“Deluge: From Genesis to Atlantis” explores the ancient and enduring myth of the great flood, examining its widespread presence in stories across the globe. From the Biblical account in Genesis to the tale of Atlantis and beyond, the concept of a devastating flood has appeared in various cultures and religions, often as a form of divine judgment or purification.

In this book, we embark on a journey to understand the commonalities and variations between these deluge myths, with particular focus on their historical, geological, and cultural contexts. The flood has been a symbol of both destruction and renewal, and the narratives surrounding it hold profound meanings about humanity’s relationship with nature, divinity, and the cosmos.
