Here is a BBC piece on the Star.
The piece on the flood says nothing about Noah.
The Old Testament is basically the religious history of the Jewish people. The Great Flood was incorporated into their history in the story of Noah and God seeking to cleanse the world of its iniquity as a rational explanation for natural forces over which they had no control.
The rivers flood nearly every spring with snowmelt from the mountains and rain.
The flood sediment is 150 miles wide and 350 miles south. I don't think it would have reached Arabia. It would have gone into the Persian Gulf.
I'm sure they thought the whole world was flooded. Their world was.
It's 1019.049 miles from Saudi Arabia to Iraq .
