Consider as well a few other places in scripture.
>Genesis 41:57
And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
>Exodus 10:15
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
>Deuteronomy 9:1
Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
Were the cities in Canaan fenced up higher than anything else on the planet? Think about this for a moment. Maybe this is supposed to be true in the sense of being the tallest thing in sight, the tallest relative to where you are standing. In absolute terms even, this would be accurate as well, because extremely far-off mountains might be over the horizon and therefore not as high relative to your absolute position. Things we can know from the literal interpretation is that Noah's flood was of a magnitude never seen since, and it wiped out all descendants of Adam that were still alive, save eight souls, and of all living substance beneath it. Sorry flood geologists.
