The Bible is silent on where Noah might have been born. Also, I am not aware of any midrash (non-binding Jewish tradition) that seeks to answer this question. If we look back to the very early pagan traditions on which the story of Noah is sometimes considered to have been based, then those traditions usually place his counterpart somewhere in Mesopotamia.

∙ 8y agoThe story of Noah's Flood is remarkably similar to the Flood story of Umapishtim in the much older Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. On that evidence, some scholars believe that the Epic of Gilgamesh is the most likely source for the story of Noah's Flood, or at least they derived from an even older source common to both.

∙ 8y agoThe narrative of Noah and the Flood is in Genesis ch.6-9. Because the Flood was a worldwide event, it was recorded (with sometimes varying details) by hundreds of widely-scattered peoples. It is the Hebrew Bible which preserves the original wording unblemished by idolatrous drivel, something which the Sumerians and others failed to do.

A:Ian Wilson (Before the Flood) believes that the historical event that led to the story of Noah's Flood was the inundation of the low-lying fertile plain where the Black Sea is now. Archaeologists have begun to research this possibility and have found some valuable evidence that may support this theory. Noah's Ark was not a historical artefact and will therefore never be found, but it is very possible that in time, archaeologists will be able to prove that the inundation of the Black Sea was the reason for the story of Noah.
