Lake Agassiz.

Missoula Flood

About that same time humans began dabbling in agriculture which some believe was spurred by the period referred to as the "Younger Dryas"(mini-ice-age). The influx of fresh water from Lake Agassiz disrupted the thermo-haline conveyor in the North Atlantic. These agrarian societies soon developed written language which supplemented oral tradition which may have echoed ancient catastrophes.

The global commonality of flood myths in many cultures also has to do with general sea level rise due to melting glaciers, the gradual sea level rise may have also been the driver for the Polynesian peoples to sail from island to island as the lands they lived on gradually sank beneath the waves.

Spencer O'Dowd but the caspian is already full.....? you mean the aral?

+Flying Creepers The Aral too, but the Caspian Sea is several meters below current sea level. And if global warming persists, rising seas will eventually breach it in a similar catastrophic flood.

Spencer O'Dowd it would be far less dramatic if its only 4 meters

The Caspian Sea currently sits at 28 meters below sea level. And the seas would have to rise by 26 meters to breach it. So a 54 meter breach could be rather dramatic.

It will happen even earlier in the Salton Sea basin which only will require about a 10 meter sea level rise. The Salton Sea is about 72 meters BSL creating at least an 80 meter breach. Don't know how high seas need to rise to breach the saddles separating the Dead Sea, the Afar and Qattara Depressions, or Lake Eyre from the oceans.

Very original

I have read a very similar joke before

Heard another version. An elderly male rural American is warned on television a flood is coming. He says, God will save me. A nieghbor comes to his door and says come, get in the truck, come with us. He says, God will save me. As the waters rise, a firefighter comes by and says better leave. He says, God will save me. Finally, as he sits on the roof his house, a man in a boat comes by and say, get in. He says, God will save me. He drowns and meets God. He asks God, why didn't you save me? God says, I sent you a warning on television. I sent a helpful neighbor. I sent a firefighter. I sent a boat. You just didn't listen.

@Jay Walker My theory is, all humor is based on ontological fallacy. The reason why a joke which starts with "a priest, a Baptist minister and rabbi" is always funny is because you know, a priest, a Baptist minister and rabbi will never get into a rowboat together. If nothing else, they know what they've coming!

Kingsley Kronk K. Like the man who prays to God every week to let him win the Lottery and every week he doesn't win. When he dies and goes to heaven he says to God. "Why didn't you let me win the lottery? I prayed every week without fail, I was a good Christian all my life. Was it asking too much to let me win? God replied. "No, it wasn't asking too much, but you could have at least met me half way and bought a f****ing ticket!"

Randal Osgood or even a local flood of the Iraqi floodplane

Ever read Gilgamesh? Even the teller of that tale has him going to Noah as the oldest person on earth in order to learn about immortality. A lot of the Bible, at least the Old Testament, was borrowed from much older sources. And since just about every surviving culture on earth has a flood myth, I expect the phenomena was more general. But it could have been floods from melting glaciers in the mountains running down the floodplains you mentioned as well.

Read about Lake Agassiz in Wikipedia. Larger in area than all the present Great Lakes combined, its breach in prehistoric times gave sealevel rises globally from 2.8 to 9.6 feet in a short period of time, flooding flat gradient areas such as the Persian Gulf Deltas with hundreds of square miles of water.

there's really not that much evidence that the bible borrowed anything directly from those other accounts. in fact, its far more likely that both accounts are variations on a common source that is much, much older. one thing we can safely say is that there is tremendous amounts of scientific evidence for mega floods occurring across the world around the end of the last glaciation period. given the timeframe for these events, oral accounts would've had to have been passed down for thousands of years before writing was even developed. still, i wouldnt be surprised if somewhere on the bottom of one of these seas, buried in silt, is an underwater cave system full of cave paintings that depict the original events that inspired both stories. now that would be an incredible find!

Sumerians borrowed the story from newly discovered Neanderthal pictographs showing the flooding of Doggerland when the Laurentide ice dam broke.

There is no flooding events in american natives, nor nordic states, nor oceania nor africa subharan. Europe and Middle East share the same history for religious exchange. Mesopotamia also had a massive flooding that left underwater most of the fertile valley of Iraq, where the first civilization established. It is proven by archaeologists that it was thanks to a rupture of a glacier dam in northern Syria where the Tigris River got its water. Hindu civilizations also have a flooding myth, which is because all human civlization centers tends to settle at the borders of rivers and coasts. Several lost cities are underwater in India, water level changed or massive periodical floodings over thousands of years escale happened. Even in Egypt and Greece we have lost cities under water because they were lost to river changes and sea rising. Remember human civilization started after the last glacial period and the planet has become more warm since then with water levels rising. In the future this current interglacial period will end and sea level will go down while the eternal ices in the north and south poles will expand and make half europe and north america uninhabitable under hundreds of meters of glaciers.

