Excerpt from Bricks From Babel: A Brief View, Myths, Traditions and Religious, Belief of Races, Concise Studies in Ethnography

Betwixt the world destroyed, and world restored. Paradise Lost, Book XII.

The same day were all the fountains Of the great deep broken up, and the windows Of Heaven were Opened. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills that were under the whole Heaven, were covered. Thus Simply does Holy Writ describe that tremendous event, which all races of men have exhausted their vocabularies in, endeavoring to depict, and which, while it changed the face of nature, and altered the current of the history Of humanity, left also its indelible impress upon the' hearts of men, and stands at the beginning Of every known cosmogony.
