Best Answer

The great flood that likely led to the Near Eastern flood myths such as the biblical flood of Noah's Ark and the great flood of the Epic of Gilgamesh, is believed to be the inundation of the low-lying, fertile plains that became the Black Sea when the Mediterranean Sea breached the Bosporus in approximately 5600 BCE.

No one archaeologist can be given full credit for this discovery, because clues accumulated until various scientists began to take the Black Sea seriously as the origin of the biblical Flood story. They include Rick Fairbanks, Mellaart, David Ross, Egon Degen, Bob Karlin and a joint Russian-American expedition.
