What are Some Prehistoric Deluges?

The prehistoric flood refers to the prehistoric earth's northern hemisphere suddenly surrounded by floods of unknown origin. The nearly 1,000-meter-high flood peaks roared towards the land with the thunderous potential, engulfed the plains and valleys, and engulfed all the creatures in these places. The mountains trembled in the waves, and the land moaned in the great changes ... This is a record in ancient myths and early religions. Some people think that it is the memory of the human society, and some people think that it is a true truth.

Prehistoric flood

In any national history and legend that has a sufficient time span in the world, there are amazingly similar "flood" legends. And there are amazing similarities in the legendary time, place, characters, and content! ^[2]

A recent study confirms that the melting of the huge ice sheet in the North Atlantic caused sea levels to rise sharply more than 8,000 years ago, and scientists point out that this event may be the origin of the story of Noah's Ark saving humanity recorded in the Bible.

According to the Spanish "World News" reported on the 25th, scientists at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom and the University of Wollongong in Australia pointed out that the Laurentide ice sheet in North America, which occurred between 8740 and 8160, has melted, causing the earth for nearly 100,000 years The largest increase in freshwater has resulted in a 1.4-meter rise in Mediterranean sea levels.

Studies have pointed out that rising sea levels caused the Black Sea, which was still a freshwater lake, to be flooded with salt water, causing the Black Sea water to increase and become salty before about 8200 years. The Neolithic agricultural population living along the Black Sea coast was most affected and they were unable to continue farming. At its worst, 72,700 square kilometers of land were flooded. This period lasted about 34 years. The same phenomenon also occurs on the Mediterranean coast, where approximately 1,120 square kilometers of land is flooded.

All this has caused 145 thousand farmers (mainly Eastern Europe) to move west to find more suitable farmland. Their arrival has accelerated local social change and promoted lifestyle changes, which is likely to be the process of early agricultural transmission to other parts of Europe.

The research team leader British professor Chris Turney pointed out that this incident was passed down from generation to generation, giving the impression that a flood occurred throughout the world, which may also be the origin of Noah's Ark story.
