Walter Pitman
Walter Pitman is an American oceanographer and geologist known for his research on the geological history of the Black Sea. He gained prominence for his work alongside William Ryan, proposing a theory that links the flooding of the Black Sea to the biblical account of Noah's Flood. Their research, highlighted in their book 'Noah's Flood: The New Scientific Discoveries about the Event that Changed History,' suggests that the Black Sea was once a vast freshwater lake that was dramatically flooded by saltwater from the Mediterranean around 7,000 years ago, leading to significant changes in human civilization in the region.
