Flood Myth

• see [End of Ice Age]
• during the Ice Age, the Persian Gulf was terrestrial and the Indian Ocean marked the coastline around modern Dubai.
• Sumer was along low-lying land
  • so ocean rise would be quicker than on areas that had larger elevation rise
• estimated that in Sumer/ Mesopotamia, the waters rose 328 feet per year
  • or 3.3 feet every three days
