According to tradition, the Flood was in 2104 BCE, and Sodom was destroyed in 1713 BCE. See also:
There are some biblical scholars who have made the following calculations:
Flood began: 2nd month, 17th day, 2327 BC
Flood ended: 2nd month, 27th day, 2326 BC
Jesus' estimated birth: Fall 5-4 BC
Given the above, from the beginning of the Flood to the estimated date of Christ's birth is 2,323 years.
1226 years. According to traditional chronology, the Flood was in 2104 BCE; and David killed Goliath in 878 BCE. See also:
According to The Bible, the Flood occurred around 2,348 BC, and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah happened around 1,900 BC. Therefore, there were roughly 448 years between the two events.

The Bible does not provide a precise number of years between the Flood and the Tower of Babel. According to the biblical genealogies, it could be estimated to be several hundred years, possibly around 100-200 years.
According to Archbishop James Ussher's chronology done in the 17th century, Adam was created 4,000 years before Jesus or 4,004 BC which equates to 1 Anno Mundus (year of the World).Noah's Flood occurred in this timeline 2344 BC when Noah was 600 years old. This would be 1656 Anno Mundus or the length of time between the creation of Adam and the start of the Flood.
Lot resided in Sodom until he had to flee the city with his family due to its impending destruction. According to the Bible, he lived there for some time before being rescued by angels and escaping before the city was destroyed by fire and brimstone.
The flood is said to have occurred around 2,348 BC, while the birth of Christ is traditionally believed to have occurred around 4 BC. Therefore, the approximate time between the flood and the birth of Christ is around 2,352 years.
Abraham lived after the flood, according to the Bible. The flood story is associated with Noah, who was a few generations before Abraham.
It is possible that there were homosexuals before the time of Sodom and Gomorrah. But it had increased to much higher level at Sodom and Gomorrah times.
Noah's ark (Gen 6) happened many years before the tower of Babel (Gen 11). Gen 11 discusses the flood as a past event. In the Tower of Babel narrative God does not destroy the tower nor the people but alters people's language so they cannot understand each other.
Christian AnswerYes. It is considered that this was the chief sin (although not the only one) of Sodom and Gomorrah which God destroyed with 'fire and brimstone.'Jewish AnswerNo. There is no mention of anything to do with homosexuality in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah (This is purely Christian and Muslim interpretation), and in Jewish oral tradition, going back thousands of years, says that no one was ever put to death for certain sins, including homosexuality.
Sodom and Gomorrah is the first mention of homosexuality in the Bible, but it is likely that it existed before then. Many Christians would object to the idea that it has existed for "millions of years", since many Christians believe that the earth has existed for only about 6,000 to 10,000 years.
In Hebrew, it is actually pronounced 'Amorah, with a deep guttural first vowel. The Greeks, unused to the Hebrew epiglottal letter, transliterated it as a "g." The word is related to Omer and Areimah (both of which have the same first guttural). Omer means "a measure," or "a sheaf (of grain)," and Areimah means "a pile." Some linguists say that the root word also means "deep" or "copious."All of the above allude to the famed agricultural bounty of the area around Gomorrah and its sister cities, until God smote them (Genesis 13:10).
Lot resided in Sodom until he had to flee the city with his family due to its impending destruction. According to the Bible, he lived there for some time before being rescued by angels and escaping before the city was destroyed by fire and brimstone.
No read your bible. Noah and the flood was hundreds of years earlier. It was Abraham who talks with God in Genesis 18. In Genesis 19 Lot is warned by two angels after Abraham intercedes for him with God.
According to the Bible, the flood occurred during the time of Noah, while the story of the Tower of Babel follows several generations later. The time between the flood and the Tower of Babel is not explicitly specified, but it is thought to span many years, possibly centuries.

Sodom and Gomorrah were settlements south of the Dead Sea, believed on the Jordan side. It is thought that residents there were mining salt from the nearby Mount Sodom, which was one of the most valuable commodities in those times - and from which we derive the words 'salary' 'soldier' and others. Apparently destroyed by earthquakes, endemic to the area. Given the hostile environment where few would want to live, as well as probable lack of pastimes or female partners, it had a reputation for homosexuality - hence the word 'sodomy'. Naturally after it was destroyed, religious attributions implied their sexual behaviour caused their destruction. Being situated at the lowest place on earth, the Dead Sea, the resulting evaporation of sea water is the cause for the salt. Since salt enabled the society to progress from hunter/gatherer, enabling the user to preserve meat instead of daily hunting, and permitted humans to begin developing agriculture, and later - iPhones, it is understandable why it was such a valuable commodity. Even today the surrounding area is relatively fruitful, thanks to underground springs, and surrounding settlements take advantage of it. But it is still located in an extreme desert, as it was a few thousand years ago. The reason for the earthquakes is because the area is situated on the Israel/Jordan Rift Valley, with the Jordanian side relatively moving northward at a rate of 2-2.5mm per year. There has been an estimated 100km movement since it first started at least 50 million years ago.
The land of Nod refers to the first settlement of humans in the Fertile Crescent where archaeological evidence has found bones 100,000 years older than those found in the apparent "cradle of man" in Ethiopia; Sodom and Gomorrah were two cities upon the Red Sea of the Republic of Judea having nothing to do with Nod, these were essentially cities of unimaginable debauchery in lust, bestiality, fornication, sodomy etc. The remains of the two cities were indeed found as Noah's Ark, the real Mt. Sinai, evidence for the 1st world before the flood such as underwater pyramids in Japan and grown-over pyramids in Bosnia as well as fossils indicating great water exposure covering most or all of the planet. The ruins of the site are quite degraded as a result of the sulfur rains (referred to as "raining fire" in the Bible) which cover the entire area. Physically, it seems that the sulfur did indeed fall from above, in addition, the remnants of ziggurats, building foundations and passageways can still be found and are confirmed by radio-carbon dating, lab analyses of the sulfur etc.
The flood plain of a river is an area very near the river which floods regularly, generally every 1 to 2 years. The 100-year flood plain is a larger area which has a 1 in 100 chance of flooding in any given year. Over the long term this would average out to a flood every century.
