Exactly how long ago was the flood of Noah?

Question

3000 bc? 6000 bc?

That is, if you believe in the story of Noah.

Answer 1

The first event in the Bible that is dated is the birth of Abram who became Abraham, the father of the Jewish nation. The Flood is undated, but it was well before the Birth of Abram in 2000 B.C.

Answer 2

Ah - you who would rise from the ashes. Perhaps the story of Noah might as well. It is derived from a much earlier work known as the Gilgamesh Epic (Ugaritic) and perhaps even earlier works. These were from the area of Ur of the Chaldees, homeland of Abraham as a lad.
Geological study now suggests the area that did indeed sink "whole world when paddling a canoe" is at the end of the Euphrates/Tigris delta area. Too many surrounding cultures have similar stories, even to 8 survivors, to deny some form of cataclysmic water event. The current view tends toward underwater volcanic eruption.

Answer 3

November 2345 B.C. to November 2344 B.C.

Records of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia., their King Lists date to about 3350 B.C., and show an ongoing civilization well through the period of the flood. Egypt felt nothing of the deluge, they had an uninterrupted succession of Dynasties. China's civilization during the Yao Dynasty (between 2400 B.C. – 2200 B.C.) with no record of a cataclysmic interruption.
So Noah’s deluge was a local flood.
