Some say: "From the Mediterranean; to the Black Sea."


Yep, there is the possibility of an ancient flood that may have made
a mess out of the Mediterranean. I believe this may have been possible.

The one I wonder about is the Fundie account where the water had to
cover the entire earth. This means that it had to cover the top of Mt
Everest. That is one honkin' load of water!

I agree with your statement, but disagree with your hypothesis.

Mike, you have to remember history. When Genesis and Gilgamesh were
written the world was flat, the Americas did not exist, the East
[Orient] did not exist, Mt. Everest and Russia did not exist, most
likely western Europe did not exist [in the experience of the authors].
The people of the UR valley [possibly today's IRAQ] did not know that
Israel, Lebanon, Greece, etc existed. Their world was very, very
localized. Their written language had not yet developed.

So, a major flood, similar to the Mississippi basin flood of a few years
ago, a 500 year flood [0.2% probable], would be a flood of their whole
world !!!

It is generally conceded that a flood occurred in the Near East in the
period of pre-history. This flood was carried in ORAL traditions in
several cultures. It appears in the subsequent writings of several cultures.

So, the science community should focus on a fairly significant flood,
0.2% probable, in the near east possibly 4000 to 6000 years BCE.

Now, I ask, what has this to do with ham radio antennas?? Seems like we
drifted off subject!
