Which story will you remember the most: the boring and mundane, or the fantastical and exciting?
Most stories back then were also passed around by word of mouth, so each retelling will be slightly different (possibly also more exciting than the last). By the time someone decides to write it down it has already been distorted. Probably not much is left of the original story.
Maybe the story of Noah’s ark started out as a real story of a man who managed to save a few of his livestock from a stormy day, and then it somehow got so distorted it became a story about a man surviving a world encompassing extinction level event.
