What caused the global flood more than 4,000 years ago?

Many peoples in the world, such as Mesopotamia, Greece, India, China, Maya and other civilizations, have the legend of the Great Flood, the most well-known in China is the Great Flood that occurred in about 1920 BC and the story of Dayu's water control. It is said that the flood at that time looked like an "endless boiling water", and the ferocious flood destroyed the course of the Yellow River, the streets of the ancient city, and the farmland. A great man who tamed the flood and restored all things to life, so that the ancient Chinese civilization could be continued, and that person was Emperor Yu, who founded China's first dynasty, Xia.

The Washington Post 4** leads, this kind of once-in-a-millennium flood, even in today's highly developed science, is still helpless, and there is no treatment plan. Therefore, for modern people, the great flood that occurred in China more than 4,000 years ago and the flood control of Dayu are mostly regarded as myths. The reason for this myth is that historians have found no archaeological evidence of the efficacy of the flood or the devastating damage caused by the Great Flood, no historical artifacts left over from the Yu or Xia dynasties, and only what researchers have found is what has been recorded by later generations based on stories that have been passed down from generation to generation.

In 2007, Wu Qinglong noticed that some sediments were of unusual thickness and looked like "sediments after a flood burst", and found many mudstones and greenschists that should have been far upstream in the mountains, suggesting that the Yellow River experienced a severe flood in ancient times. Wu then quickly assembled archaeologists, geologists and historians to form a research team to explore whether the legendary Great Flood actually existed.

In addition, thousands of years ago, a huge ** crushed the house of the Lajia family, and the children's bones found at the site, carbon 14 test results found that it occurred in 1922 BC (before and after plus or minus 28 years). Based on the evidence found, the research team speculated that in the mountains west of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, avalanches fell to the mouth of Jishi Gorge, creating an artificial dam to prevent the river from passing, and the river began to fill the canyon, and the water level continued to **, and people living downstream only saw the Yellow River gradually drying up, unaware that a catastrophe was coming.

I think it was caused by the climate at that time, and there was also a human factor.

Because the movement of the earth's crust is not so violent, the upward movement of the plates is not so severe, and then the terrain is relatively flat.

At that time, the drainage system was so backward that the stagnant water in various places merged into one stream, forming a major flood.

It should be caused by a lot of rainfall, some of the different climates of the earth.

At that time, the global flood was caused by the movement of the earth's crustal plates, which caused the water to overflow.

This may be caused by natural factors, and the specific cause has not yet been studied.

It may be due to days of rain, rising sea levels, crustal movements, and other factors.

Prehistoric Flood - refers to a long time ago, the northern hemisphere of the earth was surrounded by floods, according to some documents, the origin of the flood at that time is unknown, nearly a thousand meters high waves rushed to the ground, the mountain peaks were submerged, and the earth roared. All living things on the earth were swallowed up, and the flood overwhelmed all land and swallowed up all life.

On the occasion of looking at the ancients, the four poles are wasted, Kyushu is split, the sky is not covered, the earth is not circumferential, the fire is not extinguished, and the water is flowing without ceasing-from "Huainanzi".

Ancient Babylonian texts say: "The terrible situation was unbearable, the earth roared, and everyone ran to the mountains", according to Sumerian tablets before 2600 B.C.

So, some scholars come to the conclusion:

The prehistoric Flood was indeed true, occurring around 2370 B.C.E.;

The cause of the Flood is not clear, but it has been pointed out that the cause came from an astonishing energy riot that could not have come from the earth;

It is precisely because of the prehistoric flood that the fault of prehistoric civilization was created, such as the legend about "Atlantis"!

may really have been, because whether it is the story of Dayu's water control or the myth of Noah's Ark abroad, relevant scenes have been recorded.

Chinese. The dynasty name of the Xia Dynasty, derived from Yu's fiefdom number, is the son of Qi and the father. Yu's fief is in Qiang, and the location is the plateau, and the plateau naturally has the advantage of avoiding the water.

And Yu's merit is to control the water. Hua is the origin of summer in Huayang, and this land was also flattened by the great flood.

…Qiang is nothing more than a place inhabited by ethnic minorities. If the Yellow River Basin, the Central Plains region, and the Huayang District in the old source area were not swept away by the water at the same time, how could the scholars of the Central Plains humbly consider themselves to be in the same vein of China? Even the king of Chu was squeezed out of me, a barbarian.

