What are some myths that are told by many cultures? Not identical but similar ofc
> flood myths
> dragons
> giants
> mermaids or some kind of sea monster with sex appeal
> ancient civilization knowledge
> ...
Anything else?

Also, what does /his/ think are the possible explanations for these myths popping up everywhere?
- flood myths = localized floods?
- giants = extremely nutrient deficient people meeting tall people with ample food supply?
- mermaids = allucination due to dehydration + horny?
- dragon = ??

It's somewhat genetic methinks.

It'd be interesting to see what myths are widespread elsewhere but have only been recently introduced to the more isolated SSA pops.

Interesting idea. Loosely related but cool news, recently some chinese kid proved that butterflies remember things from their larval state

Collective memory of celestial chaos as the Polar System broke apart. Yes, POLAR system, made from Earth, Mars, Venus, and Saturn. This is also responsible for the tales of great chaos monsters, the wrathful goddess, and wars between gods and terrible cosmic dragons.

Check out the Thunderbolts project and the Electric/Plasma Universe.
The history of our world is stranger than you can imagine.
