I've been geeking out over the great flood for a few months now, I got started with a Joe Rogan podcast when he was speaking with two experts on the subject: Graham Hancock (who does have some woo in his head) and Randall Carlson (who is very anti-woo).
Unfortunately, the podcast is 3 hours long, but never feels it's length if you find ancient civilizations and global catastrophic events to be fascinating subject matter, in summary:
-10,000 years ago, the glacier covering North America was struck by meteor, starting a sudden massive flood, ending the ice age and creating hell on earth conditions for ~1000 years
-Nearly the entirety of the human population and civilization was wiped out during this time
They do a phenomenal job of combining myth, history, geology and scientific analysis to make a very compelling argument about the nature of the great flood and it's impact on the development of humankind.
