I wrote the message below to the Professors:

To Professor William Ryan, Columbia University
Professor Walter Pitman, Columbia University

c/o Professor Robert Ballard, Rhode Island University


Dear Sir

After your researches, and the Professor Robert Ballard’s expedition to the Black Sea in 2000, I’m reading/learning in many scientific subjects specialized sites in the internet that the Science have no more doubts that a flood of unimaginable proportions took place in the Black Sea (and in the Mediterranean Sea as well) thousand of years ago (it was said to be about 7.000 years ago………..).

The flood is a fact for Science, but the doubt that remains, as I’ve read, is how/what had originated this unimaginable occurrence in the Nature.

As I have read there are at least two main explanations/theories for the flooding:
1.A tsunami of great proportions
2.The melting of the ices at the end of a Glacial Age

I’m very sorry to say that, in my opinion, these two (and only ones, as far as I know) main theories to explain the flood are ABSURDS!!!!

I first took notice of the flood in the book “The Outline of History” by H. G. Wells, a British writer and historian, when I was researching to write a book of mine. After that, I had researched and studied the fact for 07 (seven) years (that includes your researches on the subject).

To understand my point of view on the subject, let me firstly put here what I read about your thesis in the site PBS-Scientific American Frontiers:

Sediment core-samples the scientists took from the bottom of the Black Sea revealed sections of once-dry, sun-baked land.



Geologists Walter Pitman and William Ryan were the first to gather evidence that the Black Sea flooded 7500 years ago
These sediments were then covered by sections of uniform mud, strongly suggesting that these plains underwent a long-ago influx of saltwater. Though not worldwide, this cataclysmic event occurred at what could have been a locus of human activity at the time.

The Black Sea: Before and After
________________________________________
In their 1998 book, Noah's Flood: The New Scientific Discoveries about the Event that Changed History, Ryan and Pitman suggest the Black Sea was once a much smaller, land-locked freshwater lake, fed by ancient rivers, and surrounded by fertile plains. Neolithic people, Ryan and Pitman suppose, would have flocked to farm these Eden-like plains to farm them while supplementing their diets with the lake's abundant shellfish.
At this time - about 7,500 years ago - the global climate was still rapidly warming following the last Ice Age, causing the seas to rise. Ryan and Pitman hypothesize that, when sea levels rose beyond a critical point, the Mediterranean Sea overflowed, deluging the Black Sea basin with salty water and destroying the fertile plains around the once-shallow freshwater lake.
In other words, as far as I understood, based in scientific facts you had found, you suggest that the Mediterranean Sea level had risen and had deluged the Black Sea.

To understand what this can really mean in reality, in the Nature environment, let’s have in mind the image of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, with the Marmora Sea between them.





It’s not difficult to realize that the three seas are 03 communicating vessels, linked by the Strait of Dardanelles (Mediterranean Sea/Marmora Sea) and the Bosphorus Strait (Marmora Sea/Black Sea).

From the Wikipedia Encyclopedia we know that the Bosphorus (or Bosporus) Strait is 30km long, maximum width 3.700m and a maximum depth of 126m.

Also, from the same Encyclopedia, we know that the Dardanelles Strait has a maximum depth of 82m.

Since we are treating about communicating vessels, is not hard to realize that to fill the Black Sea to its actual level of water, the Mediterranean level should rise as well at least 126m, from the beginning of the deluging (the beginning of the filling) of the Black Sea until the end of the deluging (the final of the filling)………..

We know from Encarta Encyclopedia (Microsoft) that the Mediterranean Sea has a surface of 2.500.000km2 and an average depth of 1,5km. Considering all this, the Mediterranean Sea has a total volume of water of about 3.75 millions cubic kilometers of water.

So, to rise the Mediterranean Sea at least 126 meters, it would be necessary a total volume of about 300.000km3 of water!!

With regard to the theory of an enormous tsunami for the deluging/flooding of the Black Sea, one must remember that a tsunami doesn’t rise the level of the seas where it occurs……… So, after a tsunami that could eventually had happened by that time (7.000 years ago), the level of the Mediterranean Sea and the level of the Black Sea would be back to their levels. Not even a meter higher……………….

With regard to the melting of the ice in the final of a Glacial Age, the other considered main theory for the deluging/flooding of the Black Sea, let’s consider some scientific facts.

