Mythology Research

Going Forward I did extensive research on Mythologies that consider with each other some major themes all over the world are these;


Great Flood Myth

What does nearly every culture on Earth have in common? is Floods.
An angry God or gods decides to flood the entire world leaving only a handful of survivors to repopulate the Earth. 

The Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh depicts a meeting between the hero, Gilgamesh, and an immortal wise man by the name of Utnapishtim. Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh of how the gods destroyed the world with a great flood, but he and his family were saved when they were warned of the pending apocalypse by a sympathetic god, who had instructed him to build an ark that would carry him and his family to safety. 

Striking familiar as it is retold in the Hebrew Bible as the story of Noah,

Hindu Mythology as the story of Manu. 

But flood stories are known from many other parts of the world, both in Asia and in North and South America. Have they originated independently in areas where large rivers cause inundations from time to time or are there any kind of connection? The latter alternative can be proved in the ancient Near East, but the other stories show differences too great to make direct borrowing likely.

 So much so that the scientific the consensus is that it is very likely that a catastrophic global event such as a meteor or tsunami caused global sea levels to rise drastically around 5000 B.C.
