My art in 2023 (12/12)
December: The Zanclean Flood. 6 million years ago, the movement of the continents cut the Mediterranean off from the oceans. Since more water evaporates from the Mediterranean than it receives from rivers, this resulted in the sea drying up and becoming an incredibly deep, dry, salty lowland. Until 5.3 million years ago, when the Strait of Gibraltar formed and the entire sea was refilled in a massive flood.

A day after an earthquake caused a landslide that allowed the ocean to start flooding into the great dry abyss to the east,the water's power violently widens the gap and now a thousand Amazons flood into what will soon be the Mediterranean Sea again. The local animals have come to a large rock that will one day be named Gibraltar for safety and a view. Except the #Pelagornis, they're more interested in the fish falling down.
