Which could have come from a bigger flood before that. Do you have a timeline or something that has to do with what you are talking about. I really am interested in it.

Biblical scholars place the global flood about 4,350 years ago. Here are some citations:

2252 BC -- layevangelism.com

2304 BC -- Answers in Genesis (+/- 11 years).

2350 BC -- Morris, H. Biblical Creationism. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 1993.

2370 BC -- TalkOrigins.com

2500 BC -- http://www.nwcreation.net/biblechrono.html

2522 BC -- Dr. Gerhard Hasel

2978-3128 BC -- http://www.asa3.org/archive/ASA/199605/0162.html

3537 BC -- Setterfield (1999)

The Black Sea event was much earlier--that is the subject of the article, determining the age and extent of that flood.

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.
