The deluge of Noah
The deluge of Noah has
been an object for
investigation by many
scientists who strive to
find out a scientific
explanation for the
incidents described on the
“Genesis Book” and not
only.
“The ice-melting caused the deluge”
After many years of scrutinized research scientists
found out that the Aegean sea covered an area of 2000
km2 at the Black sea’s coastal zone, 9500 ago. That
happened at the last Ice Age. During this period a huge
volume of Ice, which covered the European continent
and the whole North Hemisphere till 11.000 years ago,
began to melt and the sea level increased.
Scientists indicate that in this period happened what we
name “the big deluge” than caused crucial geological
changes. “It may have been a huge earthquake or a
collapse of a “natural dam” at the region of Bosporus.
Whatever the reason the water rushed in the closed
Black sea, the matter is that the sea level increased by
10 meters in only a few years” described Dr Libious
Yosan, marine geologist.
“Lower intensity than it was thought”
When the deluge began, Dounavis
outfalls were covered by the sea and
during the years the river gained its
current delta. Scientists were focus on
this area searching for the first
Dounavis’s outfalls, which would help
them to estimate the precise increase
of the Black sea’s water level from
10.000 bc till nowadays.
Geologists found out that the sea level was
about 30m above the current level and not
80m as it was believed. The deluge began
when the level of the Aegean Sea reached
the region of the Straits Of Bosporus which in
only a few years moved into the Black sea. In
order words, for every single year of deluge,
thousand km2 at the region of Black sea
were covered by the Aegean sea’s water.
“The rumor says…”
Besides its other
consequences the
deluge caused the
immersion of huge area
inhabited by many
Neolithic settlements.
Scientists support that
the habitat were
searching for a refugee
at new areas
transferring their
frightening experiences
to other civilizations.
It is obvious that human interference in the
environmental affected and still affect our planet in a
negative way. Climate changes are a problem of
paramount importance and it only can be surpassed
through the collective action and contribution.
