>> The Mediterranean was a salt basin, well below sea level...

I heard something about that during a program on search for Atlantis...and this was my point to Hawk; he seemed to suggest that sea levels everywhere have risen, hence my questions on supporting evidence along all coasts.

>> Oddly enough the drying of the Mediterranean is thought to have caused global cooling due to affecting ocean salinity

This does not make sense to me. How could cutting off any body of water from a much larger one cause such a change? Even if you distilled the entire water of the Mediterranean and added it to the oceans, I don't think you could make much of a difference to the global salinity levels...or else all the melting glaciers would have already taken care of the problems.
