When was the world’s first flood and how much was it.
Mega Flood: About 50 million years ago, a huge flood completely changed the Mediterranean Sea. At that time, this ocean was filled with water from the Atlantic Ocean. According to scientists, this water came so fast through the Gibraltar Strait that it made a huge moat, which is still present today. This incident is known as ‘Zanklian Megaflud’. It is considered to be the biggest flood ever on Earth. However, some researchers do not agree on this.
A report has been published in The Conversion regarding the strength of this flood. It is being told that the flood water filled the Mediterranean Sea in a few years. Some researchers believe that this process could have been completed in a few months. This flood had 1,000 times water from today’s Amazon River. The speed of water was 115 kilometers per hour, which was flowing like a high speed car.
Sagar had dried up 10 million years before the flood
Research was done on many occasions about the Mediterranean Sea. In a research around 1900, scientists found that the Mediterranean Sea had dried up completely 60 million years ago. This period is called the ‘Messinian era’. During this time it was separated from the Atlantic Ocean due to plate tectonic. Research also revealed that the water of the ocean was evaporated at that time. Its level had gone one kilometer below the present. During this time, fossils of shallow and low salt lakes were also found, which confirm that the ocean had dried up.
New study and search
A study in 2009 showed that Gibraltar is a underwater trench with strait. Which was made due to this huge flood. Recently a new study found during the investigation of the sedimentary rocks of the Cankalian era. This showed how the Mediterranean reached.
Evidence found on Sicily Island in Italy
Assistant writer of this study, Geovanni Barreka, said that his team has found some evidence with Sicily. We estimated that there should be debris of rocks above these hills, which would have reached there due to erosion. Our estimate was correct. He got debris even big stones.
