Ever played Telephone where you start a story at one end of the line and by the time it gets to the end of the line it is distorted? I believe the flood of Noah was the original and the rest are the interpretations of those that came after but did not continue in Noah's beliefs or orations. I also believe that all religions followed with bits and pieces of the original orations added to imaginations of the mind. As far as the amount of water to be able to cover all land surfaces, we must not forget the vast resources of water within the earth. Even under the Sahara they now say. Just my opinion.

Well known fact that at the younger dryis period 11000 years ago approximately there were multiple ( up to 40) cycles of freeze Thaw flood and repeat ( ice ages). Documented in North America but most likely also in Europe Asian northern hemisphere. Man was in North America at that time and obviously also in Europe and Asia. The cycling triggered probably by meteorites hits which started violent volcanic activity. Most likely this is the origin of the flood stories. Most humans severely effected by starvation etc probably died in huge numbers but plainly eventually rebounded. Survivers Had to start from scratch so our remembered history only goes back three to five thousand years but that doesn't mean we didn't have previous history or civilisations.

The Great flood was a huge tidal wave that was pulled over our planet from east to west. In reality we are speaking of the last flood that occurred in the year 3,644 BCE. There have been hundreds of floods before that and more will come in the future. The cause of this is the ninth planet in our solar system that orbits the sun in an eccentric orbit. When it is close to the sun and its planets it is crossing the ecliptic planet with a very high speed. The enormous gravitational force lifts the water on our planet at the side that is facing planet 9 very high up, even above the highest mountains. At the same time, water is pulled away from the other side of the earth were shallow parts of the sea fall dry for about half a day. This is the most dramatic event in the history of mankind. This recurring natural disaster is known for a very long time and it is mentioned in several ancient books. Plato also mentions a recurring disaster that is caused by a celestial body. We do find many pictures of this approaching planet, it has a symbol, we know the direction of its orbit and were to look for it. This is Ancient knowledge that is available in many different forms for everyone who is searching for it but that knowledge is forgotten, neglected or denied by all scientists. I found the common thread that connects many puzzle pieces of our past. Thanks to many years of research I was able to reconstruct a timeline. We explain much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the rebirth of civilizations and ancient high technology in the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It shows abundant and convincing evidence both in text and many depictions. It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: planet 9 roest
