Comment on Archaeology Problems

Well, now we know there was. So - that particular argument against the theory has to be thrown out, right?

Sure, if one of the arguments against it was that there was no civilisation in the world (or fertile crescent and adjacent areas) then yes, that’s not a valid counterpoint.
I was thinking of using the evidence of megastructure building culture in Egypt that there is that matches the, according to the other person, water rising up (if I recall correctly).
It’d be fun and interesting if you’re theory is right. But there’s a lot of burden of proof it needs to overcome. Still, who knows?
