Scientists Confirm China's Legendary Ancient Flood Was Real

With over 4 trillion gallons of rushing water, it was a flood of biblical proportions. Villages for miles around were swallowed in a single, violent gulp. Yet a king arose out of the destructive floodwaters. By dredging of the flooded lands, he founded the Xia dynasty that would live on centuries. At least, that's how the epic Chinese legend goes.

And today scientists have found the first proof that this ancient Chinese legend is true.

A team of archaeologists and geographers, led by Qinglong Wu at Peking University, in Beijing, China has discovered sedimentary evidence that the Chinese 'Great Flood' really did happen. In roughly 1920 BC—as China was transitioning from the neolithic era to the bronze age—an enormous flood on the Yellow River barreled down a corridor now known as the Jishi Gorge, into the Guanting Basin in central China. Wu and his colleagues describe their discovery today in the journal Science.

To understand how Wu's team discovered the fingerprints of the 4 trillion gallon flood, you have to know how a such a disaster could have even arisen in the first place.

:D - but I can see where this is going to end up if this is cited as proof of Noah's flood.

Nah, just a massive generalized flood. It would have been a little too obvious/suicidal to even try and link the two :D
