story—based on a real global event? In this episode of HISTORY
FOR SLEEP from Sleepy Time History, we trace the "memory of
water" through flood myths across every culture and reveal the
science behind a dramatic deluge 11,000 years ago: melting ice,
megafloods, rising sea levels, lost coastlines, and how ancient
humans survived and migrated.

surprising ways this deluge shaped early civilization.





Watch to uncover the truth behind global flood myths, learn about
