Here's more of a textbook style of the account if that's your style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanclean_flood .Or here is a creative way of describing the account (which I happen to like) https://everythingisamazing.substack.com/p/in-search-of-a-fl...

Sorry to hear - but thanks for reading it anyway!

fwiw I agree with you too. It read like a kitchen recipe article that has the whole history of apples and grandma's cooking before the recipe steps.

the author's regular readers might be interested in this though. to me, a reader sources from HN I wanted to get to the factual history of the event, than the author's background as well
