a number of years ago, I read several articles about sea bed core borings in the Medeteranian. I don't remember when or the dates discovered, but the general gist of the stories were that the Medeteranian was dry land for eons, then all of a sudden, it changed into sea bottom - like over night, or at least in just a few years. This was probably about 10-15 years ago that this story hqppened.

"Medeteranian was dry land for eons, then all of a sudden, it changed into sea bottom - like over night, or at least in just a few years." The Mediterranean has been completely dry at least 40 times, the last time was 5 million years ago. I think it was partially dry ( and in sections ) during the last Ice Age. There are scouring marks on the bottom near Gilbralter that hint at a great water break-through, as yet, undated.
