Comment on The Ljungavik Dog: A Mesolithic dog burial
Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 week agoI strongly believe that it happened. It doesn’t need to be a “flood of biblical dimensions” but just one terrible enough to convince a few early tribes that it was the end of the world as we know it.
That’s mankind lore

I feel like the myth existing in cultures around the world from Mesopotamia to the Americas gives its more credence. It makes sense that a world-changing event would work its way into various disparate cultures.

Or it’s because people all around the world always lived next to water and encountered fluds.

Absolutely, water being such a vital part of life pretty much ensures it’ll be referenced. Kind of the same thing as various sun gods in cultures around the world.
