when glaciers melted the rise came over the lip at what is now the straight of Gibraltar for 1500 years until the land became the Mediterranean sea.

The same thing happened in the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, the Baltic, the Black Sea, South China Sea, etc. Pretty much every modern “sea” that is surrounded by islands today was dry land during the ice age, and was inundated RAPIDLY. The Persian Gulf likely formed in weeks not centuries.

Civilization didn’t start in Sumer, but evacuated there from the lands submerged beneath the Gulf. I wager there are dozens of undiscovered civilizations buried beneath the waves.
