I've recently come to think that there is much more that we don't know about our history than we do, leaving me curious about the deeper past, narratives of which always feel in short supply.
I was asked to be an advanced reader for this fiction novel by new author Stephen Thomas set in 7000BCE which follows radical societal development and destruction, inspired by archaeology (including the Black Sea deluge hypothesis and places like Catalhoyuk). While it may not have been the first flood (possibly much earlier) my impression from reading this book is that such an event could well have happened in a similar way.
I don't normally do recommendations like this, but I've seen how I haven't been alone in seeking more of this type of genre. It comes out today. Maybe you might like it too. Would be interested to know!

Earth is ever expanding. Plates shift and natural disasters happen. We’ll never know real truth because by the time we advance further again the material withers and we all act like gollum.
For those interested in exploring this world, the author’s Substack has more info!
