I tried applying these to various Australian Aboriginal cultures (not that I’m a huge expert, but I’ve read a handful of books relating to the topic).Most of the list fail outright. For almost all of the few that remain, it’s a matter of interpretation (such as just how far you’re willing to twist the concept of “elf” before you give it up).

It’s funny, I always thought that bringing up flood myths from other cultures was an argument against the Noah flood being valid. Like, there are flood stories without Noah or god in other cultures so the Noah one is just one of several and not “true” in any real sense of the word. So now the existence of other flood myths (however few or many there may be) is supposed to be support for the Noah thing? Maybe, if you never read any of them I guess.
