A wealth of legends from around the world:
When mankind was overwhelmed with the deluge, none were preserved but a man named Coxcox … and a woman called Xochiquetzal, who saved themselves in a little bark [boat], and having afterwards got to land upon a mountain called by them Colhuacan, had there a great many children … these children were all born dumb, until a dove from a lofty tree imparted to them languages, but differing so much that they could not understand one another.”
Just a garbled version of the biblical accounts of Noah and Babel? Perhaps. This story comes from the Aztecs of Mexico – one of many such tales, from geographically remote and widely divergent cultures, which speak of a cataclysmic flood.
Ancient writers make mention of the flood
Got Questions – an online ministry – writes the following in their article, “Genesis tells of a worldwide flood sent as God’s judgement on the world. The memory of that flood has been preserved in cultures all over the globe, as acknowledged by, and Mnaseas, and a great many more, make mention of the same.’”
