Geologist have found evidence for an ancient megaflood which they say is a good match for the mythical deluge at the dawn of china's first dynasty
The legend of emperor Yu States that he tamed the flooded yellow river by dredging and diverting its channels, thereby laying the foundation for the Xia dynasty and Chinese civilization.
Previously, no scientific evidence had been found for a corresponding flood,
But now a Chinese led-team has placed such an event at about 1900BC. http://bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment
