Every ancient culture tells the same history. There was a world before the deluge where the sun shone all the time. There were no seasons and there was no moon. When the moon first arrived in 10,500BC, it cause the Earth to spin on a tiltled axis. This caused the ice in the North American and the South Pacific to melt in a matter of weeks. It also caused something that had not been seen before, weather patterns of rain, snow, wind, and seasons. Within a few generations, man realized that the seasons mattered to their crops. Thus, they started tracking the skies and saw pattern and used huge boulders to create long lasting tracking systems. Whatever set the moon into our orbit 12000 years ago will return to disrupt its orbit. Will we survive?

In the Ermitage Papyrus [Leningrad, 1116b recto] also, reference is made to a catastrophe that turned the ‘land upside down; happens that which never (yet) had happened.’
Great post!
There’s a wide range of different details in the many Flood stories, e.g., some have a Deluge, some don’t. The arrival of the Moon shows up in Greek Attica, but also in the Welsh Mabinogeon, among others. The Earth had tides before that — the Sun produces about 1/3 of the tides, yet another fact that destroys the “Rare Earth” crap — but the Moon was a wanderer, captured by the Earth; even without resort to ancients myths, the geology and fossil evidence shows this is so. This may seem odd to those who know of my deep interest in impact, but that’s how I roll. ;’)
