The Noah story is a war story. The flood was the swarm of enemy troops throughout the land killing and destroying everything in sight. There was no place they didn't go. Noah and his group were collaborators. The raven, dove, and olive branch are metaphors for war and peace.
If you read the fairy tale you will see that Adam & Eve lived down the road from Assyria and Ethiopia. Those places were alive and well after the "flood" with no ill effect from being covered with water. There's zero evidence that they were ever flooded with water.
