A William Ryan & Walter Pitman Geological Inquiry into the Black Sea Deluge Myth

Seven thousand six hundred years ago, a catastrophic deluge transformed the freshwater Black Sea basin into a vast saltwater sea. Columbia University geologists William Ryan and Walter Pitman present groundbreaking scientific evidence of this ancient event, utilizing sonar mapping and deep-sea core samples to prove the rising Mediterranean Sea breached the Bosporus Strait with tremendous force.

Inundating over 60,000 square miles of inhabited agricultural land, this sudden catastrophic event scattered prehistoric farming communities across Europe and the Middle East, giving rise to persistent oral flood legends including Noah's Ark and the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Ryan and Pitman combine marine geology, ancient archaeology, and linguistic history to solve a biblical mystery. A compelling study of geomythology for readers who love ancient history, archaeology, and earth science.
