Too tired to read your Sundaland argument, blam. I'll study it tomorrow. How likely is it that the story of such an Asian disaster would have been preserved in Greek history? I think it far more likely to have been passed down if it happened nearer to continental Europe. No doubt many civilizations have been inundated by sudden floods like the one that created the Scablands in Washington state when ancient Lake Missoula created its 'instant irrigation project.' As for the 9000 year date, I doubt it's anywhere close to reliable. I think it's philosopher talk for "Long, long ago in a country far away...."
