The Where When and on the Scale of the Biblical Flood Could Have Occurred

Authors: Zhi Cheng
Comments: 8 Pages.

This article explores the possible place, time, and scale of the Great Flood as recorded in the Bible. The results of this paper conclude that the existence of the Bible-recorded Flood is highly likely. The time was about 4,500 years ago in the plains of Mesopotamia. The flood was caused by the failure of a massive glacial lake dam in the desert region of southern Afghanistan that existed after the end of the last glacial period. Due to the dam failure in the western part of the glacier lake in the Tarim Basin of the western plateau of China, the water of the glacier lake continues to flow into the glacier lake in southern Afghanistan. When the glacial lake in southern Afghanistan overflowed, it continued to wash away the glacial lake dikes made of soft soil, and eventually caused the dam failure of the glacial lake in southern Afghanistan, resulting in huge floods and mudslides. After the energy of these floods and mudslides was released in a concentrated manner at the outlet of the Persian Gulf, part of the energy produced a huge Seiche standing wave phenomenon in the closed interior of the Persian Gulf, which caused a tsunami in the Mesopotamian Plain that lasted for about seven days, up to one or two hundred meters, and then soaked the Mesopotamian Plain in the 50 meters deep flood for dozens of days.

The Effect of Seiche on the Great Flood in the Liangzhu Area 4300 Years Ago

Authors: Zhi Cheng
Comments: 14 Pages.

This paper attempts to use the Seiche phenomenon to explain a huge flood that occurred in the Liangzhu region of Zhejiang Province in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River 4,300 years ago. According to the available archaeological evidence, the height of this flood reached about 100 meters. The cause of this Seiche phenomenon is the dam failure of glacial lakes formed in the Tarim and other basins in the western plateau of China after the end of the last glacial period. This paper estimates that if the dam of the Tarim Basin, which is filled with glacial lake water, fails, the flood water can easily flow into the East China Sea through the Hexi Corridor, causing geological disasters such as earthquakes, leading to a chain of dam failure effects in other basins in the west, and then more massive floods. The potential energy of the floods generated by the dam failure of these glacial lakes is enough to cause Seiche standing waves up to 150 meters high and 5 kilometers in wave length in places such as the East China Sea. Such a high amplitude Seiche standing wave may be the cause of the great flood in the Liangzhu area 4,300 years ago. Considering that the current global climate is rapidly warming and may cause more severe flooding, this paper also estimates that if a 30-kilometer radius of Greenland ice sheet dissolves and dumps into the ocean, the potential energy carried by this ice sheet will propagate to the North Sea in northern Europe, potentially causing Seiche standing waves with amplitudes of up to 50 meters. This Seiche standing wave can last for months, or even years. This will have a very serious impact on the countries bordering the North Sea and require our attention.
