1. I credit the year of the Flood to Bishop Ussher's chronology in general, and Genesis 6-9 in particular.
2. Noah didn't live anywhere near the Black Sea region when the Flood started. In other words, Noah
ended his journey in the mountains of Ararat; he did not
start his journey there.
3. All evidence for the Flood that wasn't "tied down" was siphoned off the earth and sent elsewhere. Evidence on the earth is, in my opinion, as follows:
a) the White Cliffs of Dover and other swept-up and stockpiled coccolithophores
b) meandering rivers
c) the written documentation from God
Ussher missed the age of Abraham by a few decades, not having the history book of the Upright, which shows Abraham was born to Terah when Terah was 70 years old.
Noah did not die until Abraham was 58 years old. The flood ended 292 years before Abraham was born.
Shem lived 502 years after the flood, and lived two hundred ten years after Abraham was born.
Abraham died age 175, Shem lived 35 years after Abraham died.
Jacob and Esau were born five years after Shem died.
My math is terrible, atrocious, and awful, and I hate numbers because they do not remain as pictures in my mind, like words do, and this may need correcting, but Abraham and Shem were contemporaries, and friends.
Shem and Noah lived at Mount Moriah, and that is where Abraham was told to offer Isaac as a sacrifice, and named Mount Moriah, YAH [shall be] Reu/seen [in His] Tselem/image...I do not believe the original name of Jerusalem was from Shalowm/peace, but from Tselem, image, and the "t" is dropped as often happens in contractions.
Shem is the same King of Righteousness who met Abraham and blessed him on his return from the rout of the four kings , Nimrod being one of them who was routed by Abram [Amraphael was Nimrod, named that because "in him [el] the people [am] died/fell [rapha] -at the tower. Shem was morphosed to the likeness/type of the Son of God, as the author of Hebrews states, by his not being named in Torah; but he was named in the writings of the Jews.
Terah was Nimrod's general, and named Abram "exalted father" because Nimrod had exalted Terah as counsel over him and a general in his army.
Nimrod lived to age 215, and Esau killed him when he was 16 years old, the day he came in famished from the hunt and sold his birthright to Jacob.
All the history of the Patriarchs is chronologically given in the history book, the Book of The Upright, from Adam.... until Joshua goes into Canaan,, and does not conflict with, but corroborates, the Torah as to the ages and times, and more details are given which are redacted for Torah accounts, of the lives of the Patriarchs.
