A new film portraying the Biblical legend of Noah’s Ark has incurred the wrath of devout Christians for not faithfully representing the story as it is outlined in the Good Book. Whether the film is an accurate portrayal of the fable or not, it has prompted further discussion regarding the truth behind the ancient tale.

Researchers have long debated whether the Great Flood described in the Bible actually happened, and evidence disclosed in a recently published book by British archaeologist, Irving Finkel, “The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood”, suggests that an ancient civilisation wrote detailed instructions illustrating how to build a huge, ark-style vessel to escape from flood waters.

A worldwide flood that took place 14,600 years ago is almost certainly the origin of some of the oldest of all human stories, the flood tales of Native America, the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh and Noah’s Flood.

Scientists now know that it was caused by a very rapid and intense warming event and the collapse of ice sheets all across the planet. But why did it happen?

One theory is that it was caused by a comet striking the Laurentian Ice Sheet above what is now the Great Lakes. This led to the disintegration of the ice sheet and a subsequent dramatic melt and rise in temperatures. This theory is discussed in the Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes by scientists Richard Firestone, Allen West and Simon Warwick-Smith.
