"The great flood" ๐
The one which submerged the whole earth for what, 40 days? Wonder where the water went
Someone pulled the great plug
Let's say for the sake of argument for a second that it happened... can you imagine the stench from the trillions of rotting human and animal corpses when it all went away? Noah and clan would have to live with that for months.
So that's why he became a drunk that got angry at his kids when they tried to cover him up while he was blacked-out and naked in his hut?
The Earth's entire human population was only in the tens to hundreds of millions of people when the Younger Dryas Period happened..... Where did the trillions come from? Also I would imagine the bodies got swept into the ocean, and were eaten by lobsters and other carrion feeders.
Edit: I see trillions including animals and plants.
Down the drain into the hollow earth, duh!
Hollow?!? That can't even be possible!
How can a flat disk on a turtle's back be hollow?
No no, the turtle shell is hollow, duh. The hole in the disc just empties into the turtle shell to keep the poor thing hydrated, it's like a camel-turtle basically.
Every time I think you people can't get any dumber, you go and say something like this, and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELVES!
Supposedly the black sea area after the messinian flood (mediterranean was dry in the salinity crysis), where humanity was at the time. Though there's no proof.
Not the whole world. According to the post, water only rose by about 60 m (to the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza + some 100 m (ยพ of its height) compared to current sea level. This would flood most homes back then but less than 25% of land area, so the majority of displaced people would just survive as nomads in the highlands.
Almost every culture worldwide has great flood myths. It's probably because of the Younger Dryas Period. Glaciers melted, and dumped amounts of water that were larger than The Great Lakes in volume. You can see the evidence of it, if you aren't speculating wildly.
Apparently it happened multiple times. Just not the entire world at once, but certainly from the ancient people's perspective it seemed like it.
as it says in the bible, god drank it all
