Someone else can help me here locating this.
I saw that about 40,0000 years ago, there was a land-locked sea, and that one of its containing wall broke, releasing what you could really call a Biblical deluge that would rank as one of the major geological events of human history, and that the flood waters were released into some of the most prolific early agricultural areas.
I think I'm mixing up my facts, but based on what I vaguely remember, it wouldn't be surprising that it would be remembered 10's of thousands of years later in greatly exaggerated and mythologized terms. So far the best I can find is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outburst_f...ars_ago.29
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_...hypothesis
So it seems to me the Biblical account could be an exaggeration of a literal (and potentially very awesome to see) event right around or just before the dawn of writing and history.
--edit--
But then I'm wrong about the dates, it would be roughly 8,000 years ago, not 40,000 as I remembered hearing.
