Heat Calculations for Post-Flood Plate Movements

With the resulting tsunamis sloshing around only until the time of Columbus. Of course.You still have to wonder how the ancient Micronesians managed to settle the islands of the Asia-Pacific Rim circa 4000 BCE. They were already building villages on the island of Taiwan by that time. How exactly does one plant crops on an island that's still at the bottom of the ocean, waiting for the subduction process to raise it?The Micronesians were impressive ocean explorers but now their feats loom larger than ever. Imagine the challenge they faced, navigating between islands that popped up and down like corks as sea levels bounced around, harbors vanished as rapidly as they appeared, and every coastline warped and compressed and stretched itself like taffy.And they would have to beware of India barreling through, on its way to that spectacular crash with Asia...____(Reality check: this thread)

Your revised chronology for Egypt, as RickJB noted, doesn't help you. And you still have to explain how Egyptian civilization could establish itself on a river delta before the Mediterranean Sea had even formed.You have more ancient cultures to account for than just Egypt. A revised chronology there carries little significance for the events I mentioned in east Asia. And this part of the world presents huge geological problems for you.Never mind China or Japan and those long histories. Let's look at India.The Indian crustal plate separated from Madagascar in the late Mesozoic (Cretaceous Period) and moved quickly north to collide with the Eurasian continent. The Indus Valley, of course, is home to one of the world's great ancient civilizations.You insist on the compression of all this into a blindingly brief span of time. In a matter of generations, India has to fly north from a spot much further south, slam into Eurasia to spark a crust-cracking fury of mountain formation, yet function--despite that nuclear holocaust level of upheaval--as a place friendly to human settlement, agriculture, and trade.If India and Eurasia had collided at those speeds a mere 4,500 years ago, it's the last real estate on earth where one would look for ancient cultures today. Mount Everest would still be belching lava. The earthquakes would be rattling your desk in Australia.Have you considered changing your handle to Catastrophe Base?.Edited by Archer Opterix, : HTML.
