I believe there was a global flood, and it happened fast, that is why all the myths tell about boats and very few survivors. What else could have caused all the myths ?

You have a very low standard of "proof."
A lot of cultures have flood myths and, therefore, there must have been a global flood? How is that proof? Imagine the turn of events that let to what we're seeing, here. How did all these cultures come to learn about the flood? Apparently, it was never recorded since they all have different stories with only the flood in comomn. Verbal tradition run through the
Broken Telephone phenomena? Maybe but I don't think that rises to the level of "proof." Why don't, literally, all cultures have a flood myth? Finally, if there was a global flood, where did the water come from? Where did it go?

I wrote about the egyptians and tobacco just to show that history could be inaccurate. 10000 years ago they say we were living in caves. But the earth is very old, look how far we got in just 10000 years.
Also there are traces of nuclear explosions in ancient India and they also have a poem about them. Troy was just a fantasy story until someone decided to go digg it up.

I am sure they could easily say the same things about Homer and his Iliad, "it's just fantasy" , the people of the time did say this, lucky with that
Henrich Schliemann, he started digging.
Thinking "in the box" never solved any problems. This quote is from a commercial , but it is good  |
Well, to be fair, of course they're going to work on the most popular myth in their culture...
Also, to be fair, "thinking inside the box" solves most of life's problems. It's only the occasional problem that can't be solved in this manner and, so, "thinking outside the box" is necessary...
Who is Henrich Schliemann and what's this about the
Iliad?
