Was the flood of Noah world wide

The Lord God took the man and put him in Ethiopia. 

Genesis 2:15 KJV - And the LORD God took the man, and put - Bible Gateway

Genesis 2 says the Lord placed the man in Ethiopia and we know that the word Ethiopia is a Romanized word we also know that one of the names of Ethiopia is Absyinia which could represent the bottom, Abysinia including the name of the ancestor and the aba which is father. 

European Christian vs the Ancient Christians

Ancient Christian - the flood was in Ethiopia. 

Protestants Christian - flood destroyed the world

Based on European churches Noah was the ancestor of all man, but ancient definition of the word earth is land or region and this means the flood was local and  Noah migrated from the area where man was taken (ETHIOPIA OR KENYA) and landed in NUBIA. The proof is in the books written about the movement of the Nile RIVER. 

If true, then we should consider that the people of Genesis 1-6 populated the world.

We should consider that the family of Cain were the first or oldest tribes of Africa whose identify themselves with scarification and built the first cities outside of the Garden. 

Based on logic and ancient definitions was Noah was the ancestor a specific group of people who lived in East Africa and Asia or was he the ancestor of the world. His children would avoid meet with blood in it.
