Mega-flood filled the Mediterranean in months →
morningstar:
I wouldnt attribute this event to the ‘Great Flood’ myth that most Mesopotamian/ Aryan / European / North African ancient peoples spoke of (as the article points to ‘Noah’ of Biblical times).

theblacknight asked: I am sure that you have done it already. But can you talk about some of the Norse Heroes.
Hello, Mythfans!
We’re up, we’re back, and we’re ready to bring you a teaspoon of hot mythology every day. Remember the good times we’ve had? Excited for the good times we’re sure to have?

ariannekic asked: HI!
