The people that died didn't write anything. It was Noah's descendants that would write these flood traditions. Yet because of the incident at the Tower of Babel, they forgot the complete story, and thus this is why we have so many traditions.
Sorry but supporters of the flood fable have often played the "cultures across the globe" documented it as their proof, through out any thread where they attempt to validate an impossible event.
I think it is interesting that not once do any of the writers of the Old Testament or New Testament consider Noah or the flood to be a cute story not based on fact. I'll just quote the New Testament since it would be too many verses if the OT were quoted:
Mat_24:37 For even as the days of Noah, thus shall be the presence of the Son of Mankind."
Mat_24:38 For as they were in those days before the deluge, masticating and drinking and marrying and taking in marriage until the day on which Noah entered into the ark,
Luk_3:36 of Cainan, of Arphaxad, of Shem, of Noah, of Lamech,
Luk_17:26 And according as it occurred in the days of Noah, thus will it be in the days of the Son of Mankind also."
Luk_17:27 They ate, they drank, they married, they took out in marriage, until the day on which Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came and destroys them all."
Heb_11:7 By faith Noah, being apprized concerning that which is not as yet being observed, being pious, constructs an ark for the salvation of his house, through which he condemns the world, and became an enjoyer of the allotment of the righteousness which accords with faith."
1Pe_3:20 He heralds to those once stubborn, when the patience of God awaited in the days of Noah while the ark was being constructed, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through water,
2Pe_2:5 and spares not the ancient world, but guards Noah, an eighth, a herald of righteousness, bringing a deluge on the world of the irreverent;"
Here is an interesting article on the Grand Canyon proving a world-wide flood:

Well, that just explains it all.
Not only did God act like a neighborhood bully by knocking down the tower of Babel and confusing their speech, he wiped their memory card too!
Ok, that being the case, how do you know that the biblical accounts are the correct ones? Did they just go with the first story they heard when they sat down to write the bible?
In the creation myths which were preserved by the Aztec and other Nahua peoples, the central tenet was that there had been four worlds, or "Suns", previous to the present universe. These earlier worlds and their inhabitants had been created, then destroyed by the catastrophic action of leading deity figures. The present world is the fifth sun
