Some Muslims say: Noah was the second Adam; they mean: all mankind perished except Noah and his seed, who reproduced into the present mankind.

I believed this until I read The Quran interpretation by Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Hilly (or as it is written in his identity card and the death certificate: Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Mehdi),
So he wrote Al-Hilly because he sojourned in the city of Hilla (Babylon), in Iraq.

He said: The deluge of Noah did not involve the entire Earth, but only one of its countries: Iraq, particularly in the north of Iraq, near Nineveh or the present Mosil city.

This is in the Quran 11: 48, which means:
([Then after the ship settled on the mountain and the water disappeared, the angel addressed him:]
it was said:

"O Noah, descend [from the mountain to the plain land] in safety [granted] by Us, and blessings
a on you and on [some] nations of those [of the black and yellow races b] who are with you [in the Ark.]

But [some other] nations [in other countries of the earth that the deluge did not reach]
c, We shall allow them to enjoy prosperity [with wealth and children in the life of the World] and then there will touch them from Us a painful torment [according to their infidelity and association with God.])
.....................................................

48 a i.e. lasting bounties and increasing grace.

48 b i.e. And on the other races who embarked with you in the ark and who were not the seed of Adam, but some of them were of the black race and the others of the Yellow Race; that is because the human beings existing on our earth are four races:
The Black: Abyssinia and Sudan.
The Yellow: the people of China.
The Red: Red Indians: the indigenous people of America.
The White Race: they are the Children of Adam.

48 c This indicates that the ‘deluge’ did not involve the entire earth as a whole, but it was confined to one of its countries [: Iraq], and that there were other inhabitants else than Noah’s people, but they were in another country far from Noah’s people, and therefore the deluge did not involve them.

==============================================================

It maybe Muslims took such concepts that Noah was a second Adam, from the Israeli inventions and fabrications: also the Israelite forged other lies adopted by Muslims that Sam was white and Cham was black because he laughed when he saw the shame of his father Noah exposed, while Sam went forward and covered the shame of his father.
While this is wrong and fabricated and it is not mentioned in the Quran anything of that.

Was that the first flood or one of the global floods. Middle Terrain Sea=The Mediterrianean Sea. Your story is Sumerian
Atra Hasis = Babylonian Noah archetype, probably a dozen others, the basic story is real enough, sediment dosn't lie, certainly more than one vessel of various kinds, only the wealthy and worthy were advised of the departure times to the new land. We,re both lucky to have had skin in the win game at one time. Mine would have worked the engine room.
