Water, ping. Can’t help but wonder at all the pre-Clovis evidence that has been washed away over time.

These were not global deluges as described in the Genesis story of Noah, but were more focused catastrophic floods taking place throughout the world.

How about natural after-shock like effects from trapped water after Noah's flood waters receded?

The literally interpreted Noah’s flood covered everything.

I've spent a great deal of time in the Scablands. For those unfamiliar with the range of environments in Washington, especially those that think of the Evergreen State as one big forest, you would be surprised at the variety of landscape.

Anyway, this author also wrote "Dirt - the Erosion of Civilization", a very interesting look at how the role of soil management in the development and decline in societies. I highly recommend it.

"The rocks exposed in the canyon walls could not have settled during a single flood because they alternate many times in color, grain size, and composition."
Ignorance speaks.

..... the Tlingit used to live in peace and abundance in Glacier Bay [ALASKA]....But this girl was kept there for three years, which is a very long time. One day she saw a glacier very far away, and perhaps because she was unhappy with her seclusion, she called to it like a dog, saying “Glacier, here, here.”

To everyone’s alarm, the glacier started to grow, started to advance on the Tlingit, fast, faster than a dog could run. Everyone saw it charging toward them and they got into their boats to flee, to leave Glacier Bay and find a new place to dwell...

When I spoke to Bertha, I told her I had read this story, and I wanted to know, how do the Tlingit hold these stories today? Are they valued as legends, or are they believed, the way history is believed?

She told me that it may be hard for you to accept that a glacier would run as fast as a dog, but we’ve researched the area and we know that the Tlingit of her village came down from Glacier Bay, and they regard it as their sacred home. The archaeological evidence indicates that the area was inhabited around 2000 years ago by a people evidencing cultural continuities with the Tlingit of today, until they were driven out by a long period of ice. When the glaciers receded after the end of the Little Ice Age in the Middle Ages, the Tlingit appear to have moved (back?) into the area.

She told me that there are many stories that can be told to outsiders, like the ones I read in my book, and many songs that are sung for anyone. But then there are stories and songs that are private, known to the families and houses, and those stories have a lot to say about the world, and who we are.

I've just returned from a 2 1/2 week trip by car to CA. Part of our trip took us across Wyoming (Highway 80). There we saw the most interesting rock formations rising out of the plain.

This picture is especially dramatic, but formations like this were everywhere. The sides of the "towers" were obviously sedimentary, but the rock on top was solid and probably was formed by a volcano. What erodeded the sides? Glacier? Flood?
