I should have phrased it as I did in my first post "could have taken place" about 75,000 BC (about 77,000 years ago). This is based on changing sea levels. Another theory has to do with melting glacier from the ice age, which is where your time frame may fit. There are other theories for other areas and later times. There are plenty of floods from which to choose in deciding which one is Noah's.I believe your time frames are drastically wrong. The last Ice Age ended about 15,000 years ago.
The earliest theory of when Genesis was composed was about five or six thousand BC, a couple of hundred years after Moses. However, I also understand the age that is confirmed for a written copy is more on the order of 1400 BC (dating of a scrap if I am recalling this correctly).
