Hidden Origins of the Great Flood Myth

A sweeping exploration of humanity's oldest and most enduring myth, this book journeys through the submerged layers of the Great Flood as it appears in ancient cosmologies, forgotten traditions, and the modern imagination. Moving from archaeological discoveries to suppressed symbolic readings, from collective memory to contemporary ecological anxieties, it reveals how the deluge has shaped human consciousness across millennia. Through its cycles of destruction and renewal, loss and beginning, the flood becomes a mirror of our deepest vulnerabilities and our capacity to endure. This is a work that restores meaning by returning to origins, uncovering the hidden strata beneath folklore, language, ritual, and emotion. It closes the circle between ancient catastrophe and modern fear, showing how water continues to dissolve, transform, and remake the world within and around us.
