Re:The Theroy (Score 1)

I saw the National Geographic special on it. Robert Ballard, the explorer who discovered the R.M.S. Titanic was heading the expedition. Here is the official website for the entire expedition. Ballard was hoping to find houses under the Black Sea that would explain the theory of a rapidly rising shoreline of the Black Sea; in which the inhabitants would tell others about a large flood, forming the basis of Great Flood stories. He didn't really find any conclusive evidence of houses but found many shipwrecks since the waters under 200 meters in the Black Sea are anoxic, in which organic materials do no decay.
