"...... because I say so".Technically, the end of the ice age has not yet come. And there never was a glacier to melt in the Congo.
Just like the many tales of sea monsters turned out to be true, however embellished, tales of a devastating worldwide deluge that cause floods that dwarfed any seasonal flooding that they would have experienced yearly must be based on actual events, however embellished. It is not possible that the hundreds of flood myths from around the world was caused by the end of the last glacial period which took thousands of years and is still happening or was a common worldwide delusion of people who never even heard of Noah.
I have submitted a more rational cause for the story of Noah, a celestial impact on an ocean, that conforms to reality and what is known to be possible and known to have occurred periodically for millions of years and satisfies the many constraints presented by flood stories of ancient people from all over the world that slowly melting ice could never explain.
Do you think that such an event is not a reasonable explanation professor?
Your "celestial impact" remains nothing more than "..... because I say so".
Otherwise:
Megafloods of the Ice Age
Mega floods of the ice age do not explain how people in central africa, australia, and desert regions that never saw ice have tales of a mind boggling destructive flood caused by torrential rain.
It's difficult to comment on claims you're unable to support.
I apologize if a reasonable hypothesis for the many flood myths from around the world was too much for you to bear.
I think you will find that the continent of Australia was also affected by sea level rise at the end of the last ice age.
Pleistocene Ice Age
Your hypothesis is fine as far as it being a hypothesis. You just offer not a shred of evidence for it.
This is a message board. Lighten up. "not a shred of evidence" what do you think a hypothesis is professor?....Sheesh.
Do you really think that by posting links to articles about the effects of melting glaciers that caused regional flooding that you are presenting evidence for the origin of worldwide stories about a devastating flood caused by torrential rain?
Seriously?
