Still cant be sure if that one huge overwhelming flood did in fact happen or not. Some of us "need" it to have happened because it would explain a lot of things.
The flood believed to be behind the Noah's Ark myth kick-started European agriculture, according to new research by the Universities of Exeter, UK and Wollongong, Australia. New research assesses the impact of the collapse of the North American (Laurentide) Ice Sheet, 8000 years ago. The results indicate a catastrophic rise in global sea level led to the flooding of the Black Sea and drove dramatic social change across Europe.
This event is now widely believed to be behind the various folk myths that led to the biblical Noah's Ark story. Archaeological records show that around this time there was a sudden expansion of farming and pottery production across Europe, marking the end of the Mesolithic hunter-gatherer era and the start of the Neolithic.
"People living in what is now southeast Europe must have felt as though the whole world had flooded. This could well have been the origin of the Noah's Ark story. Entire coastal communities must have been displaced, forcing people to migrate in their thousands. As these agricultural communities moved west, they would have taken farming with them across Europe. It was a revolutionary time."
to this day, we still believe they built only mudbrick ziggurats with simple interiors, during sumer, when it was obvious from their own texts (found some 4700 years later), that at least Enki and Enlil had temples composed entirely of metal, and in the case of Enki's temple, it could float on the water, hover, give advice, had a door that could snatch a man, roared, shone so brightly it lit up the area, had an interior that was a tangled thread beyond understanding, and so forth)

From that text it is clear it is mythical, there were no* floating metal temples in Sumeria - except in mythical text. Which was my point.
Clear?
Not real, mythical
Imagine people digging up remains of our civilzation in 10 000 years (not much will be left of it)
and seeing reports about planes and then saying "ah, its only mythical.

Nope they'd find all kinds of high tech remains, even airfields in drier parts of the world - not to mention all the toys. Why is that so hard for you to accept - still demonstrating your closed mind?
if Sumerian mythology is actually real stuff - give me an example of actual mythology? I mean they must have had some.

you have turned down the opportunity to debate your personal belief
all of your arguments are based on straw man principles
you have speculated and made statements that clearly show you don't understand the first thing about ancient history and yet pretend that you think you know what went on then
Theres only one person characterised in this thread as being a gibbering idiot and we don't need to go very far to see who that is.
you have no evidence for your personal belief.
Tell me did you used to believe in God and all his little angels and since realising you were conned now have a large power vacuum in your head that you desperately need to fill with anything you can get to fit.
at some point are you going to research this subject yourself or are you going to continue relying on Daniken, Sitchin, Childress and people who believe in little green men and who are making money from their believers gullibility to spoon feed you erroneous information because you're incapable of feeding yourself.
this thread is going nowhere fast
its in the wrong forum
its all information you have posted before and seen debunked
you have an agenda and you are trying to push it on people who know more about this entire field than you do
you lost all your credibility before you started it
when your previous thread was closed by the mods because you were clearly trolling
you're still trolling
and not doing a particularly good job of it
get a life

your inability to deduce that I have already answered your relevant questions is very telling. your lack of any credible evidence is an insult to anyone with a brain who you expect to take a thing you say seriously.
do you get used to people getting bored of listening to your ravings ?
