Then why do the documented major floods along the Columbia River and in the
Altai mountains say that your reasoning is wrong?
The gravel left by those floods was located only along the channels of
massively energetic flows. Most of mesopotamia probably had very low energy water
slowly expanding out from the rivers. The gravel in the case of Noah's flood
would have been in upper mesopotamia **in** the river beds. I'll bet there
really is such material found there.
Perhaps no gravel would have made it to middle mesopotamia because the waters
would have spread out wider than the banks and so the flow in the rivers
would have been much slower there. That is what I'm imaging, anyway. You are
imagining a much more energetic flood than I am, and imagining the tremendous
water velocity was sustained to a width of greater than 100 km.
