Miturile pe aceasta tema sunt suficient de multe astfel incat unii geologi (confrati de-ai tai, Marinel) au propus o noua disciplina: geomitologia http://en.wikipedia....yth_and_geology
In unele dintre acestea sunt mentionate si alte fenomene premergatoare sau concomitente cu inundatia, anume iluminare brusca, "sfere" de foc care traverseaza cerul, izbituri terifiante (explozii), preschimbarea zilelor in nopti. Chiar in Epopeea lui Ghilgames sunt descrise si alte fenomene (bineinteles, metaforic) in afara unei simple inundatii:
- Pamantul a fost luminat de flacari stralucitoare;
- Pamantul a fost izbit (sfaramat) ca un vas de lut;
- lumina zilei s-a preschimbat in intuneric de nu se mai vede om cu om;
- furtuni puternice, revarsari masive de ape si ploi care au durat zile si nopti.
S-ar putea spune ca e vorba de un mic rezumat al efectelor produse de un asteroid care patrunde in atmosfera Pamantului si-l loveste:
...and the seven judges of Hell, the Annunaki, raised their torches, lighting the land with their livid flame. A stupor of despair went up to heaven when the god of the storm turned daylight into darkness, when he smashed the land like a cup. One whole day the tempest raged, gathering fury as it went, it poured over the people like tides of battle; a man could not see his brother nor the people be seen from heaven. Even the gods were terrified at the flood, they fled to the highest heaven, the firmament of Anu; they crouched against the walls, cowering like curs..
Holocene Impact Working Group, un grup de cercetatori experti in diferite domenii (geologie, geomorfologie, geofizica, arheologie etc.) care sustin ca impactul Pamantului cu asteroizi este un fenomen mult mai comun decat o atesta actualul consens stiintific. http://www.utsandieg...n14meteors.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia....t_Working_Group
Ipoteza existentei mai multor potopuri Multiple flood hypothesis, este sustinuta de geologi:
http://en.wikipedia....Missoula_Floodshttp://en.wikipedia....lood_hypothesisGeologul Patrick K. Spencer (Departamentul de Geologie, Whitman College, Washington) considera ca prezenta unor fosile de mamifere bine conservate in anumite sedimente constituie evidente solide in sprijinul ipotezei de mai sus. Iata si argumentele sale:
