A new study suggests that the biblical story of Noah's Ark may have been spurred by a much smaller flood that occured somewhere around 9000 years ago.
The ancient flood that some scientists think gave rise to the Noah story may not have been quite so biblical in proportion, a new study says. Researchers generally agree that, during a warming period about 9,400 years ago, an onrush of seawater from the Mediterranean spurred a connection with the Black Sea, then a largely freshwater lake. That flood turned the lake into a rapidly rising sea."
