... whose `historical' information was largely dependent on traditional lore) seem to assume that the Mediterranean was only formed within human memory, so to speak, while the Ocean had existed longer than even the gods knew. A very significant reference occurs in the passage (23b) where the Egyptian priest asserts that though the Greeks remembered only one deluge `there were many before that'. The only logical explanation of this assertion is that the traditional lore of the Greek world was concerned with experiences which befell the forefathers of the Greeks, whereas the temple archives of Sais were in the nature of international mythological records (23a), which contained also traditions of what happened to other ...

' Gravity flow' is implied, whether a high cresting river is over-flowing a town's streets or waters from all Sides are rushing down into a huge basin from which the Moon has been wrenched to form an ocean.

I assumed that the ...

... ) above,) The seven ages to which V refers here appear to relate to the rather fanciful X. Again, not quite what V has in mind. On WIC p.46 V refers to Warren B.1- 2, again for the three types of destruction. He then writes: "After the catastrophe of the deluge, when now a long period has elapsed from the cessation of the rains, a second sun appeared. In the interim the world was enveloped in gloom. When this second sun appears, there is no distinction of day and night, but an incessant heat beats upon the world." V's reference to "the deluge" ( ...

... surge towards the poles. So much the more reason, then, to pronounce the one staunch keel which remained out of the whole fleet as specially protected by the deity to whom her master prayed; and to regard those more fortunate in their choice of a hill as having been led thither by the guiding hand of a god. The deluge tales are the reports of the survivors of the Great Flood caused by the breakdown of the Tertiary satellite, handed down through the ages as holy lore.

... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 12 Myths of the Great Flood There are more than five hundred deluge myths, told by about two hundred and fifty different peoples or tribe's.

But the mythological deductions from Hoerbiger's Cosmological Theory reveal the deluge myths in a different light. The deluge myths have not a common source, but ...

... pallid, and earthly in origin, hence capable safely of dependent status, along with the Earth, under Saturnian rule. Saturn would have ruled therefore either from 11 500 (or from about 8 000) down to 5 700 years ago. The concluding date of 5 700 BP is related to proto-historical times, the time of the Great Deluge of Noah in the Bible and the First Dynasty of Egypt. The date is likely to be fixed with exactness someday. A Sumerian prism, for instance, names ten kings who ruled before the Flood, and says, "then the Flood swept over the Earth. After the Flood swept over, kingship again descended from Heaven. ...
