This one's new to me - reminiscent of the Cities of the Red Night stuff that

     As I just said, and will repeat as often as necessary:

     How did it do all that if, as the KJV Bible says, it was confined 
to "the face of the earth" (Gen. 7:4) adjacent to "the roof of the 
world (Tibet, and "the face of the earth" was the "hidden" location 
easy of Nod and far east of Mesopotamia (Gen. 4:14-16), or Aden, Eden, 
or Edinu, as that region was called in early times.  By biblical 
chronology it occurred in 2345-2344 BC, starting (by the Genesis 
calendar) it began 1 November 2345 BC.
     As far as we know "the face of the earth" was what we now call 
the Tarim Basin, Long. 75 to 95 Lat. 34 to 44, and Noah's flood/ 
earthquake plunged the nation there into "the great deep" and breached 
the Pe Shan (its eastern border) so that as sand from the Gobi Desert 
blew in, the great deep -- an Asian freshwater Mediterranean -- 
drained into China for decades, as Chinese legendary history records, 
leaving the basin totally desiccated and burying the nation that had 
settled there beyond reach.
     It is probably true that the nation destroyed had been the source 
of all knowledge in the world -- which is why it was known as "the 
face of the earth" -- and why a very local catastrophe was (and still 
is) a global disaster.  It is commemorated all over the world 
generally about 1 November by some kind of "festival of the dead" 
(like our own Halloween) or, as in Mexico, on 17 November since 
Genesis says it started on the 17th of the month.  Persia called the 
whole of November the month of death, and Australian aborigines called 
the Pleiades, which appeared there in November, the givers of rain.  
It was still, according to the Bible, a local flood/earthquake.
     How can that possibly be confused with the ice age meltdown?
