Hans...
Thanks for the quick reply.
1,200 years give or take is as you know not very long geologically speaking. Let's consider my hypothesis that these events occurred sometimes rapidly and sometimes as been accepted slowly over years. Why couldn't these events have happened in both manners just that the remaining physical evidence is hard to distinguish between to two?
I believe all the events [and I have more but have not presented] are linked or are at the very least very closely related.

A comet impact could have substantially raised sea levels. We have observed comets that contain ocean water, and many scientists theorize that our oceans on earth originally came from comet impacts, so it's very possible that an impact could do this. Perhaps the comet impact is actually what triggered the end of the last ice age. It would probably be connected with several floods which were reported by legends.edit on 8-6-2012 by Barcs because: (no reason given)
thanks for that Hans, it was an awsome read.

Some of us believe that the sea level rose rapidly at times possibly forcing ancient man from his then coastal cities or villages to move inland up fresh water river valleys to start again possibly founding some of our oldest cultures/civilization while those possible ancient cities/villages lie submerged to this day.
Your thoughts?
The largest increase, known by paleoclimatologists as 'Melt-Water Pulse 1A', proved to be enigmatic in many respects.

How long has modern man existed?
How old is our oldest cultures & civilizations?

I'm talking cultural not geologically, for a culture that is long time for geology a mere flick. I would suspect that surges of water would still have been restrained, especially those thousands of miles away from the point of the waters entry. Additionally people rarely live right at the waters edge , they also tend to have contacts or food resources inland.

?? Hanslune, I'm surprised that you think this or maybe it was just worded wrong.
The opposite is true. The bulk of the world's population lives along the coasts all over the planet. I think the figure is somewhere between 2/3rds to 3/4ths of the world's population lives along the coasts. The minority of people live inland.
