Reseña del editor:
Stories of major floods are preserved in the Bible and in the epic of Gilgamesh. But did they actually occur? This book details archaeological, genetic, linguistic and scientific evidence in attempting to answer this question. Archaeologists and oceanographers provide evidence that the sea once broke through the Strait of Gibraltar and flooded what was a fresh water Mediterranean basin. The repercussions of such an event are discussed.
Reseña del editor:
Two geophysicists investigate a huge flood 7600 years ago in the region of the Black Sea. Discoveries about the history of rapid climate change suggest that mounting seas over a wide area rapidly created a human diaspora, who have since passed on the legends and epic tales of a Great Flood.
