Thanks BrewingFrog. The impact crater dating from about 2000 BC (now I'd better go look through some files) was located in Iraq; there's also proxy data from caves in, hmm, okay, I've really gotta go look through some files...

No sweat! If it hadn’t been for all your posts and pinglists, I would still be lost on most of this. It’s good to give back just a little...

...and the seven judges of Hell, the Annunaki, raised their torches, lighting the land with their livid flame. A stupor of despair went up to heaven when the god of the storm turned daylight into darkness, when he smashed the land like a cup. One whole day the tempest raged, gathering fury as it went, it poured over the people like tides of battle; a man could not see his brother nor the people be seen from heaven. Even the gods were terrified at the flood, they fled to the highest heaven, the firmament of Anu; they crouched against the walls, cowering like curs.
