When science/educated scholars have no clues of the ancient mythological descriptions of what our ancestors observed around them, they simply reject the mythical telling as superstitious nonsense.
The myth of a Great Flood belongs to the Milky Way symbolism where the white Milky Way band was symbolized as a CELESTIAL RIVER running OVER the Earth and not a huge flood running ON the Earth.
More nonsense. The writer of Genesis expanded on stories of local floods to make a point about the vengefulness of their new god. There is nothing in Genesis that alludes to the milky way.
The Great Flood myth is a celestial mythical telling of the Milky Way and that´s the reason it is told all over the World as the Milky Way are observable all over the world.
Simple mythical logics all over the places.
Deadly local floods were also all over the place. That was true then, it is true now. I'm sure that, to many people in Banda Aceh, it seemed like the whole world was flooded.
If your "Ancient knowledge" asserts that the biblical Genesis flood refers to the milky way, then that is just another nail in its ridiculous coffin.
