You had to start, didn’t you.
Interesting that they mention Niagara Falls. There is a dissertation about how they think the Niagara River began at American Memory...I thought of it as I began to read this little ditty as there is a similarity...
You just know that Bush, Chenney and Haliburton caused this!
That would have been something to see!
NIAGARA FALLS.....Slowly...I...turned...step...by...step....inch...by...inch...
I read a scientific article about this 30+ years ago. The flood did not create the Med, the Med dried up over many millenia when the strait at Gibralter closed. They know it dried up because of the salt domes found at the bottom of the Med which only form as a salty body of water dries up. When the blockage at the strait broke open again it would have created a waterfall so large that its roar would have been heard for hundreds of miles. It did not refill immediately, it refilled to level over a longer period of time.
Suppose the same thing happened w/ Lake Erie ? There are salt mines under the lake...
So Moses was 5.3 million years ago when he rode on the ark of the covenant?
Yeah, but what ancient culture indicates in its history a catastrophic flood?? I mean name ONE.
There have been many catastrophic floods throughout history and all over the world and most cultures have some story about one or more. This one is 5.6 million years so I really doubt you’ll find some ancient culture with writing about something that old.
A major flood from the Mediterranean sea to the Black sea is possibly what is thought of the source for the Biblical and Sumerian accounts.
Mesopotamian? (The Epic of Gilgamesh tells of a catastrophic flood.)
LOL you are old to remember that one...(me too :O(
Largest salt mine I believe is under Detroit....
chuckles to you, thats the story of my life...a day late and a dollar short....:O(