Taking into consideration that the ice in a glacial age is not so thick, let’s figure no much more than 20 meters for the surfaces over the earth and for the surface over (and above) the waters of rivers, seas and oceans (please notice that to cause a rise in the seas and oceans levels we must take into consideration only the ice above the surface of Earth) and that it had covered a surface no larger than half the Europe and the North Atlantic Ocean (according to Wikipedia), I’m afraid to say that when a glacial ice melts it doesn’t form/produce such a very huge amount of water necessary to rise the Mediterranean Sea level in 126m (and the Marmora Sea in 82m and the Black Sea in 126m as well).

Aside from that, the ice melting at the final of a glacial age is supposed to be slowly, taking many years for that. Not suddenly……….

But this is not all……

We must take into consideration as well that the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean (which by itself, is joined to the Pacific Ocean and all the other seas and oceans throughout the Earth…..) are two communicating vessels, linked to each other by the Gibraltar Strait.

With regard to the Gibraltar Strait, we learned from the Encarta Encyclopedia that it is 70 kilometers long, at least 16 kilometers of width, and at least 300 meters of depth.

I think it’s not difficult to realize that we are treating of communicating vessels, and to have the Mediterranean Sea risen by 126 meters in order to fill the other two seas (Marmora and Black seas) as we had seen, it would be necessary to rise the level of the Atlantic Ocean and the level of the Pacific Ocean and all the levels of others seas and oceans on the Earth in at least 126 meters!!

Can anyone imagine the significance of this water volume is???

Remember that to form a flood that would deluge/flood the three mentioned seas (Mediterranean, Black and Marmora seas), it would be necessary to form this unimaginable amount of water in a hurry, in a small lapse of time…….

I think you agree with me that this, to form such a volume of water suddenly, is an impossible task to have occurred in the Nature in any time of the past billions of years the Earth exists…….

And, what now? How can we justify the deluge/flooding of the Black Sea (at least) having in mind that Science now takes it as a scientific fact, a scientific reality?

I dare to say that only one answer matches this question, and to begin such debate/discussion/argument it’s necessary to put in here a theory that is not recognized by the actual Science, as far as I have read.

The theory is that, less than 15.000 (fifteen thousand) years ago, the Mediterranean Basin was blocked/set apart from the Atlantic Ocean by an earth and rocks mixture surface that covered/filled the place/region where now runs the Gibraltar Strait/channel…..

As I wrote before, I admit that this fact is not found in any scientific site or common books that treats of correlated subjects, but H. G. Wells (I don’t know where he learned about this……) mentions it in his already here mentioned book “The Outline of History”. Wells mentions this theory in the first Book, out of the 03 Books that form the oeuvre. He even shows a map of the Europe, North of Africa and Asia in the Secondary Paleolithic Age, 35.000 to 23.000 years ago, which copy (from the 1939 year’s Brazilian Edition) is showed in the following picture:



The figure shows the two lakes/seas (in green) that rested by that time, since the water in the Mediterranean basin was drying, because the water that flowed in the lakes/seas from the surrounding rivers were in lower amount than the water that evaporates from them. The actual Mediterranean Sea is shown in blue dots. Observe that having in mind the actual 300 meters of depth of the Gibraltar Strait, the level of the two lakes/seas might be at least 300m below the Atlantic Ocean level.

Of course, now drops the inevitable question: how was the Gibraltar Strait reopened?
(I believe it was REopened. Please remember that the large amount of water in the basin/two lakes/seas was drying and getting more and more salty, so, once in an anterior past, it was probably opened to the salty waters of the Atlantic Ocean).

I’m very sorry to say that the only possible way to accomplish this achievement, the suddenly reopening of the Gibraltar Strait, was through an enormous amount of energy equivalent to several atomic bombs or millions and millions of tons of TNT that thorn the rocky and earth existing in the actual channel, transforming part of it in a hot red paste (in contact with the water invading from the Atlantic Ocean this hot paste formed huge black clouds, that afterwards dropped in an intense rain in a hundreds kilometers ratio region, that one could figure as a true deluge……..).

Once the Strait was (I would say almost instantaneously) reopened, an enormous amount of water suddenly entered per second through the at least 16.000 meters by 300 meters reopened passage/channel. The tremendous flow of water from the reopened Gibraltar Strait first had filled the occidental lake, then the second lake (so called Levantino Sea) to the orient, then the Mediterranean basin, dragging away the mollusks that lived there and taking part of them to the Black Sea (as stated by Professor Ballard expedition to the Black Sea). In the following the incoming water created the Marmora Sea and finally had filled the fresh water of the Black Sea with concentrated, highly salty water (as you discovered in your researches…..).

