I want to point out that a big part of ancient Chinese mythology was also a Great Flood, but the cause usually was not said to be supernatural. And the mythical Emperor Yu built dams to stop the floods, founding the Xia dynasty. This mythos is seen as a testament to civilization conquering and regulating nature.

"Everything that has a beginning has an end" The Oracle said. And one day, maybe not in our lifetime or our children's or our grandchildren's lifetime, the world or at least society as we know it will end. Something new will arise from that, but not knowing what happens next is an unconfortable feeling for people to have.

Norway's a fun study in this sort of subject: Our kings were for the most part seen as responsible for disasters *before* the Christening. In Ynglingasaga there's a king called Dómaldi who was sacrificed by bloð* due to bad crops. This was regarded as an ultimate sacrifice, as they had tried sacrificing several other animals before then. Worth remarking is how everything went back to normal in the following crop cycle. *(we presume bloð means to cut their throat on a sacrificial stone and bleed them, and then do rituals with that blood)

@Brotherhood039 3 года назад

What an amazing video. It’s easy to see how much effort, thought and research you've put into it. I feel bad watching this for free but unfortunately I don’t have the means to support the content right now. I hope one day I can because this type work definitely needs to be shown to everybody. Content not based on fake news, conspiracy theories or something that your grandmother told you, but based on facts, research and analysis.
