The "Great Flood" refers to a significant and widespread flooding event that is often associated with various cultural and religious narratives, including the story of Noah's Ark in the Bible. This event is described as a catastrophic deluge that submerged the earth, leading to the destruction of most living beings, except for those saved by Noah and his family. Many ancient civilizations, such as the Mesopotamians and Indigenous peoples, have their own accounts of a great flood, suggesting that such events may have been inspired by real historical flooding. Scientific studies indicate that large-scale floods have occurred throughout history, often resulting from natural disasters like heavy rainfall or melting glaciers.
