According to Genesis, the descendants of the Japheth who escaped out of the Flood with Noah are the Ionians, the inhabitants of the Morea, the dwellers on the Cilician coast of Asia Minor, the Cyprians, the Dodoneans of Macedonia, the Iberians, and the Thracians.
These floods appear in stories across cultures (Noah’s flood, Manu in India, etc.).

And as you well know, the priest-architect of Atlantis, known to you as Noah, constructed a mighty ship that eventually carried animals and humans to the new colonies around the planet, particularly toward the area in the Middle East of today that you call the Fertile Crescent.

Mount Ararat (Noah’s Ark)
The Book of Genesis in the Bible describes remarkably long lifespans for the patriarchs from Adam to Noah, ranging from 777 to 969 years.
These figures appear in Genesis 5 and contribute to a calculated timeline from creation to the flood of about 1,656 years, based on the ages at which each patriarch fathered the next in the line (e.g., Adam at 130, Seth at 105, and so on, up to Noah's 600th year at the flood).
Noah, Lamech’s son, lived for 950 years.
The biblical text presents the patriarchs as distinct individuals with personal stories (e.g., Adam's creation, Noah's flood role), not abstract dynasties.
The flood narrative ties to Noah's specific 600th year, suggesting literal chronology rather than symbolic spans.
Adjusting for Noah's 600 at the flood, the total from Adam to the flood becomes about 245,175 years—within 2% of the Sumerian King List's 249,200 years pre-flood.
This theory treats the ten patriarchs from Adam to Noah as a sequence of ten successive kings or rulers in a pre-flood civilization, Atlantis.
Be not deceived; go not into their ways.10. For when the son of man will come again no man need point the way; for as the lightning lights the heavens, so will the son of man light up the heavens and earth.11. But, lo, I say, that many generations will have come and gone before the son of man shall come in power; but when he comes no one will say, Lo, here is Christ; lo, there.12. But as it was before the flood in Noah's day, so shall it be.
The people ate, they drank,were filled with merriment and sang for joy,13. And did not know their doom until the ark was done and Noah entered in; but then the flood came on and swept them all away.14. So, also, in the days of Lot; the people ate and drank; they bought, they sold, they planted and they reaped, they went their ways in sin, and they cared not;15. But when the righteous Lot went from their city's gates the earth beneath the city shook, and brimstone fires fell from heaven;16. The gapping jaws of earth flew wide, and swallowed up their homes, their wealth, and they went down to rise no more.17. So shall it be when comes the son of man in power.18. I charge you men, as I will charge men then, Seek not to save your wealth, or you will lose your lives.
Their legends claim it was spoken by Adam and Eve, and that one of the sons of Noah settled in the mountains before the confusion of tongues at the Tower of Babel.
Key themes include origins tied to Noah’s descendants, earth-centered deities like Mari, giants (jentilak or mairu), and nature spirits.
A central biblical-derived myth traces Basque (and broader Iberian) ancestry to Tubal, a grandson of Noah.
Post-Flood, Noah divided the continents: Asia to Shem, Africa to Ham, and Europe to Japheth.
And finally, there were also some Christian authors including Tertullian and Arnobius who accepted the existence of Atlantis, sometimes linking it to the story of Noah's flood...This is what many people do even today, and it's wrong on so many levels, for example the dates do not coincide...
The biblical flood is of course the best known flood myth in the world everybody knows about the flood of Noah, whatever their religion is today everybody knows about the flood of Noah but not everybody is aware that there are maybe 1000 other stories that tell of a global flood and the cataclysm that afflicted the Earth and that caused great destruction and changed things completely and I've long been of the view that the most likely period for that cataclysm is the end of the Ice Age.
It's fascinating that where the Bible says that the Ark of Noah ends up is Mount Ararat, which is now in Turkey although it's actually visible from Armenia you can see the Mount Ararat more clearly from Armenia but it's now in Turkey.
Mount Ararat was never submerged 11,000 years ago or 100,000 years ago it was not submerged, but the idea that survivors of a flood would seek refuge in high places—that makes sense to me, yes because also Nicolaus of Damascus wrote in his books that when Noah arrived on top of this mountain, he found there other people, ah interesting he found other people and these people were afraid to descend, and Noah with his sons convinced them to descend.
Methuselah is a biblical patriarch prominently featured in the Book of Genesis as part of the genealogy from Adam to Noah through the line of Seth.
This timeline places his death in the same year as the Great Flood, when his grandson Noah was 600 years old.
After Enoch's ascension, God designates Methuselah as a priest, with Noah's brother Nir as his successor.
In the Book of Jubilees, Methuselah marries Edna, the daughter of Azrial (his father's brother), in the 14th jubilee, and is part of a chain of figures entrusted with secret traditions revealed to Moses, including knowledge passed from Enoch through to Noah and later generations.
The Genesis Apocryphon, a Dead Sea Scroll text, involves Methuselah as an intermediary: his son Lamech consults him about Noah's unusual birth, and Methuselah seeks confirmation from Enoch that Noah is legitimate and righteous.
Jewish traditions, such as in the midrashic Sefer haYashar, portray Methuselah as a preacher of repentance alongside Noah during a 120-year period before the Flood, though their efforts fail.
In Islamic traditions, Methuselah (known as Matūshalaḥ) appears in stories of pre-Islamic prophets as an ancestor of Noah and is included in the genealogy of Muhammad by early writers like Ibn Ishaq.
In Mormon texts like the Book of Moses, Methuselah remains on earth after Enoch's city is taken to heaven to fulfill divine promises, serving as a prophet and ancestor to Noah.
2800 BC: Mesopotamia; The Flood and Noah's Ark
2800 Andre Parrot in his 1954 book "The Flood and Noah"s Ark" indicates significant flood deposits at Kish, Shuurupak, Uruk, and Lagash centering on about 2800 B.C.
BC: ; The Biblical Noah
They called him Noah in the bible, but around Mesopotamia he was another man
In Genesis 9:1, after the flood, God tells Noah and his sons: "Multiply and replenish the earth." "Replenish" implies doing it again, suggesting a prior civilization destroyed by the flood.
The genealogy in Genesis 5 lists ten generations from Adam to Noah, with lifespans ranging from 365 to 969 years.
The patterns in the ages of the Genesis 5 genealogy from Adam to Noah reveal intentional symbolic numerology rather than random historical data.
There are 30 numbers in total: for each of the 10 patriarchs, the age at begetting a son, the remaining years lived, and the total lifespan (including Noah's full details from Genesis 9:29).
Genesis 5 records ten patriarchs before the Flood: Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah.

