Pretty much every ancient culture has a great flood myth.
That shit probably happened.
Discussion
The Bible, including Genesis and the Old Testament, are accurate.
Buy flood insurance
The Mediterranean basin flooded after the Ice Ages
I was literally just talking about this an hour ago with someone!

This was a great show.
Shut the fuck up
Of course floods happened.
They still happen.
Ancient cultures didn’t understand how/why and made up stories to explain why (the god was mad).
If there ever was a ‘world covering flood’ where did the water go?
Rational explanation: there were regional floods and that was the regions’ ‘whole world.’
Nah bro, great floods.
They talked of world ending floods.
All of them!
Exactly. ‘Their world’ ended.
THE world didn’t.
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 they’re 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.
There’s floods caused by a whole lotta rain, then there’s 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 work…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.
Realistically…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. That’s also the floodplain.
So, they got wrecked.
Why would they deserve this? Only rationale is what they knew…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.
Don’t forsake the tools we have today in favor of the old ones.
