Flooding myths around the world
|
Zoroastrian
Ahura Mazda warned Yima that destruction in the form of floods,
subsequent to the melting of the snow, was threatening the sinful
world and gave him instructions for building a vara in which specimens of small and large cattle, humans,
dogs, birds, fires, plants and foods were to be deposited
in pairs.
