Beautiful job AronRa! I love the global look. So much of history is taught in geographically isolated chunks that you would think at certain periods of time only 1 culture existed! I also took note f the amazing contributions of Jericho to technologies (wheat, animal husbandry) that were so important to civilization. Yet the destruction of this amazing ancient city is one of the most celebrated of biblical myths. One more reason to despise Yahweh!
I've always had an issue with the idea of 'cave men'. Isn't it more likely that caves were used more as spiritual centers? I know there is evidence of human habitation but wouldn't hunter-gatherers have had to stay mobile? It doesn't take much technological development to throw up a wigwam. Nice vid, thought-provoking.
obviously god created them with all their memories intact, oh, and he created all the archaeological remains. Then he waved his wand and poofed me into existence and really, all of you are nothing more than a figment of my imagination. Really, I'm god. The god who made me was powerful indeed, just look inside my mind.
@DaytonaRoadster And on the channel islands off California as well. With the end of the Ice Ages much of the most likely places of early human habitation now lies under a great deal of water.
That's SOOOOOOOOOO ironic if true, because his videos were MADE for people who presumably have brain damage (Creationists)! ROFL!! That's seriously some ironically funny shit! Lol
Aronra - I cannot thank you enough for all you have done. I have brain damage and trying to educate myself is tricky but I understand the majority of the topics in your videos, a testament to your teaching skills. I am encouraged to try to learn and better myself from watching your videos. Sincere thanks sir.
Gotta call you out on the whole wheat being the staple of every major civilization. The south eastern asian empires and most of the eastern empires and civilizations had rice as their staple. But great video. I only wish you put the khmer empire there, as that's where i'm from
I've only just discovered your videos Aaron, after seeing you on the Atheist Experience (I'm a big fan). Just wanted to say thanks for doing what you do and presenting it in such an articulate and concise way. Education not indoctrination is what children needs. Well done to you sir.
Awesome video, sir I must say, I have read a lot of history but never saw it from that perspective before, with all of these events happening on the same theoretical day. I can hardly believe that only a few years ago I believed that the earth was only a few thousand years old. Now I know the only way someone can believe that is if they are ignorant of some many and varied kinds of evidence, and not willing to open their eyes.
@MrBrent123t None of his material is referenced and just like Zeit Geist, this contains so much believable mis-information that makes sense that you can't help but to be awed and wondered by it. However this Satanist has an agenda to lie and mislead people from the truth, there is much truth in it, but that's the trick. The reason things appear to be the same all around the world is because they all come from Pagan sun worshipers who were separated in Babel and spread throughout the world.
@DinosaurEatchYa If you are being serious, you are an incredibly deluded person, who knows nothing about history. Or who refuses to educate yourself in any meaningful way.
@DinosaurEatchYa Wow, if you are trolling, then you got your retarded creationist impression spot on, if you are being serious.. then.. well i pity you
It wasn't until nearly the time when you put up the picture of Bishop Uusher that I realised the date you were alluding to - but not quite! - I should have known though!!
I went from 10,000 to 7,000 and finally got it as you mentioned Jericho......
I am just pointing out that "under god" was put in the Anthem in the 1954. the motto on our money "In god we trust" was adopted in 1956. I don't see why you won't grasp these simple historical facts. Also...our founding fathers were mostly Deists, not Theists. These were reasonable men and arguably some of the most intelligent men to date, as were our early presidents. The separation of church and state is there to protect both that of a secular beliefs and those of religious beliefs
MAJOR mistake Aron!! Just kidding a very minor one. The picture you showed was not Bessie the cow that is a picture of Elsie the cow I should know, my first girlfriend's mother was Elsie the cow. I can explain that in a way that makes sense. Just trust me on that one.
that was awesome, it's sad that a 10 minute video with Conan the Barbarian music playing taught me more about prehistory then the US public school system.
when i found out the mammoths hadn't really lived on that island until year 2 a.d, and instead died out there like 1650 bc, it was like finding out santa isn't real :(
You should certainly (your choice of course) make more of these! VERY brilliant and entertaining. A GREAT educational lesson and a powerful ending (pwnage maximus.)
