Scientists predict: by 2050, many coastal places on Earth will be destroyed by a new global water apocalypse.
The legend of the Flood is told not only in the Bible, but is also present in the mythology of many civilizations that did not intersect with each other in ancient times. The plot is the same: the sinners angered God, who warned several righteous people about the impending catastrophe and that all the unworthy would perish in it. The Almighty gave them time to build an ark, take with them their loved ones and “a pair of each creature” in order to be saved and start a new life in a new place.
Legends about this have been preserved among the Greeks, Japanese, Indians, Australians, and among the Indian tribes of Central and South America. The earliest mention of the Flood was found during excavations of the ancient city of Nineveh on a fragment of a clay tablet (III millennium BC) with a fragment from the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh. According to the text, it is as close as possible to the biblical, but as much as 700 years older than it. On December 3, 1872, the world learned about this sensation. Researchers from around the world are inclined to believe that the Flood is not a myth, and they are looking for evidence all over the world, putting forward various hypotheses.

Ice is melting between us
In the late 1970s, the American writer and researcher Zachariah Sitchin published a series of books "The Chronicles of the Earth", in which he spoke about the alien race - the Annunaki. The author argued that this is not fiction. He found all the information about the aliens by decrypting the Sumerian texts. The Annunaki on Earth mined gold using humans as slaves. They knew about the Flood, but only their favorite Enlil warned about it.

Perhaps astronauts from another planet, using technologies unknown to earthlings, built an ark themselves - a unique object for collecting the DNA of every living terrestrial species - and eventually helped the inhabitants of a planet alien to them survive. And the Flood itself was caused by tons of Antarctic ice, which, melting, began to slide into the water and caused huge wave forces in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. With warming, storms and rains followed, which led to the disaster.

Salt of the earth
In 1996, American geologists William Ryan and Walter Pitman put forward their version of the local Black Sea Flood, which was reflected in the legends about the World. In their opinion, around 5600 BC. e. there was a powerful earthquake and cracks formed in a single mountain range connecting Europe and Asia. Giant waterfalls poured over them from the Mediterranean basin to the site of the present Black Sea. In those days, there was a slightly salted or even freshwater lake. Then it flooded 155 thousand square meters. km of land, some civilizations perished, and someone was lucky enough to escape.
Water volcano
In 2007, professor of seismology at the University of Washington, Michael Wayseshn spoke about his discovery. The researcher and his assistant studied the data collected over the years from seismographs around the world. It turned out that under the eastern part of Eurasia and under North America, at a depth of 1200-1400 kilometers, there are huge reservoirs of water. Most likely, its reserves were formed along with the planet. It is possible that in ancient times, due to the movements of the earth's crust, the firmament broke through, and water gushed out. The level of the oceans rose sharply, and the Flood occurred.
In 2006, the same version was considered by British scientists from the University of Manchester, who discovered sea water at a depth of about 1,500 kilometers. Traces of it were found in the carbon dioxide escaping.
Fatal moon
The late Russian mathematician Andrei Sklyarov made his own calculations and claimed that 13 thousand years ago the Flood was caused by the fall of a celestial body. Debris from the destroyed moon Fatta fell into the Pacific Ocean in the Philippines. A huge wave swept away everything in its path, destroying entire nations.
And the American geologist Gregory Riskin believed that 250 million years ago the explosion of methane accumulated in large quantities released from the waters of the World Ocean led to the water apocalypse. And it was caused by a meteorite fall or an earthquake. The water "boiled", and a terrible tsunami flooded the entire land.
By the way: The aforementioned Professor Weission warns that there is still a lot of water in the unexplored areas of the earth's mantle. Its volume is five times the capacity of all the outer oceans, so the Flood is simply inevitable. British scientist James Lovelock is confident that the ice at the poles will melt by 2050 or earlier, and that London will completely flood. Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Yuri Izrael, who also predicted a serious rise in the level of the oceans, agreed with him. And then 14 out of 20 world capitals will simply disappear under water. Apparently, it is high time to build a new ark, and not look for an old one.
