Noah’s ark is a story in The Holy Bible, it tells about a human named Noah, he is the only kindness human. Because of many bad things human do, like cutting down trees, polluting the river and harming animals, the god will make a big flood to distroy the world. Because Noah is the only human that have kindness, the god warned Noah to build a big boat that can contain a couple of animals in each species, a male and a female in each couple.
just as the boat was finished, the god lower the rain down, the rain goes on for 40 days and nights, when it was over, the world is disdroied and every thing is killed expect the animals on the boat and Noah’s family that is also on the boat.
220 days later, the boat finally stop near the Ararat, 40 days later, Ararat’s mountain head finally came out of the water, Noah let a crow out to find land, but no land are found. 7 days later,Noah let out a pigeon，this time，it came back with a olive branch. 7 days later, Noah last let out the pigeon and it never come back,Noah and his family and the animals finally came out of the boat.

this story is surprisingly similar to the Chinese myth” yu curse the water”,they both have a intertextuality of floods and end. But, as flood give people death, it also gave people good soil for farming, both myths had the end of new born, these myths expressed the collaboration in front of disasters, it was a kind of spiritual ballast of human that they wish too have new born and happy lives. https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E8%AF%BA%E4%BA%9A%E6%96%B9%E8%88%9F/4963