Was good up until the last part, the is actually evidence of a major world wide flood your video even mentions it with the last of the mammoths being trapped. As well the tower of babel itself could have once been under construction, but simply wasn't completed do to many issues, I major in archaeology and I believe in God as well as evolution, there have been many digs proving things real in the bible, as well from other religious text, don't simply put it off because it sounds unlikely
@DarkFenix34512 The end of the ice age caused the isolation of those mammoths. If that was the root story of the biblical flood then it totally invalidates young earth theory since it happened many thousands of years before the earth was supposedly created.
@colddrake80 yeah but it did happen since man was here near the end of the ice age so it could become part of a culture history. I know that the young earth theory is bull, but you can't shot down other stories right away. Look at Troy, MACHIU PICHU, and idk simple others
@DarkFenix34512 The time table does matter since the bible is supposedly to be taken as infallible and a true accounting. Having events take place in different times and in radically different ways invalidates the bible in many fundamental ways.
@colddrake80 I say in a way that the events in the bible, more so cities, battles, and such. Can be used in a archaeological way to locate and investigate the sites, heck a department of archaeology is biblical archaeology. My point is that just because its in a story doesn't mean its not real, again with the iliad and the city of troy.
@DarkFenix34512The Biblical archaeology you speak of, is at best a pseudoscience, definitely not a "department" as you put it. From the archaeology journals that I've read, there is no evidence of many of the claims the bible makes (i.e. Egypt, no evidence of Moses or his followers at all).
@nerhu59 actually biblical archaeology really is just saying you specialize in middle east archaeology, just like archaeology in egypt is called egyptology, now I am having a calm well put debate with colddrake80, who is offering valid points as I try to as well, my main point is that just b/c its a story, doesn't mean its fake. there are many cities and battles that happen in the bible that actually happened.
@DarkFenix34512 When you call it a department, you imply it as such. There is still no valid archaeological evidence to support any of the stories, tales, anecdotes, whatever you want to call them, from the bible. Only evidence to suggest that the stories may have been based off much smaller incidents and greatly exaggerated.
@gooddarkjedi Dude I major in archaeology, I have read about the digs, I have seen the topography of it. There are several large walls. GO check this out, check wiki, it shows you the topography. Some of these legends are or could be true. All were believed to be legend, such as Troy, Ubar, and the Seven Pagodas of Mahabalipuram. All are known under the protect of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, why would they preserve and protect something not found?
@gooddarkjedi Some time ago they found a very good candidate for the city of Troy. Although finding the right layer and positively identifying it is difficult, and the in case of the latter, may prove impossible. The whole of the Iliad is pretty much pre-historic since we don't have direct accounts from the period.
@colddrake80 actualy it turns out that there have being many citys called troy it seemes. and no, none of them where destroyed by greeks. so the city of troy is tecnicaly real but it is not like the myth tells it to be.
@colddrake80 floods are common in many sides of earth. we know that the biblical flood myth is based on big flood that happend in iraq about 2000bc. its legend from polytheistic religion and was adopted by polytheistic jews.
@gooddarkjedi A major flood in the Fertile Crescent is a far cry from a global flood that whipped everyone and everything except the "righteous". To a people that think the world could be crossed in 30 days of steady walking the floods in Australia would seem global but we know better. Their is no reason to cling to someones ancient delusions.
@colddrake80 yes. i never said that there was gobal flood and there was never one. the flood myth orginated from the babylonian myth that was inspired by the seasonal floods. i was only explaning the orgins of the myth.
to make clear. I DONT BELIVE IN THE FLOOD MYTH. i was only explaning the orgins of the myth. and how it was a big fish story that got more redicilus every time it was told. the flood myth is bullshit. i hope that clears it.
@rockbot96 LOL, "and the mighty manbearpig said "Look out for a political/social philosophy dedicated to enhancing freedom through social change! Well, not for another 800 years or so. So the lord said and it was good."
@colddrake80 no he said people would deceive you with that kind of stuff when theyre realy just out to get you. pick up the book and fuckin read it. im tired of all this bullshit the only reason you can say that is because this nation was built on god. if it wasnt youd be arrested
@rockbot96 A bit of wisdom that could be summarized by the saying "don't piss on me leg and tell me it's raining" without the human sacrifice, slavery, women as chattel and genocide that is in the bible. As for me being arrested that is merely your revenge fantasy. This country was founded and lead by men. They are historical figures with writings we can read for ourselves. Some were religious, some weren't and others would have been considered heretics. Continued.