It doesn't. Flood myths, not to mention the myths of world destroying fires we find all over the place, could have been regional events, or locally more extreme events.

@@Argentvs - There are Native American legends told by the first peoples of the Pacific Northwest, of the great floods that occurred during the last ice age when the ice sheet covered all of Canada and the northernmost section of the U.S. Look up the "Missoula Ice Age floods" for more info. Professor Nick Zentner dedicates several episodes of his geology videos to the Missoula floods and has an interview with "Randy" a native American. The Missoula Floods created the "scablands" and coulees found throughout Washington state.

No, because this was because of a breach not 40 days of rain

Brian ... So what? A soap-dodging goat herder isn't likely to know shit about plate tectonics, glacial melt, warming climates, or catastrophic dam failures. All he's going to know is that water falls out of the sky and sometimes that causes a flood ... so when he's gonna to try and rationalise a historical cultural memory all he's capable of explaining it with is rain .... lots and lots of rain. Of course the whole 'Noah flood' story is just so much BS, and ultimately comes from older sources in a different region, your excuse that it "was because of a breach not 40 days of rain" has got fuck all to do with anything.

Noah happened around 6,000 years ago. The breach of the Mediterranean happened millions of years ago. Humans hadn't even fully evolved then.

Humans have only been around for ~200,000 years, and there was no mass flood that happen 6,000 years ago ...

@rustytr stfu

negão gameplays its a joke yah dimwits

The pole shift and the melting glaciers that covered the Americas for example raised world wide sea levels. Nothing new under the sun. It's why we find prehistoric fossils of the cave man era in mud band gravel deposits. Think

If 35 quadrillion gallons (0.01% of ocean volume) raises the ocean level 1 inch, 6 quadrillion gallons (volume of Mediterranean sea) means less than a 1/6th of an inch or 4mm change in overall sea level. The Mediterranean sea wasnt totally empty, and all these are approximate to the point where some simple rounding of numbers equals entire country sizes of ocean.

The Med has 0.8% of the worlds water. The Zanclean Flood would have dropped the worlds ocean levels by somewhere between 5 and 10 metres, depending on how much water was still in the Med basin befotre the flood. The tectonic plates of Africa and Europe are closing. The Strait of Gibraltar will close, permanently. Then the Med will dry up again and the worlds oceans will rise again. But thats a few million years in the future.

Paul Bennett the epic of gilgamesh is fallen man's version of the flood and other events.The Bible is the Creator of all things version of events.

@@thomasgagnon4492 what do you mean by fallen man

AD; Advancing Dates. BC; Backwards Chronology. Forget the PC nonsense.

The people who wrote the Epic of Gilgamesh may have been eyewitnesses to the Black Sea flood. The "mythological" embellishments were their way of explaining something they didn't understand, in days before science.

@@Bf26fge it was written before, but these stories were told orally before, so we can't be sure of what's the original.

+ Drakkar Knarr Personally I think we have a basic location for Gilgamesh and the "garden" In Iraq by the Tigris-Euphrates marshlands. It use to be a much larger area, they also share the same Cuneiform as The Epic of Gilgamesh, aswell as thought to be one of the first Civilizations.

coconuthunterlemons We're in agreement because I wrote floodplains of the Tigris or Euphrates.

LOL i totally commented on the wrong thing :P Indeed man :)

My bad.

coconuthunterlemons No prob. I was a bit confused, though.

You mean the end of the last glacial period, called the Younger Dryas. We are still in an ice age because icesheets still exist at the poles. There is evidence for a catastrophic event at the end of the YD around 12,000 years ago that would have been extremely sudden and could have given rise to the disaster/flood stories we see all around the globe.

A lot of that water formed a giant lake in Canada which eventually breached into the Hudson Bay and rose ocean levels over night

You know this is just a simulation?

Yes it also explains the Baltic Sea Anomoly So Obi Wan the Falcon did crash there before the water flowed back ! ! ! Hallelujah I knew there was an explanation for everything ! Amen 😃🔥❤️

Full of shit you are.

gibraltar spain

I'm thinking the same thing. It would look like a gigantic waterfall making Niagara look puny.

How could a 6 million year old event inspire a narrative that was written a few thousand years ago? How would anyone alive during Noah's time even know about this?

At about 2:55 the video notes that the Black Sea breach likely happened around 10,000 years ago.

Gotcha. I must have missed that.

That's ok Ed I slept through it too.

