To add to the this "myth" there are several sites, such as those off the coast of India & Japan that sit under water. Interestingly, the mainstream doesn't seem to want to acknowledge these sites, claiming they're just natural rock formations, which is laughable when you look at the pictures, like the one in this Link

For what it's worth, I always thought the biblical "flood" more likely a tsunami.

40 days and 40 nights of rain. About 371 days until the waters receded. Some tsunami!

Well that's the thing, the flood story doesn't show up in Hebrew scripture until after the Babylonian exile, where the Jewish scribes learned the story of Gilgamesh working as scribes in Babylon. It's certainly not a literal event, at least as it is described in the Pentateuch, it's allegorical.

you really have to wonder how an ancient person who had no idea that there was even a western hemisphere would really know that THE WHOLE WORLD was flooded, vs. his own local area.

...because folks ARE retelling the Bible story.
What if ... the Bible Story is a re-telling of an older Bible Story ... the parts that can be remembered.

i'm aware of the phoenicians... are you suggesting they surveyed the globe, confirmed a world-wide flood, passed that info on to an ancient hebrew tribesman, and then died in said global flood?
