At the time of the Flood they called this vast deep underground ocean Abzu

and Genesis indicates it was this that flooded the earth and Enoch foretold it would first fill a basin of a circle of mountains around Sumer and then breach the mountains - so the world might have been devastated then by an unsupassed tidal wave killing animals everywhere and humans along with them - according to Enoch's foretelling of it it would have happened around 2650 BC which agrees with the flood deposits and archaeological layers of Tell Fara - Shuruppak, capital of Sumer at the time, and agrees with Sumerian King Lists which say Kish became capital city of Sumer after it. The flood layer in Tell Fara doesn't prove anything about how widespread it was because only mud built over is preserved.
