At least 40 times. There are deep scouring marks on the inside bottom at Gibralter.
I suspect that the Mediterranean was somewhat lower (and stable) at a point prior to the end of the Ice Age.
When the 'break-through' ocurred at Gibralter and the Med began filling swamping the many islands...there would have been refugees everywhere...coastal towns would have been flooded also. It would be enough to make a person believe that the whole world was flooding and rush to build a big boat way up on one of the Ararat mountains.
When the break-though ocurred at the Bosphorus, it just confirmed that the end was near.
BTW, I also suspect that the mummies from the Tarim Basin may have been refugees from all this flooding...they were pushed way out to the margins of liveable areas.
These refugees probably spread farming and the Indo-European languages across greater Europe too.

Way cool!
Atlantis, probably. Atlantis was legend when Solon visited Egypt and Sonchis told him the tale of the city state that sank beneath the sea.
What a fascinating thread that was, thanks for reminding me.
Drummond:
Look, Mr Brady.
These are the fossil remains of a marine prehistoric creature found in this county, and which lived here millions of years ago when these mountain were underwater.
Brady:
I know. The Bible gives a fine account of the Flood.
But your professor's mixed up on his dates. That rock is not more than 6,000 years old.
Drummond:
How do you know?
Brady:
A fine biblical scholar, Bishop Ussher, has determined for us the exact date and hour of the Creation. It occurred in the year 4004 BC.
Drummond:
Well, that's Bishop Ussher's opinion.
Brady:
It's not an opinion. It's a fact, which the bishop arrived at through computation of the ages of the prophets as set down in the Old Testament.
In fact, he determined that the Lord began the Creation on 23rd October, 4004 BC, at 9am.
Drummond:
Is that Eastern Standard Time?
Or Rocky Mountain Time?
It wasn't Daylight Saving Time, the Lord didn't make the sun until the fourth day.