Isn't it supposed to be so, how did the scholars who held the right to speak recognize Xia as the source of the important theory? That's the recognition of the Shi clan——— all barbarians outside the Central Plains!

…The sky is tilting to the northwest, the earth is sinking to the southeast, and the co-workers are angry and hit the mountains. Gonggong, which is defined in the name of the god of water, can be seen how big the water is. Aren't there mountains in the West? Only escaped from the boat. There must be mountains, just because the mountains are not high, but in the elevation.

In 1998, China experienced the most recent major flood in the history of Bai.

Water, when the Chinese had to divert the flood water to the central part of the Yangtze River basin, back to protect the city and the industrial towns along the Yangtze River. The situation in Wuhan, the provincial capital in eastern Hubei province, where the city is bisected by the Yangtze River and is vulnerable to flooding.

A larger flood is a flood with a return period of 10 to 20 years. In hydrology, in addition to using flood frequency to measure the size of floods, it is also commonly used to express the return period (in years), which refers to the average number of years when a flood of a certain magnitude occurs over a long period of time. Floods with a return period of 10 to 20 years are considered "major floods".

Rivers, oceans, lakes and other water bodies ** exceed a certain water level, threatening the safety of the relevant areas, and even causing disasters to the flow of water. Also known as the Great Water. The word flood comes from the pre-Qin "Shangshu Yaodian" in China.

Since then, there have been many recorded floods over the past 4,000 years, and the earliest record of a flood in Europe dates back to 1450 BC. The Tigris Euphrates River in Western Asia and the Nile River in Africa date back to the 40th century BC.

The Yangtze River flood in August 1931 was considered one of the worst natural disasters in the history of mankind in the world. The disaster, which killed about 4 million people and affected a quarter of China's population at the time, was so severe that on August 18 alone, a flood caused $2 billion in property damage and killed 10,000 people. The floods on the Yangtze River affected 10 provinces, destroyed 186 counties and cities, affected 8.38 million mu of farmland, reduced rice production (leading to famine), and ravaged typhoid fever and dysentery.

In 1931, the land of Jianghuai suffered a rare catastrophic flood in a century, involving 8 provinces and autonomous regions including Hubei and Anhui, with a total population of more than 50 million, more than 400,000 deaths, and nearly 100 million acres of farmland. For this disaster, the people of the time said that "the flood flowed sideways, overflowed the plains, turned into a huge flood, and the tragedy of death and displacement was shocking". This article is only a glimpse of the disaster situation, and analyzes the causes of the disaster and the situation of disaster relief.

Droughts and floods are uneven, and natural disasters are prominent.

Respect the laws of nature, otherwise it is tantamount to disregarding human life.

Floods, starvation and death are all recorded in different river basins, such as the 1976 flood in the Huanghuai Plain, the 1998 flood control in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and so on.

Severe floods in history, the Yellow River in ancient times. The Yangtze River flood in '96 and so on.

In 1998, there was a devastating flood in the Yangtze River basin in China. The flood was almost a full-fledged rout of the main concern. Countless people have lost their homes, and if it were not for the hard work of our people's soldiers fighting the flood, it would not have been possible to control such a powerful flood on the front line.

Considered one of the worst natural disasters in human history, the 1931 Yangtze River flood was one of the deadliest single events in history. After a period of extreme rainfall, the densely populated Yangtze River basin began to overflow. The water will spread over an area of about 500 square miles, forcing 500,000 people to evacuate.

The most severe floods in the history of the world. The flood of the Yellow River in 1887 and the flood of the Yangtze River in 191931. are all more serious.

The 1931 Yangtze River flood was one of the deadliest single events in history. After a period of extreme rainfall, the densely populated Yangtze River basin began to overflow.

I only know that the flood in the eastern section of the Yellow River in 1963 and the flood disaster in the Yangtze River basin in 1998 are the famous 98 flood fights!

According to the Bible, in the prehistoric civilization, it rained a lot, and it rained for hundreds of days, all of them were human beings who built Noah's Ark.

In l998, the people of the whole country suffered too much damage from the flood, the grain was damaged, the industry was shut down, and the schools were closed, which brought great losses to the country.

The flood of 1931 may have been the worst in China's history.

In fact, I really don't know about the floods in the world because I want to know, so I can only look it up on the Internet, but I have experienced it. The worst floods. That's '81. At that time, the flood was very big.
