   The Black Sea flood claim was tossed out the door.  There was no   
   catastrophic, or even remotely threatening flood.  If I had to say that the   
   Sumerian flood myth (which the Akkadians, Hittites and Bronze Age   
   Palestinians borrowed) was based on anything, then I'd have to go with some   
   big flood in Mesopotomia.  But again, I see no reason to draw such a   
   conclusion at all, as I don't think that every mythical event has an actual   
   source in a real one.
