Noah is identified as the tenth antediluvian patriarch and a heroic figure in the Hebrew Bible and the Islamic Quran. He is most famous for building an ark to save his family and representative samples of all the kinds of creatures from the Earth during the Great Flood.
Pre-Biblical (circa 2500-2200 BCE) or Biblical (circa 2000-1400 BCE)
According to the biblical narrative, Noah was a righteous man, and God saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil continually. So God decided to destroy the earth and all living things, saving only Noah, his family, and pairs of every kind of animal and bird from the deluge.
