I dunno, I've read a lot of that stuff too but nowadays the sciences
are filling in the gaps. They can explain that big kaboom in Siberia
at the beginning of the century, and they can find the really big
asteroid impact craters (like in the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico).
And the cool one now is that they've finally found evidence that yes,
there WAS a big flood, and it was in the Black Sea, and there were
people living there that had to run like hell ... maybe giving us
myths like Noah's Ark.
Follow the sciences, they're working on it.
If you've got the Flood explained, then you can think about some other
interesting bits ... like how the Indo-Europeans came into Europe and
squeezed out the people that were there before them, like Finno-Ugrians
and Basques. Other folks will tell you is that what also happened is,
they replaced some fairly peace-loving peoples and belief systems with
patriarchical war-loving bullshit. Whose effects we live with to this
day ... ??
