How do you know when this flood was? It may have been tens of millennia before the cultures the artist cited. The Chinese didn't even record Marco Polo's visit during the Mongol period, and as for Peruvian records, what records? What survives? Facts become distorted in the retelling and then pass into myth, but often there's a grain of truth for the original pearl of human memory to form around. Look how short a time it's taken for the beloved humanist myth of Galileo and his telescope to solidify into what everyone thinks they know. Not saying I subscribe to Noah's Ark as an exact recounting but I don't join the other side that wants to say it has zero relevance as an echo of some event in primordial human memory. You really should spend less time making fun of things and people, Sven, and spend more on being productive.
