with that well recorded meteor crash in Russia, Instapundit links to an Atlantic magazine article on meteor strikes in history.
Was the Flood (recorded in both the Bible and Gilgamesh) a tsunami from a meteor strike, not the flooding of the Black sea?
Given the history of ordinary floods in Mesopotamia, who knows if it was one of these or just a superordinary river flood.
and the article also blames an asteroid for the 536 event, a world wide famine/cooling spell, that in the past was thought to be volcanic in origin.
