Chapter 463 The common myths and legends of mankind
Just like what Ye Zhen said.
Different parts of the world have different civilizations and customs.
But there is one strange thing in common.
Almost everyone’s myths and legends contain records of the Great Flood.
“The most familiar one to everyone is probably the story of Noah’s Ark in the Bible.
We already learned this when we were in the second grade of elementary school.
There is also the story of Dayu’s flood control that I remember from my primary school textbook.
These two are probably the most common and familiar flood myths.
In recent years, countless experts who study human myths and legends have discovered.
Similar legends of the Great Flood are spread in different parts of the world.
How do current mainstream anthropologists explain it?
They believe that most human civilizations originated in places that relied on water sources.
Just like the four major ancient civilizations, they developed on their mother river.
In ancient times, this river would inevitably flood.
It will cause floods, so mainstream science believes that.
Why do human myths and legends around the world contain similar myths about the Great Flood?
The reason is here. ”
Because human life must choose a place close to water sources.
This is the nature of living things, if they do not rely on water sources.
Every day humans need a lot of water for living.
If these daily necessities take a lot of time to obtain.
That doesn't leave much time to develop anything else.
It is not accidental that these ancient civilizations originated next to rivers.
Therefore, there is a great flood in the myths and legends of various human civilizations.
It's a very reasonable thing.
Some viewers heard this explanation and thought it made sense.
"This seems to make sense."
"The birth and development of civilization all depend on fresh water, so is it related to the flood?"
"I feel like it's a bit nonsense."
"This seems to be just the mainstream view now, right?"
In fact, in the eyes of anthropologists, the answer is this.
This fits well with the evidence now available.
But some historians have said so.
"But the origins of some local civilizations are not close to rivers."
"Even some of these civilizations live in high mountains, but they also have legends of great floods."
"How to explain this?"
Yes, the loopholes in this statement are very big.
At first glance, it sounds very scientific and reasonable.
But if you understand myths and legends around the world, you will know.
In some flood myths, some peoples did not live in areas where rivers flooded.
Ye Zhen smiled, "I believe you have heard of this so-called scientific statement.
However, this statement is obviously untenable.
Because some peoples also have flood myths in their myths and legends.
Just like in the myths and legends of the Yi people in southern Yunnan, my country.
There are also myths about the Great Flood.
But there are no traces of flooding here in southern Yunnan.
In fact, in the myths that everyone usually reads.
Many of them are just myths and legends among the Han people in our country.
In fact, our country’s mythological system is very complex and numerous.
The myths and legends in many places are no simpler than the Han myths and legends we know now.
Just like the myths of the ancient Yi people, the myths of the Baiyue area, the myths of the Miao people, the myths of the Tibetan people, etc.
There are also the most special myths and legends of the ancient Qiang people.
Foreign ones include Mayan mythology, Aztec mythology, etc.
Some of their local myths and legends all mention the myth of the great flood.
But in the places where these ancestors lived, the rivers had never flooded.
Why do they also have such mythical records of the great flood?
Rather, it is a kind of collective memory belonging to human beings, that is, the collective subconscious.
This is a memory buried deep in the human subconscious.
But there is another explanation, that is, there really was a great flood that swept the world.
The entire planet was immediately submerged.
However, even the modern mainstream accounts have different views on this great flood.
Some archaeologists and historians now insist that the Flood did not exist.
Because there is no archaeological evidence for this, and their archeology is all about evidence.
The other is if this great flood recorded by mankind around the world really exists.
It shows that those myths may not be myths, but history.
But geologically speaking, this great flood must have existed.
Because traces of great floods can now be seen in many natural environments.
The traces of water erosion, the evidence left by the great flood. ”
After hearing this, audiences at home and abroad realized that there was such a discussion?
"I didn't expect this to be the case in academia."
"Obviously no previous archaeologists wanted to admit that the flood existed."
"Because there are no unearthed cultural relics and evidence."
"That's right, if the Great Flood is true, then myths and legends are history."
This is what the audience thinks.
In fact, in academia, there are very different schools and opinions.
