In the traditions of Abrahamic religions, Noah features as the tenth and last of the pre-Flood patriarchs. His story appears in the Hebrew Bible and the Quran. The Genesis flood narrative is among the best-known stories of the Bible. Noah is also portrayed as a "tiller of the soil" and as a drinker of wine.

When Noah began constructing the Ark nobody knows what people thought or said to him. It must have seemed strange because it never rained in Noah's world; that means no floods. Noah advertised that God was going to destroy the world with a catastrophic flood. It took him and his three sons one hundred and twenty years to complete the ship; fortunately, people lived longer in those times because of the pristine and healthy environment. The problem was humanity; the people were wicked, violent, and corrupt. Even though a major flood warning alarm rang loud and long the people were unbelieving and indifferent to God; only eight persons survived the Great Flood.
