ELF    Um, did you read the references to the flooding of the Black Sea?

    A perfect candidate from circa 5500 BCE for just such an event which could
have found its way into the folklore of surrounding populations (no real
civilizations at that date) and could have spread, with details getting added as
time passed, as with any legend.

    Of course, that is of little help to a biblical inerrantist, but so it goes.

¡Salud!
