Black Sea Deluge Theory
The Black Sea deluge is the best known of three hypothetical flood scenarios proposed for the Late Quaternary history of the Black Sea. It is one of the two of these flood scenarios which propose a rapid, even catastrophic, rise in sea level of the Black Sea during the Late Quaternary.Yanko-Hombach, V., Mudie, P., and Gilbert, A. S., 2011, ''Was the Black Sea catastrophically flooded during the post-glacial? Geological evidence and impacts'', in Benjamin, J. et al. (eds.), ''Underwater Archaeology and the Submerged Prehistory of Europe'': Oxbow Books, p. 245–262. History In 1997, William Ryan, Walter Pitman, Petko Dimitrov, and their colleagues first published the ''Black Sea deluge hypothesis''. They proposed that a catastrophic inflow of Mediterranean seawater into the Black Sea freshwater lake occurred around 7600 years ago, . As proposed, the Early Holocene Black Sea flood scenario describes events that would have profoundly affected prehistoric settlement in eastern Eur ...
