low-lying plain of the mesopotamian region & the Persian gulf wouldn't require more than 200 or 300 ft water depth for noah not to be able to see hills or mtns due to the earth's curvature. when noah did see land, he released the dove which returned with an olive tree leaf. this was done in the context of "the water still on the face of the whole earth" (perspective of ancient people).

200 foot mountains? these are hills aren't they.

The UN Environmental Programme's definition of "mountainous environment" includes any of the following:[11]

Elevation of at least 2,500 m (8,200 ft);
Elevation of at least 1,500 m (4,900 ft), with a slope greater than 2 degrees;
Elevation of at least 1,000 m (3,300 ft), with a slope greater than 5 degrees;
Elevation of at least 300 m (980 ft), with a 300 m (980 ft) elevation range within 7 km (4.3 mi).
Using these definitions, mountains cover 33% of Eurasia, 19% of South America, 24% of North America, and 14% of Africa.[12] As a whole, 24% of the Earth's land mass is mountainous.

You are trying to rationalise the irrational.

Time to let Noah go into the myth pile and move on.

Except if you do that it throws the rest into doubt doesn't it! remove one card and the whole house falls down.

said 'see' the mountains. for instance, one can be located in the center of the san joaquin valley of calif (narrower than the mesopotamian valley) and cannot see the mountains east or west.
