Why do so many cultures around the world have flood myths? From the Hindu story of Manu to the Epic of Gilgamesh and Noah’s Ark, these tales share striking similarities despite emerging from vastly different civilizations. In this video, we dive into the origins and significance of these myths, exploring why floods are such a universal theme in human storytelling.
Flood myths are more than just tales of survival; they are deeply symbolic stories of renewal, divine intervention, and the human condition. The Hindu flood myth, for instance, tells of Manu being warned by a fish—an avatar of the god Vishnu—about an impending catastrophic flood. Manu’s survival and subsequent repopulation of the earth underscore themes of obedience, trust, and divine guidance. This narrative also reflects the Hindu belief in the cyclical nature of time and existence.
Similarly, in the Epic of Gilgamesh, Utnapishtim is forewarned by the god Ea and builds a boat to save his family and animals from a great flood. This story emphasizes faithfulness and divine retribution, with Utnapishtim and his wife being granted immortality for their actions. The Biblical story of Noah’s Ark also follows this theme of divine judgment and mercy, with Noah saving his family and pairs of animals, and God placing a rainbow in the sky as a covenant never to flood the earth again.
The video also explores how these myths might be rooted in real historical events, such as the Black Sea deluge, which could have inspired the flood stories passed down through generations. By comparing these myths, we uncover the shared human experience of fear in the face of natural disasters and the hope for renewal and new beginnings.
