How many religions have a flood story?

Quite a few. Cultures like Mesopotamian, Chinese, and Hindu have flood stories in their mythologies.

Many cultures have great flood stories. Some of the prominent ones include those from Mesopotamia, Judaism, and Chinese mythology. These stories often reflect people's fears and explanations of natural disasters in different times and regions.

Well, there's no precise count. Flood stories exist in various mythologies and literatures around the world. Some are well-known, while others might be lesser-known within specific regions or communities.

I'm not sure of an exact count. But there are many great flood stories in different religions, folklore, and cultural traditions. They vary in details but share the common theme of a catastrophic flood.

Not many religions have stories exactly the same as Christianity. Each religion has its unique beliefs and narratives.

The flood story is ancient and its age is difficult to determine precisely. Different cultures have their own versions that have been passed down through generations for a long time.

The Gilgamesh flood story has some similarities to other flood stories. For example, like the Noah's Ark story, there is a chosen person (Utnapishtim in Gilgamesh and Noah in the Bible) who is warned by a divine being about the flood. They both build a large vessel to save themselves, their families, and animals. However, the cultural and religious contexts are different. In the Gilgamesh story, it is part of the Mesopotamian mythology, while the Noah's Ark is from the Judeo - Christian tradition.

The Manu flood story is quite ancient. Scholars have different opinions on its exact age, but it's definitely from a distant past and holds significant cultural and mythological value.

In the story of Utnapishtim, the length of the flood is somewhat ambiguous. It's not clearly stated as a specific number of days or weeks. However, it's depicted as a significant and prolonged event that had a major impact.

The Old Testament flood story is unique in its religious context. It emphasizes God's judgment and mercy. In other flood myths, like the Gilgamesh epic, there are similarities such as a great flood sent by the gods. However, in the Old Testament, it's more about God's relationship with humanity. In other myths, the reasons for the flood may be more about the gods' quarrels or the overpopulation of humans. But in the Old Testament, it's the wickedness of man that leads to the flood.
