Kushites and progeny of Japheth’s son Madai while they were building the Indus Valley Civilization perpetuated the story of the global flood, different though in some details from the Genesis account such as that “Manu” (Noah) and the “Seven Rishis” (Noah’s wife, three sons and their wives) landed in the Himalayas (in reality in the mountains of Ararat see Page title Natural Selection by Noah’s Flood), and that only plant seeds were stored on the Ark, that the animals were created by Manu while the floodwater was receding as more and more land was exposed.
