In 1998, Bob Ballard - the discoverer of the Titanic's remains announced that the Black Sea had once been a 'freshwater' lake and that roughly 7000 BC, the earth holding back the Mediterranean Sea (thru the Bosphorus Sraits) collapsed, resulting in massive flooding that the ancients embellished into 'Flood' myths. This week, scientests announced that roughly 4800 years ago, a large meteor (s) crashed into the Indian Ocean that resulted in a 600 foot tidal wave that hit Madagascar and by extrapolation, all around the Indian Ocean. Wouldn't you agree that modren Science can now explain the reason why so many peoples from those area's had 'flood' myths?
