I think so.

Another one about 7,500 years ago was the creation of the Persian Gulf, kind of a similar kind of thing.

During the last ice age, what is now the Persian Gulf used to not be.

It used to be a very nice river valley near the Fertile Crescent where people lived.

And the thing here, though, that I don't quite get is that they haven't found any evidence of things underwater there, right?

So they were relocated, essentially.

What about Doggerland?

Right.

And here they have actually found submerged traces of settlements under the sea, unlike the one in the Persian Gulf.

Yeah.

I was about to say underwater.

You got to point that out.

That's right.

And yet another right here in the, well, and now the U.S.

of A., but in the 1980s and 90s, they investigated flood myths of the indigenous peoples in the Pacific Northwest, and they found out that their flood myths, this was a little more recent.

This was around 1700 A.D., but the idea is that there was a magnitude nine earthquake that caused a tsunami unleashing these big waves from basically sort of

Vancouver Island, all the way down to Northern California.

And then sometimes it's just a culture like pre-science, again, making sense out of finding weird things, like the Zuni people in the southwest of the United States.

Obviously not back then.

They saw these ancient marine animals and seashells in the fossils that they were finding, and they said, well, this is part of our creation story.
