Black Sea deluge hypothesis links Burkle crater to Noah's flood. The Black Sea deluge hypothesis suggests a massive flood around 7,000 years ago from breaching of the Bosporus Strait The author theorizes this was caused by diluvial showers from the Burkle crater event The author's paper is titled 4,000 BC tsunamis, floods and diluvial showers

Around 7,000 years ago, the Black Sea deluge hypothesis suggests a massive flood when the Bosporus Strait breached. Walter Alvarez's iridium anomaly work revitalized catastrophist thinking, while Randall Carlson has noted upheavals 10 to 13 millennia ago that dramatically reshaped our planet's landscape.
