Noah's Flood and Gun-Yu Flood

Biblehub:

Before 2500 BC, The Great Flood, Genesis 7

Centuries later in China, the Great Flood of Gun-Yu:

According to mythological and historical sources, it is traditionally dated to the third millennium BCE, or about 2300-2200 BCE, during the reign of Emperor Yao.
However, archaeological evidence of an outburst flood at Jishi Gorge on the Yellow River, comparable to similar severe events in the world in the past 10,000 years, has been dated to about 1920 BCE.

They were two different floods.

According to a book I read from the Evangelical Library in London, the earliest chinese dynasty who had writing was the Shang dynasty. It mentioned a great flood and said that the god who rebuilt the earth was called Nu Wah. Looks much like Noah.

I can't remember the name of the book, but as I said it is in the Evangelical Library in London. When I worked in London I used to spend many of my lunch hours there. When I joined I asked how many books I could take out at a time and the Librarian said "As many as you can stagger away with." I retired 25 years ago and I have not been there since.
