Reddit reviews The Great Flood: A Handbook of World Flood Myths

I completely agree. It would rewrite our entire history of the human race. I grew up being taught that everything really kicked off for humanity with the discovery of agriculture in the fertile crescent.

After reading Grahams books and then countless hours of independent research, what I find most fascinating is the massive correlation between flood mythology.

I found this book about flood myths in a used bookstore a while back, and it is fascinating how prevalent flood mythology is all over the world.

If Graham was correct about the sudden and unexpected world wide flood, it would certainly account for all these myths. I also love to read how these myths speak of how they tried to survive the flood.

Many cultures speak of going to much higher ground to wait it out, while others ran to cave systems or "into the earth".

Another factor to the flood mythology lining up with Graham Hancocks research is the matter of the massive smoke plume created by a meteor breaking up across a massive ice sheet. These myths describe the blocking out of the sun, which in itself would be more than enough to really fuck up any well off civilization.

I've got a lot of ideas to discuss and bounce off people, which is why I'm so happy that other people are willing to discuss it here. I find that when I try to discuss this with someone not already exposed to these theories is very difficult as it really forces someone to completely reconsider everything they've been taught about the history of humanity.
