The Flood has been dated rather precisely: at 11,100 BC. The "flood" is a local tribal myth and never happened. The idea that it has been precisely dated at 11,100 BC is fiction as well.

11,100 BC? That's before the world existed according to many Biblical literalists.

“The “flood” is a local tribal myth and never happened...” Which locality?
Because “localities” around the globe have ancestral knowledge of the same “myth”...and they are all surprisingly similar.

Well, not such a tribal myth really. The seal level has risen about 340 feet since the glacial sea level minimum which I believe was about 14,000 years ago (there is a chart I will find). Whether the 340 ft happened all at once or not, there certainly were many inundations occurring in the near history time period.