@colddrake80 As for religious freedom/freedom of thought most countries in the "west" have that so America isn't special in that regard at all. As for being built on religion if that were true you and I would both be in prison. Why do you think your beliefs would win out in a theocracy? A minor doctoral difference and POW you're a heretic enduring whatever punishment the righteous wish to dump on you. I love how most who believe god needs to be front and center in society forget that.
@colddrake80 okay, god isnt Stallin, Kim Jong Il or Batista. You just have a problem with authority and luckily god doesnt enforce it. and our matto is in god we trust so u can believe watever you want but if thats not saying were a christian nation idk what is
@rockbot96 That's the motto only since 1956 - a paranoid and reactionary time - our de facto motto was E pluribus unum ("Out of many, one.") a much better motto considering the nations Enlightenment foundational idea. Proven by it's rather blatent violation of the clause forbidding state religion.
@rockbot96 Nice try at changing the subject but you were the one who brought up the nation's motto. I showed that was a new thing and now you've jumped to another anecdote. Doesn't matter. We have laws keeping religion out of government and it's a good thing too. If you are a fool and want to get rid of that make sure your religious beliefs are as malleable as wet claw. Otherwise you'll be on the wrong end of a doctrinal shift and it's goodbye then.
@colddrake80 first off, in god we trust is in the national anthem. idk if u got that by your reaction. second, im not trying to change peoples religion u paranoid hippie. im just sayin stop ranting on mine because you have no idea what your talking about. its like all you people do is sit around and complain about how christians/republicans are a bunch of nazis. what u dont understand is christianity is a religion just like any other. cont...
@rockbot96 I am just pointing out that "under god" was put in the Anthem in the 1954. the motto on our money "In god we trust" was adopted in 1956. I don't see why you won't grasp these simple historical facts. Also...our founding fathers were mostly Deists, not Theists. These were reasonable men and arguably some of the most intelligent men to date, as were our early presidents. The separation of church and state is there to protect both that of a secular beliefs and those of religious beliefs
@colddrake80 just like how some colored americans think white people are a bunch of robots. what they dont understand is white is also a race and rude comments towards them is still racism. ps(imm not being racist i just couldnt think of a different example)
@rockbot96 If you couldn't think of a different example you should have thought a lot harder. I'm not opening up that can of worms. Now to your other post, no, I'm not a "hippie". You jumped to a conclusion while whining about me doing the same. Also The Star Spangled Banner only became the US national anthem in 1931. As for "your" religion I don't know what you believe as much as what you hate and I don't really care. You have shown yourself to be reactionary and negative in your outlook.
@colddrake80 u know what if the sole purpose of religion is to help people then why the hell do you have a problem with it??? Why do you have a problem with christianity if it hasnt done anything to hurt you. And so what if it came in 1931 its still the national anthem.
@rockbot96 "Why do you have a problem with christianity if it hasnt done anything to hurt you"- they have done everything they can to slow down human progress and innovation for 2000 years. we have no idea how much we have lost under the influence of christianity and religion generally. i'd say they have hurt and continue to hurt humanity, and if the disease is not marginalized we may all fall victim to the the evils they have set in motion.
@rockbot96 well they have been fighting science and technology for centuries. yes, science always wins out in the end, but think where the human race could be without that ignorant repression?
@rockbot96 That isn't the sole purpose of any religion. Colonialism, the Inquisition, the Crusades, pograms, the Holocaust were all crimes of biblical proportions (a highly appropriate phrase) and all used christian doctrine as their underpinning. The major purpose of religion, any religion, is to enhance control. All have been used to excuse the powerful and demonize the "enemy". Don't be naive.
@colddrake80 hitler was the second antichrist and as i said earlier he promises great things just to luer you in. obviously a genocide of jesus' own race wasnt what jesus wanted. if it wasnt for colonialism we'd still be in the dark ages. for example a world without america is one without cars, internet, airplanes, artificial light, cell phones, important vaccinations, ect. the crusades was a war like any other war. most wars have nothing to do with religion
@rockbot96 Antisemitism has a long track record in Christianity. If you don't know that then you are to naive and ignorant to continue any kind of discussion. As for colonialism it WAS a dark age for those on receiving end. The European Dark Age ended centuries before colonialism began. As for America and technology we could have had those things without the genocide against native americans. Unless you think that is the pinnacle of progress.
