Yeah i was going to say Atlantis too. Stories about Noahs flood and Atlantis must have come from somewhere. Even Japanese history talks about an underwater city.
The last ice age when there was a land bridge from Indonesia to Tasmaina and also one across the bearing straight between Asia and Europe and Americas.
This ice age ended around 10000 to 11000 years ago which the sea levels would have risen to their current levels give or take 10m or so.
So these stories of instant floods and sunken cities may have happened over many years but got translated to folklore.
Also this may explain where the Jewish people came from. A large migration of people coming from Northern Europe to a warmer equatorial region and over many years.
These people would look different and have totally diferent cultures but eventually settled in the area. Fast forward thousands of years and it might explain a few things about why these people have been persicuted for thousands of years and have been called "a wondering tribe" etc.
The Americas have been populated from Asia over 3 main ice ages.
The first populaion wave about 40000 years ago ended up in South America and are Incas, Astecs, and the current indigenous people that are still there today.
The second wave when Europe and Asia was freezing over came over around 20000 years ago and have settled in North America and are the American indians.
The Last population wave when a not so dramatic ice age came about 10000 are the Eskimo which have still asian similarities.
Then we have Australia and New Guinea which definitely have 3 distinct races of people but with similar DNA but only little pices of written history that we know about. Hopefully we havent fully destroyed the history of the aboriginal people that goes well past 40000 years but we are doing a good job if it and not understanding it.
We will never really know but human DNA is a pretty good indicator.
Anyway im only telling what ive learnt at school so could be wrong but it does make sense.
Cheers
Andy
