Not surprising in the least. Most superstition and mythology originates from real world phenomena. The people of that time lacked the understanding to explain them so the only explanation they could come up with was to make up a god of some sort and give that god credit. Sometimes the god in question is dragging the sun across the sky in his chariot and other times they are smiting the evil world with a flood or causing crops to fail. Slowly we've learned the real reasons for many of these phenomena, and most people accept them (some do not). I think that a great flood in the Mediterranean region due to rising oceans is very very plausible. -Cameron .... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:362598 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
