“Can’t take Noah’s story literally.”
I don’t.
What I take away from the story is that their was a massive world wide flood and a near extinction event. It also implies that their was some form of civilization that was wiped out.
The comet research group has been investigating a potential comet impact ~ 12k years ago. Gramm Hancock has grifted off their work but buy are legitimate scientists.
If I'm an archeologist, I would be interested in what happened specifically in the Fertile Crescent, Egypt and Indus Valley.
There must be a weather pattern happening just as civilizations started to emerge that nearly wiped them out.
Monsoons would make sense.
