk).