The final figure (Noah, Xisûthros, Ziusudra, Manu Vaivasvata) survives the flood.

Below is a step-by-step explanation based on scholarly analysis, focusing on the eight intermediate patriarchs (excluding Adam and Noah to parallel the eight Sumerian kings).
3rd (final) destruction (~10,000 BC): Final sinking of the remaining islands (Poseidia etc.); massive inundations/flooding; often linked by Cayce to the time of the Biblical Flood/Noah.
In relation to the history of Atlantis as presented, at what period did the flood as recorded in the Bible in which Noah took part, occur?
Genesis 5 details the lineage from Adam through Seth to Noah, recording each patriarch's age at the birth of his firstborn son and total lifespan, which highlights the continuity of the human line before the flood.
During Noah's time, many of his ancestors were still alive, suggesting overlapping generations.
Mount Ararat (Noah's Ark)
A greater chunk of the comet eventually struck the Atlantic Ocean, causing massive tsunamis and the final obliteration of Atlantean culture on the eastern seaboards of the Americas, Europe, and Africa. This event is the basis of the legendary flood of Noah.
After the flood, Utnapishtim becomes immortal, existing in a remote realm unreachable by mortals—echoes of Noah’s post-flood disappearance.
Oahspe reinterprets Zoroaster as a Faithist prophet, aligning with its practice of adapting ancient figures (e.g., Noe/Noah, Osire/Osiris).
In Oahspe: A New Bible, Noe (Noah) is associated with a major cataclysmic event: the submersion of the continent of Pan (also called Whaga), commonly referred to as the Deluge or Flood of Waters.
Unlike the biblical account, which emphasizes a single ark with animals and Noah's family, Oahspe's version focuses on saving the I'hins and righteous mortals under angelic direction, with less emphasis on a literal single boat carrying paired animals.
Similarities: Both feature a righteous figure named Noe/Noah, divine warning, construction of an ark/arc to survive a flood caused by human corruption, and the restart of civilization with preserved divine teachings.
