I think it covered the whole world. Every ancient culture has a global flood myth, if it didn't happen how did they ( people that didn't know each other) all come up with the same story.

"At the tops of the highest peaks, like that of Mount Everest, it is possible to find 400-million-year-old fossils of sea creatures and shells that were deposited at the bottom of shallow tropical seas. Now the fossils are exposed at the roof of the world, over 25,000 feet above sea level."

Geology of Mt Everest

They say the fossils are 400 million years old and they say the peak was under the ocean floor. I disagree. Radiometric dating isn't very accurate. Flood.

I believe over 90 % maybe even more of fossile where created by the flood, and the fossil es actually prove the major catastrophic power of the flood, when the fountains of the great deep burst open

what, you think they had designated leaks?.....no plastic or metal tanks or glass bottles.....maybe wooden buckets? for all sorts of things.....what a challenge! not like you could step outside for a pee. :)

Waste- poo
How much Waste?
Estimate- 10-12 tons daily...
Stink- animal poo not that stinky.
Stink- human poo- can be horrid.

Theory- slatted sub floor for waste to naturally be expelled, contained.
A large collection of beetles/ insects/ worms to digest waste. Yum!

Abundance of beetles/ worms food, for some animals. Recycling!

Fresh Water-
Theory- huge containers front and back (balance) of Ark. Likely filled with rain water.
System of spigots, troughs, bamboo "pipes", arranged to carry water to rooms/stalls/ human and animal spaces.

True. But the term "Fossil Fuels" is bogus. There is oil under the earth's surface that is a part of the earth (just like there is water under the earth's surface), not fossils somehow generating megatons of oil.

They call it fossil fuel because oil is the remnants of ancient living things which were buried and in the process of decomposition turned to oil

Did a lengthy study a long time ago.

Tidbit- "gopher wood", is not a type of wood, but rather a technique, of using narrower strips of wood, rather than wide planks.
The narrow strips are easier to form from an engineering perspective, then in and out all covered with "pitch", aka a tar LIKE substance to seal.

A good points.

There are Under the Earth's Surface, huge caverns as well as huge oceans, estimated greater capacities than our present visible oceans.

The rain began the flood, for 7 days.
The Ocean Water from under the Earth rose up..."fountains of the great deep".

At the end of the flood...drying of the land;
Great winds blew, the water assuaged, swept of sorts, back into the Underground oceans, with oceans remaining surrounding portions of land...thus the water was called abated, and dry land again seen.

Underground caves, tunnels, cities have been discovered for years.
Less than 10 years ago scientists discovered an underground ocean, 200-400 miles below the Earth's surface.

Fossils, agree, NOT limited to ocean floor, can be anywhere.

Agree oil is in the Earth, some sandwiched in flinty rocks...so am leaning, natural oil, flakey, flinty rocks and decomposing fossils all play an intricate part in oil and Earth minerals and gems also.

Yes, water "oceans", below the Earth's surface. A great "gulf", (barrier) in Hell.

When a carcass decomposes it does not turn into oil. And that's the problem. That really should be called "God's Fuel".