My whole point is religion is the rational for war.
@colddrake80 the knights templar fought the muslims over the holy land because of what they believed in. religion brings us all together despite race, social status, region, or political views. the one thing that combined them all was worth fighting over. just like freedom united all americans, and they were willing to fight for it. and one last thing andrew jackson did that for land not christ
@rockbot96 Wow, I'll bet you are naive enough to not even be embarrassed by what you just posted. Even if the Templars - and a lot of other orders - may have fought for their religion what were the motives of those who sent them? Then in the very next sentence you have to nerve to say religion brings us together. Right after writing about what you see as a holy war. This post is just silly and so self contradicting it doesn't really need a rebuttal.
@colddrake80 dude just leave me the fuck alone im in fuckin highschool and i make more sense than you. religion unites the people of the same religion, i know you understood you just want to be a smartass about everything. Youre also a terrible person telling people their whole existance is bullshit. well its not. And i cant proove it exists, thats why its called faith.
@rockbot96 Their is more to life than just blind faith. If you find that your reasoning is totally at odds with what you want to believe then you have sent up an internal conflict that will make you miserable. As for calling your "whole existence bullshit" then that is for the best. If your whole existence is built on the ideas of illiterate, superstitious primitive people from thousands of years ago you are better off dumping that and actually exploring the real world.
@colddrake80 im not the miserable one descriminating against people. how are they illeterate if they can write the bible? and primitive? we cant build the great pyramids of giza but "primitive" egyptians could. We cant predict the future but the "primitive" mayans could. we cant create a system for energy in our bodies but the "primitive" chinese could. just because they werent societies based on science didnt mean they were primative.
@rockbot96 The bible was written long after the oral tradition started. The pyramids weren't built by the people who started the bible's myths. The Mayans predicting the future? Don't tell you believe the 2012 nonsense. Energy in our bodies? What? You realize that a lot of what you just posted is considered un-Christian?
@colddrake80 the point was people that lived thousands of years ago werent primitive. they werent athiests eiither. everything else they predicted came true. and its called acupuncture and martial arts dumbass. and idc if it has nothing to do with christianity because christians aret a bunch of religion nazis like athiests.
@rockbot96 "Religion nazis like atheists"? Atheists AREN'T religious. It would be like calling a chemist or molecular biologist an alchemist. It's pure nonsense. You are totally inconsistent in your professed beliefs. It also amuses that you have tried to change the subject I said those who created the bible myths were primitive in their understanding of the world and you started ranting about world cultures that I never even hinted at. If you can't stick to the subject admit it.
@colddrake80 theres nothing to admit. im through talking to the fourty year old virgin about religion. in the bible it says dont throw pearls before swine so ill be a good christian and leave. bye.
@rockbot96 If you insist on living with a narrow world view in terror of supernatural beings of your own creation then I say good riddance. Abandoning outmoded ideas can be difficult and if you aren't willing to put in the work to do it then you have no business coming onto comment boards like this and trying to start trouble.
@colddrake80 if im narrow minded so are the other 2.1 billion christians on earth. im sure at least ones as smarter than you think you are. one last thing, im not afraid of anything Psalms 23:4 Yea, though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
@rockbot96 All you can do a quote from a book? You don't get to do that after extolling the virtues of misinterpreted Mayan prophecy and Chinese mysticism.
@colddrake80 we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are CREATED equal, that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. god and america go hand in hand u cant deny
@rockbot96 And then we added the First Amendment which allows you to believe what ever you want, but strips you of the ability to force it on others. Pretty sweet deal. You get to remain ignorant, and we get burger flippers! Isn't that great! But enough of the frivolity. The subject of the video is the veracity of Genesis, which has been proven quite easily to be false. It's like that whole global flood nonsense. Not literal fact. Maybe a local one that got inflated over time. Global? Bullshit!
