Evidence found for the Great Flood!

No, not that one. The Chinese one.

Geologists have found evidence for an ancient megaflood which they say is a good match for the mythical deluge at the dawn of China's first dynasty.

The legend of Emperor Yu states that he tamed the flooded Yellow River by dredging and redirecting its channels, thereby laying the foundations for the Xia dynasty and Chinese civilisation.

Previously, no scientific evidence had been found for a corresponding flood.

But now a Chinese-led team has placed just such an event at about 1,900BC.

I thought this was know already? Or it this a completely new ancient flood?

Apparently, it's new archeological and geological finds combining to confirm what was already known/suspected, and giving a more accurate date for it.

what is the "old" ancient flood you are alluding to?

As far as I know, this is the only ancient flood that was once written about, did not have any evidence for its existence, and now evidence is found.

The Christian bible plagiarized an old myth about an ancient flood, but there never has been found evidence to support the myth.
