ancient people had problems

I think that most of the stories in ancient history are the same because there true. If everyone has the same incounter (example. the flood). Then something like that must have happened. since some of the stories have the same theme but different chartere's. I think that someone actually did the doin but other people wanted to seem cool so they stole the main parts of the story and inserted there name. I also think that clearly they had some problems in ancient history. Even if some of the stories are exadrated to seem cooler or because someone else added more. They still got punished by god because they did something wong..
