I should point out that this timeline does not

exist in the Bible either. It was the invention

of one Bishop Ussher a few hundred years ago. He

did some interesting mathematics to arrive at

the 4004 B.C. figure.

 

There certainly may have been a great event that

many cultures new about. However, myths tend to

propagate quite easily between cultures, and ancient

India had very strong ties to the Middle East through

trade. I would not be surprised if the story was

brought back from the Fertile Crescent at some point

by some sailors.

 

Note that the flood myth is entirely absent in the

the oldest available strata of Indian religious

literature, the Rg Veda, Brahmanas, and Upanishads.