This theory (the relatively quick reopening of the Gibraltar Strait) also furnishes an explanation to the Noah track from the start in the region of Palestine to the hills in…. Armenia:

The strong stream coming from west took the Noah’s ark (ark remembers a box, with no sail/canvas and, evidently, no auto propeller engine…..), pushed and ride it firstly through the Dardanelles Strait that was being formed, then through the newly formed Marmora Sea, and then to the Bosphorus Strait, that was being formed as well. The stream from the occidental source, the water strongly flowing from the reopened Strait of Gibraltar, finally pushed the ark to the Black Sea and set it (and the people on board) in the mentioned (now covered by the new level of the sea) hills of Armenia (according to Encarta, Armenia, by that time, was a country in the south border of the Black Sea).

Now, other inevitable questions arise: WHO and WHY reopened the Gibraltar Strait?

The answers to these questions take us to an apparently crazy, delirious, insane, mad, lunatic or any other sounding properly word that come to your mind when you read this:

I suppose the answers are in my book:

“ERAM (O DEUS NA BÍBLIA) ALIENÍGENAS?” or “DATA LIMITE”

We could translate this double title of my book as:

“WERE (GOD IN THE BIBLE) ALIENS?” or “LIMIT DATE”

(before you criticize/disparage/mock the bad grammar used in the book title, notice that God refers to himself as a couple/plural of people….. Please see the Bible, Genesis, 7;11, “Tower of Babel”. There you can read “Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.")

This book of mine tells the histories/experiences of some of the Bible characters, such as Noah, with an entity that they accept/consider as their God.

Now I’ll reveal/expose the main reason why I’m writing this message/letter: I want to have my book to be published, and I believe you can be of a very good help to do that.

Of course, for the purpose to have the book published I’m willing to legally share part of my copyrights on the book to anyone who can help me to do so (I think it may become an international best seller and thus generate a couple of million dollars of earnings/profit……)

But it’s necessary/required to act as quickly as possible, because according to my book and to one of several world occurrences in the History described in code in the Bible, the World and the Humanity shall come to an end in 2012 (it’s written in code in Exodus 1;4 “Earth annihilated”, and in the same Exodus 34;10, “2012” .

In a fantastic coincidence (???) the Mayan’s calendar ends in the same year……….. (there’s an American movie treating about this, that shall be coming soon).

Of course the dates/numbers in the Bible and in the Mayan calendar were properly fit to our 2012 calendar date.

Please, I’d appreciate any response to this letter/message, even if it’s negative.

In the same way, please tell me if you find where I’m wrong, and how. After all, deeply in my soul, I’m a bit scared, since I’m feeling being used in an unimaginable, unknown, invisible gear……………….

Thank you so much in advance,

João Carlos da Costa Reis,

Rewriting my text above in a more simple, narrative way and I hope, in a more easy way to understand. Thanks.

