About five thousand years ago, it seems that a large meteor impacted the Indian Ocean, generating a massive tsunami that would have flooded the region, including Mesopotamia, and also caused weeks of extraordinary rainfall. The meteor left the 18 mile diameter Burckle Crater in the floor of the Indian Ocean. This could be the basis for the story of Noah, with the identification of Mt. Ararat in Iran becoming more plausible.

Seems Noah woulda mentioned something in the scriptures about a little 'bump' just prior to the massive flooding...And of course he just outright lied about it raining for so long...

Burckle crater and evidence in its sediments provide proof of an impact, and numerous Flood accounts describe extensive rains, with Genesis itself saying that “And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.”
