The Flood has been mentioned in many cultures around the world, making me think that something catatrophic must have happened. But I have a theory.

To ancient people, lets say their territory was a 30 mile perimeter from a central city. Most people developed their cities on or near a water source, for reasons such as agriculture, bathing, etc. Now if one year this area got more rain than usual, resulting in their land being flooded, such as when the Missisippi floods. This seems like a possible common occurrence that could happen virtually anywhere.

Could it just be that their rivers flooded, and having no way to explain it other than their God(s)? Is this plausible?

Or is there some sort of evidence supporting a worldwide flood? Is there even enough water to cover the entire planet?

Shokan's mind must know.
