Rising sea levels flooding lower lying valleys many millenia ago could also have created some long lasting

The Black Sea breech was a slow moving flood.. They had plenty of time to move family and livestock to higher ground.
that depends on which expert you ask
The Gilgamesh story is based on a flood in 2900 BC .. There plenty of evidence for that. the Black Sea Breech is too early .. Flow rates can be measured by scientists.Disasters Remembered for Millennia

Right, The glaciers melted slowly and the sea level rose, but the theory here is that there was a land bridge between what is now the Black Sea and the Mediterainean which acted as a dam. Once it gave way, a sudden rush of water, could easily have caused something pretty catastrophic to a small population
It took more than a year for the water to rise.. Plenty of time to move people and livestock.
