@NoWonderDragon The rise in sea level was a very slow process, From my reading, there is evidence of a meteor strike in the western Indian Ocean, and considerable evidence of water smoothed stones and pebbles all around the Arabian gulf and that area, at heights that could only have been reached by a tsunami.

“The flood” was a tsunami which originated in the western Indian Ocean, it was not a global event as described in the Christian Bible.

@NoWonderDragon The myth of Atlantis remains fascinating and unsolved. You might well be right, but I’m inclined to think Atlantic was somewhere in the Atlantic because the ancient Greeks seemed to know something about it.

@NoWonderDragon The sea level rise from deglaciation was slow, very slow. Look at the situation today with global warming at an unprecedented rate, with massive polar and glacial melting. We barely notice the rising sea level even though it’s progressing rapidly. There is considerable evidence of a large meteor strike in the western Indian Ocean, and a significant layer of water smoothed stones all around the Arabian gulf, the Tigris/Euphrates valley, Pakistan and western India, evidence of a huge tsunami that probably resulted from such a meteor. That is the likely origin of the flood story.

@NoWonderDragon No. That amount or rise would simply have been impossible. Ice melts slowly. Just look at the present day situation with our unprecedented rate temperatures rise and the consequent polar and glacial melt. We barely notice the sea level rising. Of course deglaciation was a much bigger mass of ice, but the process took hundreds of years, not days.

This prehistoric civilisation seems to be unique, not sharing similarities with stone henge or the Egyptian pyramids. Something truly beyond our current understanding.