@NorthForkFisherman havent u ever heard about sunken cities all around the world? its common fact they exist and it supports the flood theory. also every ancient culture has a flood myth from the native americans to hebrews. even history channel supports the flood theory. besides athiests are the ones that still live with their moms and work at gamestop you arrogant asshole
@rockbot96 Right in to ad homs! Musta hit a nerve. Sweet! And History Channel as a reference? BWHAAHHA. You make this too easy. And yes, I will have fries with that. Let's see....sunken cities? Rising sea levels concurrent with the end of the last glacial period. Indeed, there is a great amount of evidence showing the path of human migration was much easier than thought before. Research in temperate climes shows a large number of inundated settlements (continued)
@rockbot96 Now as far as flood myths: Considering that the primary references for these come from early agrarian cultures that is not suprising in the least. Consider, where's the best farming? ON FLOODPLAINS, duh. Local tragedies become inflated over time and join the folklore. Had you read even a few of these you would see all sorts of causes, responses, and results. According to one version, it's Zeus we should appeal to. (continued)
@rockbot96 And finally, folklore being what it is, the real evidence comes from the Earth itself. Geology, chemistry, and physics show clearly that such a thing never happened. I've got 9 trillion cu meters of salt in one formation alone that shows that Genesis is not literal. As the Earth itself has no agenda, it's geology FTW. Now you can have your opinion, but that is meaningless. What evidence do you have?
@NorthForkFisherman first off i think history channel knows more than you do. 2nd the sea levels rose in 10,000 bc which was on a global scale. jericho is approximately 9,000 years old and was founded just after the flood according to the bible which is correct. And the zues thing? Zues is a nephilim as mentioned in the bible cont.
@NorthForkFisherman and i dont think you get it. the rising sea levels at the end of the ice age was the global flood. isnt that obvious? no one flash flood on a flood plain is going to have that great of an influence world wide.
@rockbot96 In this part we may be in agreement. It may be that the local flooding as such did have a larger cultural impact, but the definition that I am in conflict with is that it covered the entire world to a depth of 15 cubits for a year? Yeah, that part is bullshit. The clear data of what's found in the rock record is beyond reproach.
@NorthForkFisherman more like 120 meters. I have a hunch which could be true or not but since there are over 100 sunken cities in the Mediterranian Sea maybe the sea isnt as old as we think it is. or at least didnt used to be as big. maybe this was the flood but idk u seem to be the expert. and if its not or if you it isnt 15 cubits is still alot for a flat flood plain. and the loses could be great because thats where all the people lived isnt it?
@rockbot96 and here is where the Constitution declares a strict separation of Church and state: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech..."
I don't need to deny it the US government and it's founding documents deny it for me.
@rockbot96 majority of these christians are more open minded then you. they dont deny the evident reality that evolution is happening and has happend. belive what ever you want, but if you step on the thoes of science then we are gonna have proplem.
@gooddarkjedi if they believe in evolution theyre not very good christians are they? just beliveing in evolution undermines the whole concept. i however am not one of those on the fence, inbetween kinda guys. and the toes of science better get out of the way of my foot
@rockbot96 why is everything you say a personal attack against other people? it sure looks like you hate us. why else you whuld act so agressive. didnt bible say that if you hate you have murderd in your heart?
@gooddarkjedi colddrakes the one picking fights im defending myself and since hes so arrogant in what he believes he needs to be taken down a peg. i know scienc and religion can co exist but when someone is that icy im just not having it
As for the national anthem I brought that up to show you that this nonsense hasn't been this thick from the very beginning. Religiosity was used to whip up support for war and to underpin US nationalism. Public out pouring of faith in this, or any country, rarely have honest motives.
some sweet info here

@MrBrent123t None of his material is referenced and just like Zeit Geist, this contains so much believable mis-information that makes sense that you can't help but to be awed and wondered by it. However this Satanist has an agenda to lie and mislead people from the truth, there is much truth in it, but that's the trick. The reason things appear to be the same all around the world is because they all come from Pagan sun worshipers who were separated in Babel and spread throughout the world.

