  16. Evidence of Flood The excavations made by Sir Leonard in the Mesopotamian plains disclosed the presence of a mud-clay layers 2.5 m. deep in the earth. This mud-clay layer was most probably formed by the clay masses carried by the Flood water and, in the whole world, it only exits under the Mesopotamian plains. This discovery became important piece of evidence proving that the Flood has only occurred on the Mesopotamian plains.  (Harun Yahya, Perished Nations, 2004)
