Wu (Reports, 5 August 2016, p. 579) reported an enormous flood in the upper Yellow River that destroyed the Lajia Ruins. However, published research shows that the Ruins were destroyed at 3950 years before the present (B.P.) by earthquakes accompanied with mudflows, whereas the landslide-dammed lake terminated about 5650 years B.P. Various kinds of sediments with different ages were taken as evidence to verify an outburst flood.
吴(报道,2016 年 8 月 5 日,第 579 页)报道了黄河上游发生的特大洪水,洪水摧毁了拉加遗址。然而,已发表的研究表明,该遗址是在距今 3950 年前(公元前)被地震和泥石流破坏的,而滑坡堰塞湖则在大约公元前 5650 年结束。各种不同年代的沉积物被用作证据来验证这次突发洪水。
