Aaargh! It wasn't "Noah's" Flood! Can we please stop refering to
the Bible as some kind of exact historical record. It's a set
of mythologies that happen to have some historical facts thrown
in, every now and then, for good measure. Personally, I'm very
much doubting the Lake Euxine event as a source of the
flood myths in the Middle-East. I think these legends are older
than this and relate to Old Europe mythology, found along the
Mediterranean, that tended to be very nautical by design. The
Middle-Eastern flood myths are nothing more than a "second
creation" myth. They do not need a prehistorical flood to
provide their origin because it can be well seen that they were
built on a watery myth of creation. Check out the Egyptian
creation myths and compare it to the flood. They both start
with a primordial ocean... I rest my case. Case solved.
