The Great Flood (The Deluge) 2344 - 2343BC - Started in the 600thyear of Noah's life.
Although many understand it "rained for 40 days and 40 nights" itactually lasted for 150 days (5 months) because
after Noah, his family, and the animals entered the Ark "And theflood was forty days upon the earth; and and the
waters increased, and bare up the ark, went upon the face of thewaters." (Genesis 7:17, King James version)

whole heaven, were covered. " (Genesis 7:18, King James version)
"And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days." (Genesis 7:24, King James version)
After the 150 days, the flood resided enough for the ark to land onthe mountains of Arafat. However, the ark was
not vacated for approximately another 229 days at which time Noahbuilt the altar. (Genesis 8:1-21, King James version)
