Almost every culture worldwide has great flood myths. It's probably because of the Younger Dryas Period. Glaciers melted, and dumped amounts of water that were larger than The Great Lakes in volume. You can see the evidence of it, if you aren't speculating wildly.
Apparently it happened multiple times. Just not the entire world at once, but certainly from the ancient people's perspective it seemed like it.
