RE: Art, Politics, and the Creation of the World

What always gets me is that how many cultures have a flood story.

My rational mind tells me that this is just a common experience we all share mixed with our propensity to exaggerate. When a storm hits, it feels as if the entire world is drenched. This would be particularly so in the olden days when they lacked mass communications and weather monitoring systems. As Jung might put it, flood stories are expressions of the collective unconscious.

On the other hand, I love a good yarn. Graham Hancock has written and spoken extensively about flood myths throughout the world. He believes that some cosmic event occurred that caused a catastrophic flood in the ancient past. He's a compelling writer and speaker. If you would like to read more about the flood until your eyes roll to the back of your head, check out the following article:
