Hi Graham I think the fact that you only caught the last few seconds of the programme may have led to some confused messages. The creation of the English Channel and the Caspian Sea are reckoned to be entirely separate geological processes, created some 200,000 years ago (the Channel) and 5 million years ago (Caspian), and are therefore unlikely to have any link with flooding in North America.

Mention of "The Great Flood"had me thinking of the Programme that was on the Telly a while ago. I don't know what this programme was called,but it was introduced by Tony ROBINSON, The Ex-Baldrick Wallah,mate of Rowan ATKINSON.   Anyway,I only caught the last few seconds of this programme,and he mentioned a similar "Great Flood"of 14,500 years ago.   Did anyone see it?   It mentioned that a vast area of Canada had a sudden global warming job, which melted a vast area of ice.   This Ice was of the Fresh Water Variety,   And with this melting,a Tsunami happened which caused all this water to rush across the Atlantic and swept across Europe, seperating The United Kingdom from the land mass of France,Thereby causing the Water between Dover and Calais.   This same Tsunami carried on further inland and finally ended up to form a freshwater lake in the Caspian sea, or some other Freshwater Lake over there?   [My Geography is sadly lacking since leaving School over 50 years ago!] The bottom line to all of this being, Was THIS the Great Flood of Biblical times perhaps? Comments? Cheers Graham.
