The evidence is overwhelming that there was a world-wide catastrophe known as the Deluge (Noah’s Flood). In Dr. Farrell’s PowerPoint presentation, he references the Deluge that appears in The Old Testament as well as ancient stories such as the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh and the older Babylonian Atra-hasis epic. Dr. Farrell presents various hypotheses as well as his own conclusion that the event recorded by the Babylonians and Sumerians occurred in Mesopotamia about 14,700 years ago as a result of the Post Glacial Sea Rise. He discusses what a mega-tsunami is and the relationship between ice buildup at the poles and sea level. His conclusions are backed up by the Old Testament; the recent archeological discovery in and around Gobekli Tepe; Sumerian “myths” from Zecharia Sitchin’s works; and the spread of agriculture.
