Anyone know of a scholarly resource on the ancient deluge comparing different ancient versions of the story, and also going into possible scenarios of the event that the stories refer to? (Ideally from a textual/scientific background, and not a purely Judeo/Christian background) One that also goes in to archeological & geological evidence would be excellent (even if there is none). (Not against creation Science per se - but I want to read up on the scholarly side of this topic.)
Any good resources out there?