Gotta admit the soundtrack was kinda boring too ... I aint surprised some of us slept thru it :P

@@johnperic6860 my god... This is one of the greatest examples of the dunnin kruger effect. The video says at the begining that it is about noahs myth, and the later part of the video explains how a different flooding event 10.000 years ago may have acted as inspiration. Two things: 1. Read what the video says 2.watch the whole thing

+Hilbert Steenbeek .....which actually isnt far from greece.... holy shit dude, write a thesis

Spot on. If the model is correct, there were large human settlements down there or networks of settlements. It's unlikely that no one survived. Well, these were the days of oral tradition. Word got around. It seems likely to me that by the time the story reached Plato, someone along the chain had switched out Bosporus for Gibraltar - perhaps by mistake or lack of knowledge, but I can think of more than one reason to deliberately lie about the location.

It is said that the Vanir of norse mythology comes from the area around the Black Sea and migrated north because of the flood.

Humans didn't exist millions of years ago...

near gibraltar it is

Lance Cummings That's incorrect. There is evidence of rapid erosion that occurred over the course of up to 2 years that is consistent with the catastrophic breach theory.

I stand on 'middle-ground' here, although the breach itself was most likely incremental, once underway and given the gradient from the higher Atlantic sea level down into the Alboran basin, it is likely that this cataract would have started to incise into the isthmus at a greater rate. Therefor the inundation of the Med itself would have happened relatively quickly. It is also likely that the similar breach at the Bosphorus, millions of years later, may well have happened extremely quickly in comparison. Bear in mind, that although the Pliocene is believed to be the period where climatic conditions were cooling (formations of the ice caps at both poles...), nevertheless, sea levels would have been higher than they were during the last glacial cycles during the Pleistocene, the final thawing of which, with resultant global eustasy, would have placed stress upon the Bosphorus Isthmus... As per my comment above.

Any thoughts on a 3,500 foot rise in sea levels or the reverse?

If you had paid attention to the last part you would have heard that that flood happened less then 10,000 years ago which by the way coincides with what the Sumerians writings on the tablets which was stolen and copied by the Egyptians and then the later on the Jews, go figure, lol............

Deebz270 Dam breaches are never linear in nature, all simulations and real life examples point to exponential failure mechanism.

No

@@johnperic6860 Are you serious or drunk?? Maybe hitting the pipe?? 6 million years ago we were roughly 28 million years into a major glacier and the rest of the world wasn't much warmer. By the way, the Oceans were lower too. Also, the Bottom 1/4 of the planet was also under a 2 mile high Glacier Cap.

@@kovacsandras Yes.

@@johnperic6860 Nope, Seriously, it wasn't.

@@johnperic6860 Well we are currently near the end of the 33 million year old "Cenozoic Ice Age". You are talking about one Glacier Ice Sheet of a time when many glaciers capped the Earth. The Laurentide Ice Sheet over Canada and some of the Western States was happening about the same time as the Greenland Ice Sheet.

You realise this was almost 5 and a half million years ago, right?

There were no people 5.3 million years ago. Just some early homonids

Daniel Forrester you stopped watching the video esrly right?

How... is it hard to believe? This is backed by research itself and many people believe in it due to movement of the continents. This guy just made an animation on an already existing concept.

Its actually good that you want to research something and not take it as plain value instead of the alternative of rejecting it entirely

Red Blood Yes, I agree. I don't know what he finds fishy about it but it's good to do your own research.

Excellent Vince, smartest thing I've read all day. So, after 6 months did you actually do scientific research or bury yourself in the Bible because reality was too much for you? Enthusiastically waiting for your reply!

The Black Sea breach may have been the basis for the legend of Deukalion's flood. We know the Sea Peoples (Philistines) colonized Canaan, and would have brought the story with them. The fact that Noah's Ark ended up in Turkey is suspicious of this origin. However, most of the flood myth came from Sumeria/Babylon.

Demobius hmm... Interesting

Lindsay Rae ye stupid people didnt have even ihone

Lindsay Rae by that logic, fake trees explain that trees are just a myth

Revi M Fadli That doesn't make any sense. If there were glacial floods, people would naturally tell stories about it, eventually changing into myths and morality tales. It would be like a game of telephone over generations, slowly changing over the years. A fake tree analogy just doesn't apply and makes no sense.

Jack Haveman "a fake tree doesn't apply and doesn't make sense" That's because you don't get it. Just because there exists fake ones doesn't mean all instances are fake. Just because alternative explanations exists doesn't mean it *has* to be the right one. Especially if said explanation's likelihood is circularly bboosted by what it would prove if it's true

Revi M Fadli You're still saying nothing. What fake stuff are you talking about and why do you think it's fake?

