    Those dudes survived a volcanic eruption that wiped out half of humanity. I guess they still remember it?

        I strongly believe that it happened. It doesn’t need to be a “flood of biblical dimensions” but just one terrible enough to convince a few early tribes that it was the end of the world as we know it.

        That’s mankind lore

          I feel like the myth existing in cultures around the world from Mesopotamia to the Americas gives it credence. It makes sense that a “world-changing event” would work its way into various disparate cultures myths.

            Or it’s because people all around the world always lived next to water and encountered floods.

              Absolutely, water being such a vital part of life pretty much ensures it’ll be referenced. Kind of the same thing as various sun gods in cultures around the world.