I am just pointing out that "under god" was put in the Anthem in the 1954. the motto on our money "In god we trust" was adopted in 1956. I don't see why you won't grasp these simple historical facts. Also...our founding fathers were mostly Deists, not Theists. These were reasonable men and arguably some of the most intelligent men to date, as were our early presidents. The separation of church and state is there to protect both that of a secular beliefs and those of religious beliefs

Was good up until the last part, the is actually evidence of a major world wide flood your video even mentions it with the last of the mammoths being trapped. As well the tower of babel itself could have once been under construction, but simply wasn't completed do to many issues, I major in archaeology and I believe in God as well as evolution, there have been many digs proving things real in the bible, as well from other religious text, don't simply put it off because it sounds unlikely
DarkFenix34512 1 year ago
@DarkFenix34512 The end of the ice age caused the isolation of those mammoths. If that was the root story of the biblical flood then it totally invalidates young earth theory since it happened many thousands of years before the earth was supposedly created.
colddrake80 1 year ago
@colddrake80 yeah but it did happen since man was here near the end of the ice age so it could become part of a culture history. I know that the young earth theory is bull, but you can't shot down other stories right away. Look at Troy, MACHIU PICHU, and idk simple others
DarkFenix34512 1 year ago
@DarkFenix34512 The time table does matter since the bible is supposedly to be taken as infallible and a true accounting. Having events take place in different times and in radically different ways invalidates the bible in many fundamental ways.
colddrake80 1 year ago
@colddrake80 I say in a way that the events in the bible, more so cities, battles, and such. Can be used in a archaeological way to locate and investigate the sites, heck a department of archaeology is biblical archaeology. My point is that just because its in a story doesn't mean its not real, again with the iliad and the city of troy.
DarkFenix34512 1 year ago
@DarkFenix34512The Biblical archaeology you speak of, is at best a pseudoscience, definitely not a "department" as you put it. From the archaeology journals that I've read, there is no evidence of many of the claims the bible makes (i.e. Egypt, no evidence of Moses or his followers at all).
nerhu59 1 year ago
@nerhu59 actually biblical archaeology really is just saying you specialize in middle east archaeology, just like archaeology in egypt is called egyptology, now I am having a calm well put debate with colddrake80, who is offering valid points as I try to as well, my main point is that just b/c its a story, doesn't mean its fake. there are many cities and battles that happen in the bible that actually happened.
DarkFenix34512 1 year ago
@DarkFenix34512 When you call it a department, you imply it as such. There is still no valid archaeological evidence to support any of the stories, tales, anecdotes, whatever you want to call them, from the bible. Only evidence to suggest that the stories may have been based off much smaller incidents and greatly exaggerated.

All are known under the protect of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, why would they preserve and protect something not found?
DarkFenix34512 1 year ago
@gooddarkjedi Some time ago they found a very good candidate for the city of Troy. Although finding the right layer and positively identifying it is difficult, and the in case of the latter, may prove impossible. The whole of the Iliad is pretty much pre-historic since we don't have direct accounts from the period.

Research in temperate climes shows a large number of inundated settlements (continued)

@rockbot96 Now as far as flood myths: Considering that the primary references for these come from early agrarian cultures that is not suprising in the least. Consider, where's the best farming? ON FLOODPLAINS, duh. Local tragedies become inflated over time and join the folklore. Had you read even a few of these you would see all sorts of causes, responses, and results. According to one version, it's Zeus we should appeal to. (continued)

@rockbot96 And finally, folklore being what it is, the real evidence comes from the Earth itself. Geology, chemistry, and physics show clearly that such a thing never happened.

@NorthForkFisherman first off i think history channel knows more than you do. 2nd the sea levels rose in 10,000 bc which was on a global scale. jericho is approximately 9,000 years old and was founded just after the flood according to the bible which is correct. And the zues thing? Zues is a nephilim as mentioned in the bible cont.
rockbot96 10 months ago
@NorthForkFisherman and i dont think you get it. the rising sea levels at the end of the ice age was the global flood. isnt that obvious? no one flash flood on a flood plain is going to have that great of an influence world wide.
rockbot96 10 months ago
@rockbot96 In this part we may be in agreement. It may be that the local flooding as such did have a larger cultural impact, but the definition that I am in conflict with is that it covered the entire world to a depth of 15 cubits for a year? Yeah, that part is bullshit. The clear data of what's found in the rock record is beyond reproach.
NorthForkFisherman 10 months ago
@NorthForkFisherman more like 120 meters. I have a hunch which could be true or not but since there are over 100 sunken cities in the Mediterranian Sea maybe the sea isnt as old as we think it is. or at least didnt used to be as big. maybe this was the flood but idk u seem to be the expert. and if its not or if you it isnt 15 cubits is still alot for a flat flood plain. and the loses could be great because thats where all the people lived isnt it?
