...outside accounts say the flood was localized. Some theories even suggest it was the account of the Black Sea coming into existence...tend to agree with that one.

Of course the real story is about the fallen angels known as the "Watchers" in other texts.

Either way, it was later "theologians" who created the mass flooding of the entire world and dropped the rest of the story.
