My brother brought to my attention the work being done on the flooding of the Black Sea with the idea that that event provided a historical experience that would be the basis for a legend of a world wide flood that came to be the mythical story of Noah.
National Geographic - 404
I don't see how that could be proven though.

edit: I mean I don't see that it could be proven that it was the basis for the myth. The evidence for the Black Sea flooding seems to be good.
