Without reading the link as it seems most are just click bait i remember one story that the flood was actually a strait that collapsed, not sure if it was the Bosphorus or Gibralter, may have been the latter as many flooded cities are found in the Mediteranean.

The collapse of the Bosporus flooded a great many towns around, and now below, the Black Sea. Don’t recall the time-frame...5K years ago?

Daniel Ramsey: "i remember one story that the flood was actually a strait that collapsed, not sure if it was the Bosporus or Gibralter, may have been the latter as many flooded cities are found in the Mediteranean."

  1. Not so likely Gibralter, since that last collapsed 5.3 million years ago.

  2. Could have been the Bosporus straight into the Black Sea, circa 5,600 BC.
    Much evidence has been found of ancient village ruins now under many feet of Black Sea water.
    However, no other Biblical accounts are located in this area.

  3. So, even more likely was Persian Gulf flooding, as sea levels rose, circa 6,000 BC.
    Mesopotamia at the head of -- or now under -- the Persian Gulf seems a reasonable location for both Eden and Noah's flood.
