Every country in the modern world has roots in one or more ancient cultures. These are, in the western world, Greek, Roman, Celtic and Viking. Each of these civilisations has stories that describe events, such as creation, heroic deeds, battles and conquests. If these stories only contained normal people,then they would be plausable. The stories that we are interested in contain gods and monsters, therefore they are known as myths. Not all myths are different, some myths are strangely similar across different cultures, both East and West, and need further investigation.

TThe subject of creation has always been an area of interest that attracts a great deal of passion. We are not in a position to take sides in any argument, therefore we would like to point you to the following website: -

Many Westerners have been raised with similar religious beliefs. Since most western Europeans had Christian-based religions, it's understandable that most Westerners have at least a little knowledge of the Bible and its stories. And one of the most well-known Bible stories is the story of Noah's Ark.
Other cultures, most of them as old or older than Christianity, have similar myths about a great flood, a big boat, and one small group of people being saved.

The Greek story, tells of a man named Deucalion, and his wife, Pyrrha. Zeus and the other gods were tired of the human weakness against sin. The gods decided that the earth needed to be cleansed so that they could start over with a new human race. However, before the flood began, Deucalion was told to build a boat, and collect his wife, so that they alone would survive the flood.

The Sumerian myth of the flood is almost identical to Noah's, as that the gods planned a flood to wash away the wickedness from the earth, and one of the gods went aside to warn the hero Utnapishtim of the disaster. So Utnapishtim gathered together his family, as well as the "seed of every race" by bringing along one pair of every animal to breed.

From the Australian aborigines through Native American tribes to the Viking fjords, the legends are all surprisingly similar.
We may never know the truth of the past but the similarities of ancient myths cannot be ignored.
