The Heroic Fisherman

The flood myth is almost universally disseminated on all the continents although very rarely in africa particularly in the desert for unsurprisingly. A certain number of variants seem to be the result of dissemination rather than spontaneous regeneration let's say first from Mesopotamia and then from india it is equally possible that one or several diluvial catastrophes gave rise to fabulous narratives but it would be risky to explain so widespread a myth by phenomena of which no geological traces has been found.
