Of course floods happened.
They still happen.
Ancient cultures didnāt understand how/why and made up stories to explain why (the god was mad).
If there ever was a āworld covering floodā where did the water go?
Rational explanation: there were regional floods and that was the regionsā āwhole world.ā
Nah bro, great floods.
They talked of world ending floods.
All of them!
Exactly. āTheir worldā ended.
THE world didnāt.
Like black death level floods where 20%-30% of humans are wiped out, not literally 100%
Way bigger than standard floods
I listened to a joe rogan podcast years ago where this dude Randall Carlson described a mega flood event he called the Younger Dryas caused by a asteroid about 12,000 years ago. He had some really cool photos - which I cannot find searching online at the moment - of places on Earth that look like theyāre shaped by an unimaginable amount of water.
One picture was of a mile wide canyon with two symmetrical, perfectly conical holes bored into the rock. Their shape looked just like when you stir liquid in a glass.
Thereās floods caused by a whole lotta rain, then thereās floods fueled by rapid melting of glacial ice. The podcast is worth a listen, or at least Google younger dryas.
Now that we all know the shape of the world, the way that weather and water cycles workā¦if there was a floos that covered the whole world for 40 days, where did the water go?
The ocean would be at that height.
Realisticallyā¦a great flood happened, wrecked everything in a region, and drained to the ocean.
People lived next to the water/river bc that is a requirement for life. Thatās also the floodplain.
So, they got wrecked.
Why would they deserve this? Only rationale is what they knewā¦that their god forsook them.
We use the tools we have on hand to explain the world around us.
We had a lot fewer tools 3000 yrs ago.
Donāt forsake the tools we have today in favor of the old ones.
