In Genesis 10:25 ... Two sons were born to Eber; The first was named Peleg for in his time was the earth divided, and his brothers name was Joktan.
If you calculate the date of his birth it is 99 years after the flood.
Mankind had this amount of time to migrate, as well as the animals... add in Genesis 11...as men had moved eastward they started building a city with a tower wich would reach to heaven... God did not like this so he confounded mankind.... I for one refuse to believe that he did this through mistical means but rather he divided mankind through putting vast channels of water between people groups...
Most likely he did this through a catastrophic Extra Terrestrial object slamming into earth... which broke the continent apart and also is the cause for the Ice epoch.
I also purpose that formations like the Grande Canyons are actually the evidence of the broken Springs of the Great deep which happened during the flood....
My apologies for a hasty posting, but I have not much time these days and would rather be spending my time in fellowship... blessings to you all.

This would be a mystical event, considering the types of effects the collision would have had to produce.

Remarkable that the Chinese and Egyptians failed to record either this or the Big Wet Time in their records written at and before that time....

Calculate out the kinetic energy lost in slamming an object big enough to do that into the earth. I think you'll find it would have been the Steam and Molten Rock Epoch, not ice.

Ur, the home city of Peleg (Abraham's great great great great grandfather) was excavated by the archaeologist Sir Leonard Wooley in the 1920's. During the course of the excavation, he discovered a layer of clay some 8 feet or 2.5 m deep. This could only have been deposited by a catastrophic river flood.
Flood legends exist the world over, for the very simple reason that the last glacial maximum occurred some 20,000 years ago and sea levels rose several hundred feet to their present level by approximately 10,000 BC.
There is evidence that the Black Sea flooded suddenly when a wall a debris forming a dam in the Bosphoros burst. The Mediterranean Sea seems to have been several hundred feet higher than the level of the Black Sea. The effect of this must have been astonishing to anyone who lived on the banks ot the Black Sea and would have formed the basis of legend throughout the near east.
Many cultures throughout the world have their flood myths but the flooding in Mesopotomia discovered by Sir Leonard Wooley is unlikely to have been anything other than a relatively localised event.
The formation of the Grand Canyon is well established by geologists. It was not affected by glaciation (or the valleys would have the distinctive U-shape) and neither was it significantly affected by a flood in historical time.
