I'm not anything that can be remotely considered religious, but flood myths are fairly common in ancient folklore, so if anything from the Bible might have been true, then there might have been a great flood at some point.

Democratic People's Republic of Korea naming convention

Silica dust will kick up off the nearby dunes, carry in the wind, but due to its weight it’ll be less likely to erode higher elevations. So the tip top of the pyramid is high enough up sand in the wind won’t reach it as easily so it erodes way slower.

That, and the pyramids were stripped for building materials later on. Lower levels were easier to access, so people didn't generally bother going all the way to the top, except for the ones with gold covered peaks.

Not to mention, according to the Bible the world was only flooded for a few months. I'm not an expert on erosion, but this guy definitely is dumber than me.

With no background in the subject my assumption is that it would be more punctuated or abrupt for water. However I don't think it would be two lines for the troughs vs crests. I'd assume it would just be general water height. The reason is that water would obviously erode much quicker than air. Add on that the water level is much more definite than air and how high dust would get within the air to increase erosion.

Again, no background expertise. Just what I'd guess in the given subject in general.

But still think its "geographic center" is on the surface, in Turkey of all places. Perhaps because it's near the threshold of the 3 old continents, which is where the Mediterranean ("Mid-Earth-ean") Sea got its name from?

There are higher hills in Egypt, let alone mountain ranges.

Let's say for the sake of argument for a second that it happened... can you imagine the stench from the trillions of rotting human and animal corpses when it all went away? Noah and clan would have to live with that for months.

Down the drain into the hollow earth, duh!

Supposedly the black sea area after the messinian flood (mediterranean was dry in the salinity crysis), where humanity was at the time. Though there's no proof.

Not the whole world. According to the post, water only rose by about 60 m (to the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza + some 100 m (¾ of its height) compared to current sea level. This would flood most homes back then but less than 25% of land area, so the majority of displaced people would just survive as nomads in the highlands.

Almost every culture worldwide has great flood myths. It's probably because of the Younger Dryas Period. Glaciers melted, and dumped amounts of water that were larger than The Great Lakes in volume. You can see the evidence of it, if you aren't speculating wildly.

Apparently it happened multiple times. Just not the entire world at once, but certainly from the ancient people's perspective it seemed like it.

We actually went over this whole thing when I was in design school. Later, I interviewed with a company that had some e who used to be on the Pepsi marketing team in the room that was responsible for green-lighting this.

It was an interesting conversation.

The sea peoples did not merely sail the waves, they rode them
