The Flood in World Myth and Folklore
Noachian Variations |
| © 2021 Mark Isaak |
The Noah story in fifteenth-century Armenian apocrypha differs little from the Genesis account. One version refers to the ark as a mother's womb, speaks of baptism, and says Noah summoned the beasts with a gong. Another version implies that building the ark took a hundred years. The sounds of the ark's construction told of the coming of the flood, and still people did not believe.
