13 - Additional Narratives: Flood Compare and Contrast

Now that you've spend some time looking at the three narratives provided in some more detail it is time for you to investigate this phenomenon even further.

As mentioned previously, many cultures in human history tell a story about a catastrophic flood. There are more listed here. Your task now is to choose one more of them and compare it to what you've learned so far. Use the link to help guide you. Find one that interests you and find the actual story (If you need help finding it ask your teacher. You will be learning more of those skills very soon.) What similarities do you notice? Any major differences?

You can refer to all three already covered in this course while writing your comparison. Why do you think that this particular story has been told in so many cultures?
