There is a similar theory about the Black Sea: the Black Sea deluge hypothesis [1].
From Wikipedia:
The Black Sea deluge is a hypothesized catastrophic rise in the level of the Black Sea circa 5600 BC from waters from the Mediterranean Sea breaching a sill in the Bosphorus strait.
(This one, if true, is pretty interesting because it occurred within fairly recent human history.)
