"So the dramatic thaw = flood myth? And that legend survived memory transmission down through the ages?"

I know that just about every culture seems to have legends of a huge flood, but I don't know if they're memories of the same flood, or that bad floods are pretty common and these memories/legends are just local events for each culture.

If there was some global event that occurred that was capable of raising temperatures rapidly enough to melt glacial ice around the world and cause catastrophic flooding then surviving the flood would probably have been the least of the survivors' concerns.

Hancock's theory - and he maybe half cocked about it to pun on his name - is that sacred architecture was created where the placement of the buildings in relation to one another align with how the stars were 12,000 years ago as a sort of memory of the ice age flaw global flood.

Over time the religions doing this forgot the details but kept doing this alignment of 'as above so below'. So that is his big contention - again going by memory of what I read years ago.
