Noah & the Ark, Abraham & Sarah

Genesis 6-12 tells the story how Noah and his Ark survived a great flood. How do various cultures record the flood? When did  it take place? Was it global or local? We'll look at Indian, Greek, Egyptian, Babylonian, Akkadian and Sumerian accounts. We'll also look at Abraham's puzzling description of his wife Sarah: "She is my sister."
