Was There Really A Great Flood

Post by Shirleypal » 08-06-2009 12:10 PM

“In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.” —Genesis 7:11-12

Approximately 9,000 to 5,000 years ago in the northern Turkish province of Sinop, an event of spectacular historic magnitude took place. So spectacular, in fact, that some believe it represents proof that the “Great Flood” recounted in the Bible may have been an actual (though somewhat exaggerated) representation of real events.

In September of 2004, an expedition in the Black Sea by a team of scientists from various institutions (including the National Geographic Society) determined that the sea in question was not always as we know it today.

The Mayans have a date of August 13th, 3113 BC, which was supposed to be the time of the Great Flood, and is also the start of the 4th cycle of the Mayan calender which ends Dec 21 2012.

There were many Great Floods. Even the Sumerians had one...
