Agreed.
2 biggest floods in history were end of Ice Age, and 6,100 BC
Noahs arc is based on a true story.
Then there's the Solar Maxim thing, with the lightning storms and radiation levels so high trees would burst into flames during the day
Im kinda split on that...
yes... and given that most settlements were on coasts or rivers, very easy to kill most people with a huge flood.
It could be a solar flare, or it could have been a meteor impact.
There's settlements in the English Channel.
And im kinda on the fence about atlantis too... We should fund an underwater exploration expedition off the azores
that flood had to be so big that all these cultures remember it, that blows my mind
I've been working on a map using data from NASA... I'll try to do a quick video with it tonight.
@AlanPowell That's where the meteor impact comes in
Well yeah natural disasters were documented fairly well
Europe used to be twice its current size
@Jabba do you have a sea fall simulator? I can only find sea rise simulators.
Or shitty sea fall simulators
sorry, no... I've only been using satellite images
Oh, a bathymetric map could work too.
And it's believed that the Great Lakes region was home to an inland sea, which was plugged from the Arctic by glacial ice. The ice collapsed, and the sea flooded out through Canada into the Arctic.
"pulls out google"... gimme a sec
speaking of Atlantis though, I saw a theory that it's actually in Africa, supposedly there are these rings in the desert, not sure if i buy it though
Thanks for doing my work for me. Im lazy and on a phone.
@AlanPowell **WAKANDA FOREVER!**
No. If it were in a desert it would be buried in so much sand
You wouldn't even see circles
they are big earth mounds in circles
Sounds like settlements to me.
Topography as at Sept 2004

Bathymetry...
https://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view.php?id=73963
what is that?
oh wait, this is best bathymetry...

here is a short thing about that africa atlantis
haha, yeah that's not gonna load for me
yeah, need to right click and save I'm afraid
This is meant to be a combo of all the data combined into a single map, so similar to what I've been doing myself...

From what I can tell, the only way to monitor increase in land height is to compare reading from year-to-year, so cannot be precise about events in pre-history.
The stuff that is now submerged is different inasmuch that we can see where they are, and can be quite accurate about when they were lost due to impacts/landslips etc.
