Scientists Uncover Evidence of a Colossal Megaflood That Refilled the Mediterranean Sea

Agree. So many other ancient civilizations have accounts of the Flood. No other way to explain it other than a worldwide event.

[logi_cal869]

That was not the timeline for the mega flood.

Read it again.

Where did all this water come from?

Rain....and from under the earth.

Scientists have discovered enough water under the earth that IF it were on the surface would cover the mountains.

There is a theory that the Grand Canyon was not formed over millions of years but in just a few weeks.

According to the theory there was a huge ice dam that gave way sending billions of acre feet of water down through Arizona and gouged out the canyon very rapidly.

The 1980 eruption of Mt St Helens proves that water carving out these canyons and the hydrological sorting that occurs (leaving layers) occurs in days.

[1Old Pro]

Estimates suggest the megaflood had a discharge from 68 to 100 Sverdrups (Sv), with one Sv equal to one million cubic meters per second.

And we're all worried about the temperature rising .1 degree Celsius?

[Openurmind]

Oddly, that looks like a man made mound with a ramp and ring walls.

[ealgeone]

I can believe it....water is the most destructive thing on the planet.

Adding the keyword, not pinging. During the 600,000 or so years that the Med was more or less empty, the Nile and other rivers left canyons and the alluvial fans that are now submerged. When drilling was done to check the integrity of the lower strata prior to the construction of the Aswan High Dam, it was found that the Nile canyon was 200 meters below sea level that far south.

One only has to notice the water lines on the walls of the Grand Canyon to realize something happened long ago.

It is claimed the “flood” breach force caused sediment from the Caribbean Sea floor to be deposited into the Mediterranean bed.

That Gibraltar collapse obviously was massive.

“The Zanclean megaflood was an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon, with discharge rates and flow velocities dwarfing any other known floods in Earth’s history,”

Thank GOD!

I thought it was from a webcam!!!

Closer in time to us, is the draining of Lake Bonneville.

During dry times here in central Indiana, I can dig down about 4 feet and find water in my backyard!

All that water moving may have changed (slightly) the rotational speed of the earth.

[Paul R.]

It’s a pretty poor theory. Water carrying debris cannot cut a channel like that, through rock, at velocities the water could attain, in a short time, no matter how much water was dammed up. It’s pretty simple physics, actually.

If sedimentary soil, instead of rock, was involved, a canyon could be cut fairly quickly.

[Paul R.]

Nothing remotely close to the Grand Canyon was carved out @ Mt. St. Helens. That MSH canyon was cut into fresh mud and ash, and is (was) only about 20 meters deep. It's not even all that impressive, really, given the soft substrate it had to work with.
