In ancient times, the Earth experienced an unprecedented great flood. This event is not only recorded in the ancient Chinese text 'Huainanzi' but is also a common theme found in the legends of various civilizations around the world. The 'Huainanzi' describes phenomena such as the shifting of the Earth's axis and the movement of stars, suggesting changes in the Earth's magnetic field. These changes triggered a series of geological and climatic events, leading to widespread flooding across the globe. Similar stories are mentioned in the Bible, ancient Assyrian texts, and the Epic of Gilgamesh, all pointing to a significant natural disaster that occurred around 5000 BC.
As time has passed, scientists have confirmed the existence of this historical event through geological records. Today, with the intensifying global climate change, rising sea levels present a new challenge. Scientists warn that if global temperatures continue to rise, sea levels could increase by 40 to 140 centimeters, resulting in the flooding of many low-lying areas. In the face of such a future, can humanity find a way to respond and avoid repeating the mistakes of history?
