Ancient Mediterranean megaflood finally confirmed by modern science

In a nutshell Scientists have found definitive evidence of Earth's largest known flood, which occurred 5 million years ago when Atlantic waters burst through Gibraltar and rapidly refilled the dried-out Mediterranean Sea with enough force to move 100 times more water than all of Earth's current rivers combined.

The article from MSN discusses the confirmation of an ancient megaflood in the Mediterranean, known as the Zanclean Flood, which occurred around 5.3 million years ago. This event ended the Messinian salinity crisis, a period when the Mediterranean Sea had largely dried up due to its connection with the Atlantic Ocean being cut off. The flood was caused by the breaching of the Strait of Gibraltar, allowing the Atlantic Ocean to refill the Mediterranean basin. Evidence for this flood was found through geological studies, including the analysis of sediment layers and the dating of marine fossils. The research, published in the journal "Scientific Reports," utilized advanced techniques like seismic imaging and deep-sea drilling to confirm the scale and impact of this cataclysmic event, which reshaped the Mediterranean landscape and had significant implications for the region's climate and ecosystems.
