Yeah but what do they know, few of them can put themselves in other peoples shoes. It's all primitive to them, ask the Yanomami :? . People like Mircea Eliade are better to ask imho.

True that, the cultures that perfected this method of transmission of information never developed writing, and why would they.

I def. agree with your line of thinking that this is something in the collective psyche because of cataclysms. But there is a deeper reasoning why the dichotomy of the winged serpent & sun/lion gods is present in all old religions. I recommend looking a bit into gnosticism, especially the myth of Sophia in that context. gnosis.org is your friend.

Yeah this thread is far off topic, but I'm more to blame than you. Appreciated your input.
