Flood Myth[edit | edit source]

  • 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
