So they survived the Noahic Flood 3,000 years ago?. How’d they DO that?

Air pockets maybe? When termite hills get flooded, they have to survive until the water recedes. They apparently can be underwater for about a day before drowning. As to Noah’s flood, God would’ve provided for all the creatures who could survive without the ark.

I guess the great flood of Noah’s time didn’t wipe out the termites.
