Gorge, upper Yellow River, China
Early Chinese histories tell of a hero named Yu the Great who founded the Xia Dynasty, the country’s first.

Little sign of these floods had been found until recently, when a team of researchers reported evidence of a massive deluge of the Yellow River around 4,000 years ago.
