For anyone further interested in the subject, I recommend Noah's Flood by William Ryan and Walter Pitman. The subtitle is: The new scientific discoveries about the event that changed history.

They are marine scientists at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia U.

The book discusses at length the geological, oceanographic, archealogical, and linguistic evidence to back up this theory.

Thanks, I have it and also highly recommend the book.

I speculate that the ancestors of The Desert Mummies,in China, were also refugees from this flood. They spoke the language Tocharian A & B which is an extinct Indo-European language.

Another excellent book is The Tarim Mummies by Victor Mair.

I have this book and it is a great read. Whether you agree or disagree with the premise their presentation is very scholarly and thought provoking.
