(Working through the thread and off the top of my head) Some observations and thoughts:
Atlantis. Why would Solon (Athenian) or the Egyptian priest be using a Cretan script?
The Oera Linda book, while very interesting, is of disputed provenance. 'Altland' = old land and has nothing to do
with Atlantis (the book makes no such claims or inference). If memory serves, it was in the North Sea or possibly
the Baltic. There were elephants and coconuts on Atlantis (according to Plato).
Incidentally, there is a similar English book known variously as The Kolbrin, The Book of Kolbrin and the Kolbrin
Bible, which contains the story (twice) of something called 'the Destroyer' which arrives in the sky and destroys
much of life on Earth.
Aquarius is not a water sign, it is an air sign.
The biblical flood story is a straight lift of the Sumerian story from the Epic of Gilgamesh. Mount Ararat was not
called Ararat in ancient times. Wasn't the OT Ark of equal length and width? In the Phoenician version, they, a
sea-faring people, take the vessel out for sea trials before the flood and it's dimensions are more realistic.
Khem is as far as I know the 'black land'. Egyptian 'Thoth', Greek 'Hermes' and Hebrew 'Cush' have no known
etymological or philological connection.
If you are going to use the OT as a source then I suggest the Septuagint as it is the earliest version or at least
compare various versions. The KJV is probably the worst translation-wise.
Virgin. This is a complicated or complex subject. It can refer to the constellation Virgo and also the universe or
the soul for example. e.g. the virgin mother-goddess (the universe) gives birth but remains in her original
condition - think closed system.
"fountains of the great deep". What would Sumerians/Hebrews know of mid-ocean rift zones? Or if they did know, how would a people living in southern Iraq/Middle East know they had opened? To me 'great deep' would refer to space.
I don't subscribe to Plate Tectonic theory. To me it makes more sense that earthquakes cause the cracks rather than
the cracks causing the quakes. Could someone explain the mechanism for the plates pushing against each other? If the Earth is revolving on its axis at over 1,000 mph then would not centrifugal force pull them apart? (I have a BA in
Politics and Contemporary History which is about as far away as you can get from this subject).
I agree with Moses that the Rockies and Andes are new. I see them as the result of earthquakes. As an analogy think of when you are making the bed and you shake out the sheet and the way it lands. (Unless you are a woman, in which case the sheet lands flat and smooth every time. How do they do that?).
CATASTROPHISM WEAKEST POINTS. On the science side there is a necessity to accept some mainstream science whilst at the same time rejecting some. On the ancient textual side there is the infuriating lack of dates, the sheer volume and diversity of the sources and the dubious translations. I agree with Webolife that catastrophism is a paradigm rather than a theory. It makes me laugh when people call me a 'climate skeptic'. If they knew my views on
catastrophe/ism they would have sleepless nights.
Not sure where you are getting the idea that this was one-off event. The ancient textual evidence points to at least
two. Science points to several. e.g. Middle Bronze-Age collapse and Late Bronze-Age collapse.
The MBA and LBA collapses happened in the eastern Med/ME, China and northern Europe. They may well have affected other regions, e.g. the Americas and Africa but scholars tend to not mention these.
Rather than global flood I tend to think more in terms of global flooding. e.g. There are three separate floods in
Greek myth - of Ogyges, Dardanus and Deucalion. Ogyges was something which happened to Attica; Dardanus lived on Samothrace and ended up in Anatolia, giving his name to Dardania and founding the original city of Troy; Deucalion is Thessaly and is corroborated by modern geology. The plain of Thessaly is a dried up lake bed. Lake was surrounded by moutains, quake split the mountains (Vale of Tempe?), water exited.
With regard to the OT, are you familiar with this guy?
https://www.custance.org/ Never yet come across an ancient text referring to Saturn as the first sun. In fact I rarely come across mentions of
Saturn at all. The main actors appear to be Venus, Mars, Jupiter and the Sun (this one).
El is the Phoenician(?) word for Lord.
My current focus of study in on the LBA collapse in the eastern Med/ME because a) there are more sources and more English translations available and b) it can be tied to actual known historical events if not concrete dates.
