9. The story of Noah not only comes up in the Old Testament, but also  te Koran, where he is known as the True Messenger of Allah (XXVI: 107) and Grateful Servant of Allah (XVII: 3). We love it when religions intersect and are united by common mythology and beliefs.

Coincidentally, it is noted that Methuselah passed away just seven days before the Great Flood.
