Synopsis

Are all ancient flood myths mere coincidences—or do they point to a forgotten global event buried in time and silt?

Across cultures and continents, from the icy peaks of Mount Ararat to the sacred texts of ancient India, civilizations have passed down eerily similar stories: a great flood, divine wrath, an ark, a chosen few, and the rebirth of the world. In From Noah to Manu, author and researcher Ricky Gutierrez takes readers on a sweeping, multi-disciplinary journey through global flood narratives, seeking to uncover the shared truths hidden within mythology, archaeology, sacred texts, and geological evidence.

This is not just a book about myths. It is a book about patterns, memory, and truth—an exploration into the possibility that these disparate flood legends from Mesopotamia, India, China, the Americas, Africa, and Oceania may be echoing a singular, real-world cataclysm that shaped early human history.
