I've read Pitman's book and there is just too much evidence for his flood theory, starting with a marine shelf well below the present level of the Black Sea. Just one shelf, not a succession of them. And there are village sites down there.

Note this Newsday article's last sentence: "Ryan pointed out that Aksu's team did most of its work outside the Black Sea, mapping the flow of water, the build-up of sediments and other evidence beyond the southern end of the Bosporus."

A two-year event is a geologic blip. The only effective way to discredit the Ryan/Pitman theory is to develop plausible other explanations for their geologic and archaeological evidence underneath the Black Sea.

Woo-hoo! Another rip-roaring, state-of-the-art, science thread here.
