[[User:Victor_Porton|Victor Porton]]'s idea that the flood may happen only in Eurasia seems to be disproved by this verse saying "under the entire heaven".
 
Does "15 cubuts" mean 15 cubits above the highest mountain (Everest)? If it is 15 cubits upward of the base level, Everest would not be covered. However mountains may be less high before the Flood.
 
How does Moses know the exact number 15 cubits? (It could be told by God to Moses implicitly, but I suspect there may be another source of knowledge.)