Everyone will support different schools of thought based on their own ideals and perceptions. There is no claim that any school of thought is absolutely correct.
Even if they are as powerful as Newton and Einstein, they still have limitations.
Newton supported the particle theory of light at that time. He believed that light is tiny particles.
One is from the particle theory school, and the other school is from the light wave school.
One thinks that light is a wave, the other thinks that light is a particle.
The physicists 1 didn’t know how long they had been arguing.
But we now know that light has wave-particle duality.
Archaeologists and historians at home and abroad are also watching Ye Zhen’s program.
In order to be able to understand this information as soon as possible.
They are professors and academicians at home and abroad.
He directly delegated watching Ye Zhen's program to his students as a task.
They must watch Ye Zhen's show.
After all, the content in Ye Zhen's program is now the most advanced and first-rate.
As those who work in this industry, they must know the latest and most cutting-edge news.
A foreign history professor watched Ye Zhen's program.
"Look at others, who are younger than you, look at other people's achievements."
"If you can learn one-tenth of what Mr. Ye Zhen is like, I will thank God."
An American academician in anthropology who was watching Ye Zhen’s program in another class, after learning about Ye Zhen’s program.
But all of Ye Zhen’s previous programs have been completed.
"Ye Zhen can be said to be a natural researcher."
"Watch it carefully, there may be content in it that inspires you."
"This is about your graduation."
Why don't some archaeologists admit the Flood?
Because everything must rely on evidence.
"Unless you dig out Noah's Ark, I believe this flood is real."
"That's right, you don't even have cultural relics, why do you expect me to believe that this great flood existed."
"You mean the records in ancient books? It might just be the imagination of the ancients."
Just like in the mainstream world before Ye Zhen.
They all think that myths and legends are just fictions and fantasies of the ancients.
There's no way it's true.
This has nothing to do with some scientific circles.
Because no matter how strong you are as an astronomer or physicist.
There is no way to prove what happened before.
These scientists recalled what Ye Zhen mentioned in previous programs.
"Marks of water erosion on the body of the Sphinx."
"The great flood recorded by the Sumerian kings."
"What else is Atlantis, the continent of Mu."
"I remember there was the Tower of Babel and the space elevator."
These were all when Ye Zhen was talking about these contents.
All mentioned the great flood.
If what Ye Zhen mentioned in the previous program, they all admitted that it was true.
That shows that this great flood is very likely to be real.
Some geologists can confirm that this great flood actually occurred.
"There is no doubt that geographically speaking, there has indeed been a major flood event on this planet."
"Yes, just like the Carnian flood event."
"That was a huge flood that lasted for 200 years!"
Although this geographer can confirm that this great flood existed.
But there is another contradiction here.
Even when the great flood occurred, this human race did not exist at all!
Because this Carnian flood event occurred more than 200 million years ago.
Not to mention humans at that time, even the ancestors of humans, mammals, did not exist.
It was also after the end of this Carnian flood event.
Only then were dinosaurs born, the Blue Star overlords who once flourished on this planet.
And this rain that has fallen for two million years is a well-documented mass extinction event.
Therefore, it is impossible for humans to exist at this time.
According to the current mainstream view, there is no civilization at all.
How could there be any myths and legends left behind?
So even if this geographer admits the existence of this great flood.
There is no way to prove that this great flood was the greatest flood ever encountered by mankind.
Here, some theologians very much hope that the Great Flood will exist.
Just like some foreign theologians today.
Especially the Pope in the Vatican, he is also summoning his cardinals and various clergy to watch Ye Zhen's show.
"Now this leaf is really recognized as a genius."
"If he proves that the Flood existed."
"This is very beneficial to our Christian religion."
Pope Francis looked at Ye Zhen in the projection.
Because the story of Noah’s Ark is recorded in their Bible.
They have always wanted to prove that God exists.
What is recorded in the Bible is myth to us.
But for their clergy, they believe what is recorded here.
All of them have actually happened.
In the Western world, many Westerners are followers of Christianity.
After all, Christianity is now the largest religion in the world.
