Echoes of Ararat: A Collection of Over 300 Flood Legends from North and South America

by Nick Liguori

More than 300 Flood traditions from all over North and South America are included, organized by regions beginning in Canada and proceeding southward.
In Echoes of Ararat, author Nick Liguori contends that oral traditions of the Flood and the survival of the few inside the floating Ark-are even more prevalent than previously thought, and they powerfully confirm the truth of the Genesis account. This unprecedented work carefully documents hundreds of native traditions of the Flood-as well as the Tower of Babel and the Garden of Eden-from the tribes of North and South America. Learn what the Cherokee, Lakota, Iroquois, Cheyenne, Inuit, Inca, Aztec, Guaraní, and countless other tribes claimed about the early history of the world. Liguori also shares many evidences for the historical reliability of Genesis, and shows that the Genesis Flood account is not dependent on the Epic of Gilgamesh or other Near-Eastern texts, as skeptics claim. Rather, its author Moses had access to ancient records passed down by the early Patriarchs, including Joseph, Jacob, Abraham, and even Noah himself.

4.5 stars but I rounded up. It is what it claims to be: a large collection of flood stories from across the Americas. Hundreds of tribes and peoples whose centuries-old oral and written traditions all attest to a global flood. I enjoyed the many details and how they layer together beautifully to paint the Genesis account despite the expanses of time, distance, and language. I do wish there was an expansion on the objection materials in the conclusion as those included were quite cursory.

Further evidence that Noah's flood actually happened; the author managed to find over 300 stories from literally one end of the Americas to the other. These stories are simply the ones that the author feels haven't' bee influenced by Catholic missionaries or by protestants, so there could have been far more from this hemisphere. So many of the stories have numerous similarities with the Genesis account (such as the use of a boat to save animals from the flood, sending out animals to discover if the flood ended, etc.)

As a small criticism, the author also included a brief appeal about "Jesus Christ as Savior" which is unfortunately common in Protestant creation science books.
