>> The Noah story is the Jewish version of the Akkadian (per-Summerian) Gilgamesh flood story. Much more likely that the flood was experienced in the Persian Gulf when rising seas broke open the Strait of Hormuz. This is also the site of Eden. Can’t see how the ark got to Mount Ararat. Methinks there is something up there, but what it is is beyond me. <<
The end of the last Ice Age over 10,000 years ago had Glaciers melting so fast that it would have made it’s own puddle under Al Gore’s fat behind. This occurred in both Asia, Europe and North America. It is no wonder there is a cultural history of the “Great Flood”.

Add into it the desertification of the Middle East and North Africa and you would be condensing large hunter gather populations into small riverine places (e.g., Tigres, Euphrates, Nile) resulting in people developing farming and domestication of wild animals. You know, that civilization thingy.
