Archaeological Evidence for the Flood
(http://miraclesofthequran.com/images_miracles_of_the_quran/mezopotamya.jpg)
According to the archaeological findings, Nuh’s Flood took place on the Mesopotamian Plain, the shape of which was very different to that of today. The present-day limits of the plain are shown with a dotted red line in the above diagram. The wide region beyond that line is known to have been part of the sea at that time.
If you've heard about Gilgamesh before, well, remember, scripture was sent throughout the world before the Qur'an!
Microscopic analysis revealed that this great clay deposit beneath the hill at Ur had accumulated here as a result of a flood, one so large and powerful as to annihilate ancient Sumerian civilisation. The epic of Gilgamesh and the story of Nuh were united in this shaft dug deep under the Mesopotamian desert.
We see almost the same record of Noah's flood in Mesopotamian flood stories, the Puranas, Deucalion in Greek mythology, the Genesis flood narrative, and in the lore of the K'iche' and Maya peoples of Central America, and the Muisca people in South America.
This is probably the city Noah (PBUH) was sent to, since they were moon worshipers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur
