Other cultures have similar legends . Utnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh, Deucalion in Greek mythology, and Manu in Hindu tradition all recount a flood .

Now archeologists in Iraq have the proof.


At Tell Fara in Iraq, a team found signs of a major flood beneath 5,000-year-old Sumerian ruins. A thick layer of clay and sand suggests that an even older civilisation may have existed before being buried by the deluge.

Surprisingly, previous excavations have revealed similar clay and sand layers in Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and Egypt. The inundation layers have been found in Ur, Kish, Harappa and ancient Nile settlements, all of which lie on different continents. The repeated finding has sparked concerns that sudden floods washed away settlements and communities across the world. Experts believe a global disaster occurred 20,000 years ago, leaving barely any signs of the life and people who inhabited Earth at the time. A researcher named Matt LaCroix told the Daily Mail, citing geological records, that a flood ended civilisations and "Nothing in the last 11,000 years even comes close to explaining it."
