The Black Sea was not empty, it was a large freshwater lake, and the Mediterranean was connected to the global ocean. Even according to the wildest variant of the Black Sea Deluge Hypothesis, the pre-flood level of the Black Sea was not more than 80 meters below the level of the ocean. The Black Sea is only about 1/900 of the area of the ocean, so that filling the Black Sea by 80 meters of water would decrease the level of the ocean by not more than 10 cm (4 inches). | |
