Already a member? Log inEvery flood story across ancient mythology might be the same story told in different languages. Noah's ark, Kronos, Atlantis, the Hindu deluge, the Babylonian flood. Chance and co-host Dylan Saccoccio walk through the case that they all point to the same archetype and the same hidden meaning.
In this Inner Whirled session: the hidden meaning of Noah's ark, why so many flood heroes share the same traits across unrelated cultures, what Atlantis actually represents in Plato's writing, and the patterns that link the great father figures of world mythology.
