That's just being obtuse.

My original post was being tongue-in-cheek. We know that the earth has cool periods and warm periods. After cool periods, new seas and landscapes form as previously dry lands flood from glacial melt and sea level rise, and some of the seas and landscapes are formed very quickly in cataclysmic events.

Bonneville Flood
Black Sea Deluge Hypothesis
Altai Flood

If an oral tradition is estimated to be from Central Asia 8,000 years ago, and we believe the Black Sea had a cataclysmic flood around that time, then it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to draw a hypothetical line between the two.