After the researches from Professors William Ryan and Walter Pitman, and the Professor Robert Ballard's expedition to the Black Sea in 2000, the Science seems to have no more doubts that a flood of unimaginable proportions took place in the Black Sea (and in the Mediterranean Sea as well) thousand of years ago (it was said to be about 7500 years ago).
The flood is a fact for Science, but the doubt that remains, as far as I have read, is how/what had originated this unimaginable occurrence in the Nature.
There are at least two main explanations/theories for the flooding:
1. A tsunami of great proportions
2. The melting of the ices at the end of a Glacial Age
Anyhow, the Science community has not a common sense on these theories and the scientists tend not to accept them for sure.
Geologists Walter Pitman and William Ryan were the first to gather evidence that the Black Sea flooded 7500 years ago.
In their 1998 book, Noah's Flood: The New Scientific Discoveries about the Event that Changed History, Ryan and Pitman suggest the Black Sea was once a much smaller, land-locked freshwater lake, fed by ancient rivers, and surrounded by fertile plains.
Bringing more evidences to the deluging, in 2000 an expedition under Professor Robert Ballard to the Black Sea discovered the rests of a civilization about 150 meters deep in the sea and mollusks that historically survived only in the Mediterranean Sea.
According to the theory of the melting of the ices at the end of a glacial age, at this time - about 7500 years ago - the global climate was still rapidly warming following the last Ice Age, causing the seas to rise. Ryan and Pitman hypothesize that, when sea levels rose beyond a critical point, the Mediterranean Sea overflowed, deluging the Black Sea basin with salty water and destroying the fertile plains around the once-shallow freshwater lake.
In my opinion this theory, the melting of the ices causing the seas to rise making the Mediterranean Sea to overflow and deluging the Black Sea is an impossible achievement.
To understand what this can mean in reality, in the Nature environment, let's have in mind the image of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, with the Marmora Sea between them.
It's not difficult to realize from the Physics that the three seas are, NOW, 03 communicating vessels, linked by the Strait of Dardanelles (Mediterranean Sea/Marmora Sea) and the Bosphorus Strait (Marmora Sea/Black Sea) and their levels are the same.
According to this theory of Physics, when the level of anyone of the three seas rise, the other ones must rise in the same proportion, and KEEP THE SAME LEVEL AMONG THEM. For instance, if the Mediterranean Sea rises 30 meters all the other two ones will rise in the same proportion, that is, 30 meters as well, keeping, in this way, the same level for the three ones.
This serves to anyone of the two other seas. If the Marmora sea level rises 48 meters the other two seas levels will also rise 48 meters, and so on, keeping the same level among them.
From the Wikipedia Encyclopedia we know that the Bosphorus (or Bosporus) Strait is 30km long, maximum width 3700m and a maximum depth of 126m.
Also, from the same Encyclopedia, we know that the Dardanelles Strait has a maximum depth of 82m.
According to the Science (and as we had seen early in this text), 7500 years ago the Mediterranean Sea WAS SET APART from the land-locked Black Sea, the Bosphorus Strait didn’t exist by that time. Since we are treating about communicating vessels, it's not hard to realize that to fill the Black Sea to its actual level of water (126 meters above the deepest bottom of the Bosphorus Strait), the Mediterranean level should rise as well at least 126m, from the beginning of the deluging (the beginning of the filling) of the Black Sea until the end of the deluging (the final of the filling).
That is, while rising, the Mediterranean Sea level first would reach the deepest point, the bottom of the Bosphorus Strait then would rise more 126 meters, to reach the ACTUAL level.
We know from Encarta Encyclopedia (Microsoft) that the Mediterranean Sea has a surface of 2,500,000km2 and an average depth of 1.5km. Considering all this, the Mediterranean Sea has a total volume of water of about 3.75 millions cubic kilometers of water.
So, to rise the Mediterranean Sea at least 126 meters, it would be necessary a total volume of about 300,000km3 of water.
We can read in the Wikipedia that the ice in a glacial age is not so thick, no much thicker than 20 meters, if so, and in the last Glacial Age it had covered a surface no larger than half the Europe and the North Atlantic Ocean.

For the surfaces of ice over the earth and for the surface of ice over (and above) the waters of the rivers, seas and oceans it’s not difficult to realize that, when a glacial ice melts, it doesn't form/produce such a very huge amount of water necessary to rise the Mediterranean Sea level in at least 126m (and the Marmora Sea in 82m and the Black Sea in 126m as well).

