Actually, evidence of a "global flood" would likely be about 12-15,000 years back when the last glacial covering of the most recent Ice Age existed. And then began to rapidly melt away ....

These fables are based on the real global flood.Seems like the oldest flood story is 10,000 years ago.

May I suggest that the only actual "common thread" is that all of the humans that have ever lived and who have ever invented mythology...There seems to be a common thread in Greek Mythology and the old Testament.
With strong parallels between Eve and Pandora, and a flood with few survivors, it is more likely the Greeks and Jewish people copied myths from each other.These fables are based on the real global flood.
Yes floods are real and frequent events. There is also the non-real and infrequent event of Pandora and Eve being the first women created by a god.May I suggest that the only actual "common thread" is that all of the humans that have ever lived and who have ever invented mythology...
...have all lived on the same planet, and that planet has floods?

Well I would be surprised if they focused on the second or third women. Makes for a lame creation story.Yes floods are real and frequent events. There is also the non-real and infrequent event of Pandora and Eve being the first women created by a god.
The lions, tigers, crocs, etc ate all the dinosaurs.Not to mention Dinosaurs, Rhinos, Giraffes, horse (kinds), Moose, Hippos, Gorillas: (meat for) LIONS, Crocodiles, etc, etc, etc.
IOW, you'd probably need at least 1,000,000 lbs++? of food (and water) for all the animals of any size.
Might depend on how one defines "rapidly".Glaciers don't melt rapidly.
I read parts of Bulfinch's Mythology a few decades ago. The book quite dated (late 1800's), but, of course, so is the mythology.If you have a chance read History Begins at Sumer. Samuel Noah Kramer spent 50 years translating the clay tablets that date 1500 years before Adam and Eve.

One probability oft overlooked would be large scale tsunami events from an asteroid impact.
No, it "might'nt". We know how rapidly they melted. Sea levels rose one centimeter per year.Might depend on how one defines "rapidly".
On a geological scale that's still "rapid".No, it "might'nt". We know how rapidly they melted. Sea levels rose one centimeter per year.
Okay, but rocks didn't write the Bible. And if the entire sea level rise happened in one day, it still would not have been a global flood.On a geological scale that's still "rapid".
Practically all of the scholars (except the liberal ones) accept the Hebrew Bible as older than the Epic of Gilgamesh and state that the Bible is the historical document while Gilgamesh is an epic poem of mythology. Did you know Gilgamesh's ark was a cube? What does Kramer say about that?james bond
