Where was Noah's flood ? (page 2)

You seem to be presenting this as if it were your theory, but this Black Sea/Caspian Sea possible location of the Biblical Flood has been around for years and has been extensively researched scientifically.

The evidence seems to point to a huge breach in the land mass between the two seas at some point in recent history. As a matter of fact, even the fabled Wikipedia ;) has an entry for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_deluge_theory

Edited to add that Burn The Ships has already linked the article in question.

And the Flood story is repeated several ways, I competed in a mythology trivia competition as a boy, and I still remember Zeus (Deus) ending an age in Deucalion and Pyrrha.

There is no doubt in my mind that there was a catastrophic flood of enormous proportions in the past that spawned these histories.

EDIT:

Here is a link to the Greek version of the narrative:

FUNKYDEREK: It's an absurdly ridiculous idea - on a par with saying that Hamlet rode a dinosaur.

You mean the Flintsones is not a documentary?

The Black Sea is believed to have risen some 400 feet and its shoreline moved inland some 24 miles in about 5600 BC when the rising Mediterranean spilled over a rocky sill at the Bosporus into it. I don't see a connection here between the Black Sea flood, which we know took place, and a hypothetical flood in the area of the Caspian Sea which I have here suggested.

In any case, I don't believe the Black Sea flood is a good candidate for Noah's flood since a location for the Garden of Eden has never been proposed near it, which I believe is necessary to fulfill the conditions set down in Genesis for the location of Noah's flood. It is primarily the location for Eden near the Caspian Sea, recently convincingly set forth by David Rohl, that has caused me to take a closer look at the Caspian Sea as the source of Noah's flood.

It's my understanding that the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Caspian Sea are remnants of Tethys - the vast body of water that surrounded the supercontinent, Pangaea.

Whoever wants to make light of this can do so, but I can see either of those areas as a possiblity for the Flood.

The Earth has undergone - and continues to undergo - many changes since its creation. Who can give a definitive answer on when and where events happened?

Snowbird,

Aren't all seas 'remnants of the vast body of water that surrounded the supercontinent'?
