Prehistoric Deluge in Europe
Illustration of a flood in Northern Europe, from Louis Figuier's The World Before the Deluge, 1867 American edition. The idea of a massive flood was used to explain erratic boulders and unstratified sediment deposits found throughout Europe during the Quaternary Period. Most of these deposits were probably caused by ice-age glaciers.
