now that you mention it the Black Sea Flood and farmers from anatolyia moving to europe about 7 thousand years ago do coincide
nice catch.
any evidence besides the coincidence of the two events?
Ryan and Pitman made the suggestion in their book, citing the sudden appearance of fortification and/or violent ends to various older settlements in Anatolia, M.E., and possibly elsewhere. It's not unlikely that the population of that now-submerged area was very large, due to then-current climate possibly as large as the surrounding areas put together.
