Megaflood? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............
It’s curious that they fail to cite a timeline for such a flood.
What a crisis!!! The media must have gone bonkers!!!
If a megaflood happens a million years before a human can hear it, is it a crisis?
Of possible interest ping
Hmmm... Seems I heard about that before. IN SUNDAY SCHOOL!
Noah way
Must have been like Death Valley on steroids prior to the flood.
You don’t say...
Imagine that.
Genesis chapters 6 through 11 might have an explanation.
Groovy.
The megaflood should’ve been thought about earlier, but it’s just to0 cool and too terrible to fathom almost. We know that water has flowed into the Mediterranean, not out from it. So once we establish that the Mediterranean was once isolated from the Atlantic Ocean and therefore dried out, what else could have happened? It couldn’t have filled up by rain or else once filled, it would continue to fill and have a net outflow. In fact, the climate being hotter and dryer before being filled, it would be more endorheic. (That’s what you call a lake that gets more inflow than outflow.)
The only other option is that it filled up from the ocean. But once the Straits of Gibraltar were breached, why suspect a trickle? The rushing water would quickly carve a deeper and deeper channel; we KNOW the Straits are deep!
The torrent of water to suddenly fill an oceanic basin must be inconceivable! It’s 17,000 feet deep, with an average depth of a mile!
And for those leaping to the next conclusion: No, this is too early for Noah, but yes, the Black Sea, which is also immense, would have filled by cataclysmic flood from the Mediterranean through the Bosphorus straits within a few thousand years of our best guess as to when Noah lived.
And we're all worried about the temperature rising .1 degree Celsius?
Oddly, that looks like a man made mound with a ramp and ring walls.
Earlier on FR, sorted:
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.
Climate Change.
Thank GOD!
I thought it was from a webcam!!!
A pretty good fantasy series by Randall Garrett and Vicki Ann Heydron - The Gandalara Cycle - is set in the dry bed of the Mediterranean. The last book of the series has the dam at Gibraltar beginning to give way as the inhabitants frantically climb the walls to higher ground. This is one of my periodic re-reads. They were supposedly written mostly by Heydron - Garrett’s wife - from an outline that he made.
