Noah's Flood and the Associated Tremendous Rainfall as a Possible Result of Collision of a Big Asteroid with the Sun

TL;DR

This study links ancient Black Sea flooding to a possible asteroid collision with the Sun, suggesting increased rainfall and a super-tsunami as causes, supported by speleothem growth data from Bulgaria.

Contribution

It introduces an astronomical theory connecting asteroid impacts with solar radiation increases to biblical flood events, supported by paleoclimatic data.

Findings

Speleothem growth indicates massive prehistoric rainfall.

Black Sea flooding possibly caused by a super-tsunami.

Proposes asteroid collision as a trigger for increased solar radiation.

Abstract

A good correlation between the growth rate of the cave speleothems and the annual precipitation at the cave site allow quantitative reconstruction of the precipitation. Measuring the growth rate of a speleothem from Duhlata Cave, Bulgaria we found that around 7500 B.P. the speleothem growth rate (averaged for 120 years) exceeds 53 times its recent value suggesting that enormous precipitation flooded the Black Sea basin at that time. Its possible connection with the Bible (Noahs) Flood is discussed. We propose a possible mechanism of the flooding of the Black Sea during the Flood involving production of a super- Tsunami by pushing of the Black Sea water towards the Crimea cost by Mediterranean waters. We propose also an Astronomical Theory of the origin of the Bible Flood. We attribute higher water evaporation and rainfall to be caused by rapid increasing of the solar radiation resulting from a collision of a large asteroid or comet with the Sun.
