Noah's Flood ++++

This pre-cruise reading was provided by the expedition ofc prior to our circumnavigation of the Black Sea. The two scientist/authors searched much archival information in their search for the time and reason for the flood as portrayed in the biblical story of Noah. It seems they found a very plausible explanation for the fable. The book left little doubt about the search methods; the conclusions are always up for scrutiny but I feel they made a sufficient case for a practical explanation for the flood to have occured in the Black Sea at the Bosporous entrance from the Mediterranean. Written well, I learned a lot about a part of the world previously not thought about.