I went too far, and I can't go back.

And of course all the triggered atheists too.

@Dave Von Saunder And explain how sane it is for someone to claim that no higher being than man exists, when you can’t even explain man’s existence, or the existence of the universe, for that matter. The “millions of years ago” arguments are all based on speculation. It’s assumed that certain things took millions of years, but there is no real proof.

Ethan Lamoureux Same thing for the Bible, it has no proof that God exists. And it's not even sane for someone to say an all-powerful being controls this very universe. You can't even explain God's existence, you even said yourself that if God was created, his creator had to be created, and so forth, and you said that it's best to just stop where someone says God exists. It doesn't even make sense by itself, so I don't know why you say that it doesn't make sense for someone to just randomly say the universe exists without evidence if you believe in God.

Name one thing which exists by itself, other than God.

Would have required extraordinary patience to view beginning to end.

😵

+mikespulligan The story of Noah is supposed to have happened around the Black Sea, not the Mediterranean. The flood of the Black Sea happened during the last 10.000 years.

Whereas the breaching of the Gibraltar Isthmus happened around 5.3 million years ago during the Zanclean period of the Pliocene epoch. One theory regarding the breaching of the Bosphorus Isthmus, resulting in the increased flooding of the Black Sea, is that during the various MWP's (Melt-Water-Pulses) that took place during deglaciation in the early part of the current inter-glacial, which coincided with the start of our current epoch - The Holocene. The meltdown, or deglaciation of the last glacial period, commonly known as 'The Ice Age', would have progressively raised sea levels (eustasy) throughout the worlds oceans, including the Mediterranean. This along with tectonic movement may well have perturbed the somewhat weak Bosphorus Isthmus, creating a cataract, very similar to that of the Gibraltar breach 5.3 million years previous, resulting in further inundation of the Black Sea basin. Allied to this theory is the release of vast amounts of fresh water, or 'outpouring' from proglacial lakes, the most famous of which was Lakes' Objibway and Agassiz. A series of floods, as ice-dam configurations failed, created a series of great floods from Lake Agassiz, resulting in massive pulses of freshwater added to the world's oceans. Though understood as only resulting in around a meter increase in global water level, this too could have resulted in increasing stress on the already stressed Bosphorus Isthmus. The time frame of around 7-8000 years bce, loosely fits this model. It is believed that the 'final' inundation of the Black Sea happened extremely quickly. Given the time frame and the fact that we are still unearthing/deciphering ancient texts, most notably from the Sumerian, Hittite and Babylonian cultures indicates, if not partially corroborates the biblical narrative of 'Noah's Flood'... It is understood that most of the great land-locked basins, that now hold inland seas, like the Great Lakes of North America were formed by deglaciation meltwaters. The Caspian Sea is a land-locked depression, a remnant of the Parathethys sea, which grew to its current size along with the Aral Sea (now a fraction of its size, due to modern irrigation endeavours), from meltwaters of the last deglaciation. FYI: I am an atheist and amateur ocean/earth science academic. I have studied ocean science at HE level. I am also a mariner and extremely interested in environmental issues and climatology, archaeology, geology and a philosopher. I also believe that behind every myth, legend and folk-lore there is an 'armature of truth'. I do not necessarily believe in the current taught paradigm that 'civilizations' have only transpired over the past 7000 years. (Sumerian culture, allegedly the first 'known' civilized culture, being around 5500bce). In fact the more I research, the more I become convinced that not only 'civilized' cultures most likely existed long before that time frame, but that those cultures may well have enjoyed a highly developed/technical level of sophistication. It is also now believed that the megalithic structure know as 'The Sphinx', adjacent to the Great Pyramids may well be as old as 12,000 years... Similar archaeological sites around the world are being extensively researched and are proving to be older than previously thought. It still amazes me, that some people still cling on to the belief that the world was made 6000 ya. Modern humans, maybe.... Time to drop the 'modern' and literal interpretation of those series of books that comprise the Quran and Bible.... Let's get with the program folks!!!

We dont know what really happen in very ancient past. We cant know that. Why? Because we did not had our modern sensors and other hardware to take a direct, empirical measurement. We have only models, theories, ideas, clues. But model or theory or idea or clue =/= empirical fact. What is interesting is that all ancient cultures. Inca or Maya or Egypt or India mention something about great flood.

Exept he was supposed to of landed on mount Ararat which is to far away

This is about science. Those who want to banter about ancient evidence-free fictions written by people who thought the sky was the limit of the universe can certainly find the right place to do that....... which is not here.
