I always think of Antediluvian as pertaining to the global flood of Noah's time. Not some sarcasm about how out-of-date something is. By the way, archeologists have found sea shells and other marine fossils on mountains over the decades. So the earth was covered with water.

I immediately thought of the song "Atlantis" by Donovan. He references "antediluvian kings".

My wife would say I'm Antediluvian. Just got my 1st cellphone a few weeks ago. I still go to a video store, "and dragged her to see The Irishman, all 4.5hrs, in a movie theater because it never occurred to me to stream it.

there is definite evidence of The Flood ,and Creation everywhere, but I may never learn to look at the picture for a clue to give the response that this game considers correct.
