The Flood
Biblical worldwide inundation
The Flood refers to the biblical deluge in Genesis, when God sent rain for forty days and nights to destroy a corrupt humanity, sparing only Noah, his family, and pairs of animals aboard an ark.
The story appears with variations across many ancient cultures.
When capitalized, the Flood usually means this specific mythological event: fossils supposedly deposited by the Flood.
