It is thought by some that the biblical flood had its origins in the Black Sea event. In any case the archaeology of that event is interesting to me.
It is indeed very interesting. In some biblical scholarship the ‘world’ can be interpreted to mean the extent of the settlements by the sons of Adam. That may be no more than around the Med and Black Seas and a catastrophic event such as inundation by the Med breaking through to create the Black Sea region could have been the ‘great flood’, but it would need to be accompanied by an inundation from the Atlantic into the Med first, then bursting through to inundated the ‘valley’ where the Black Sea now is.
