The Book of Genesis , which is thought to have been written around the 5th century B. C. E. and influenced by much earlier Mesopotamian myths, contains four chapters that chronicle an earthshaking deluge . The story goes that God destroyed what he saw as a world that had become violent and corrupt, singling out one man, Noah, and instructing him to build an ark. Bringing animals to safety and a new existence, the vessel protected the chosen few from masses of water that eliminated all other living creatures on Earth.