(please notice that the melting ice to cause a rise in the seas and oceans levels we DON’T take into consideration the ice BENEATH the water’s surfaces)
Aside from that, the ice melting at the final of a glacial age is supposed to be slowly, taking many years for that.
Not suddenly.
Not causing a strong stream (so, how could one explain the mollusks from the Mediterranean sea found in the Black Sea as discovered by Professor Ballard expedition?).
But this is not all.
We must take into consideration that 7500 years ago, according to the known Science, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean (which by itself, is joined to the Pacific Ocean and all the other seas and oceans throughout the Earth) were joined by the Gibraltar Strait as they are nowadays and they were two communicating vessels as well.
I think it's not difficult to realize that as we are treating of communicating vessels, to have the Mediterranean Sea rise by 126 meters in order to fill the Black Sea to its actual level as we had seen, it would be necessary to rise the level of the Atlantic Ocean and the level of the Pacific Ocean and all the levels of all the others seas and oceans on the Earth in at least 126 meters, in order to keep their level the same as they are.
Can anyone imagine what the significance of this water volume is?
Remember that to form a flood that would deluge/flood the Black Sea it would be necessary to form this unimaginable amount of water in a hurry, in a relatively small lapse of time.
To form/produce such a volume of water that in a relatively small lapse of time rises in 126 meters all the levels of all oceans and seas all over the World, it’s easy to realize that it’s an impossible task to have occurred in the Nature, in any time of the past billions of years the Earth exists.
With regard to the theory of an enormous tsunami for the deluging/flooding of the Black Sea, one must remember that a tsunami doesn't rise the level of the seas where it occurs. So, after a tsunami that could eventually had happened by that time (7500 years ago), the level of the Mediterranean Sea and the level of the Black Sea would be back to their levels. Not even a meter higher.
What now? Since the two main explanations to the flooding/deluge of the Black Sea sound to be an impossible task, how can we justify the deluge/flooding of the Black Sea having in mind that Science now takes it as a scientific fact, a scientific reality?
I dare to say that only one answer matches this question, and to begin such debate/discussion/argument it's necessary to put in here a theory that is not recognized by the actual Science, as far as I have read.
The theory is that, less than 15,000 (fifteen thousand) years ago, the Mediterranean Basin was land-locked/set apart from the Atlantic Ocean by an earth and rocks mixture that covered/filled the place/region where now runs the Gibraltar Strait/channel.
As I wrote before, I admit that this fact is not found in any scientific site or common books that treat of correlated subjects, but the famous British writer and Historian H. G. Wells (I don't know where he learned about this) mentions it in his book “The Outline of History”. Wells mentions this theory in the first Book, out of the 03 Books that form the oeuvre. He even shows in the book a map of the Europe, North of Africa and Asia in the Secondary Paleolithic Age, 35.000 to 23.000 years ago.
The map shows the two lakes/seas that rested by that time, since the water in the Mediterranean basin was drying, as described by Wells, because the water that flowed in the lakes/seas from the surrounding rivers were in lower amount than the water that evaporates from them. Observe that having in mind the actual 300 meters of depth of the Gibraltar Strait, the level of the two land-locked lakes/seas might be at least 300m below the Atlantic Ocean level.
If we take this fascinating theory into consideration, now drops the question: HOW was the Gibraltar Strait reopened? (Evidences proves that it was REopened. H. G. Wells wrote in his book that the large amount of water in the basin/two lakes/seas was drying and getting more and more salty, so, once in an anterior past, it was probably opened to the salty waters of the Atlantic Ocean).
As far as we can imagine/realize, the only possible way to accomplish the reopening of the Gibraltar surpass/exceed/get ahead of the actually known scientific reality.
As the Science doesn’t have any study on the subject, any explanation that the European continent has separated from the African continent through a Nature event in the last 100,000 years, we don’t have any scientific explication for the reopening of the Gibraltar Strait.
Except by an enormous amount of energy equivalent to several atomic bombs or millions and millions of tons of TNT that torn the rocky and earth existing in the actual channel. As I said, this explication surpass a scientific approach and we can not take it into consideration.
Nevertheless, it’s fascinating, because this theory explains, justifies, put the deluge/flooding of the Black Sea theory completely cleared and scientifically accepted.
Just to imagine, just to have an idea, let’s take it for granted that the reopening of the Gibraltar Strait was almost instantaneous, in such an exploit/achievement that is out of our actual common or scientific knowledge.
Once the Strait was reopened, an enormous amount of water coming from the Atlantic Ocean suddenly entered per second through the at least 16,000 meters of width by 300 meters of depth reopened passage/channel. The tremendous flow of water from the reopened Gibraltar Strait first had filled the occidental lake, then the second lake (called Levantino Sea by Wells) to the orient, then the Mediterranean basin, dragging away the mollusks that lived there and taking part of them to the Black Sea (as found by Professor Ballard’s expedition to the Black Sea).
Next, the incoming water created the Marmora Sea and finally had filled the fresh water of the Black Sea with concentrated, highly salty water (as Professors Pitman and Ryan had discovered in their researches).
This theory (the relatively quick reopening of the Gibraltar Strait) also furnishes an proper explanation to the Noah track from the start in the region of Palestine to the hills in Armenia:
The strong stream coming from west took the Noah's ark (ark remembers a box, with no sail/canvas and, evidently, no auto propeller engine..), pushed and ride it firstly through the Dardanelles Strait that was being formed, then through the newly formed Marmora Sea, and then to the Bosphorus Strait, that was being formed as well. The stream from the occidental source, the water strongly flowing from the reopened Strait of Gibraltar, finally pushed the ark to the Black Sea and set it in the mentioned (now covered by the new, higher level of the sea) hills of Armenia (according to Encarta, Armenia, by that time, was a country in the south border of the Black Sea).
Now, other inevitable questions arise: if this would really take place WHO and WHY reopened the Gibraltar Strait?
Unfaithfully we have no answer for this question in a real, scientific basis.
