It seems like it could be a foundation for the Noah story.
Some of these accounts may be drawn from real events and conflated enormously by time and religious belief structures. Others may just be whoppers that got swapped around the campfire so long that people forgot that they were made up.
Greek mythology is probably the same - Many events in The Iliad may have a basis in fact, while The Odyssey is mostly made up. The latter makes better movies anyway.
