Basic Mythology
Man has always sought to understand the
world around him better and Myths are the imaginative traditions devised
in order to explain his surroundings.
Early Man would have been completely in awe of the natural and supernatural phenomena around him and probably have sought to make sense of phenomena such as Lightening & Thunder, Rain & Drought, Day & Night, Birth & Death. It was the experience of their mystery, mingled with fear, that gave birth to Mythology and eventually, Religion.

Through Mythology, man sought to
understand his environment, the nature of his world and even the existence of
God but it would be foolhardy to think of these tales merely as a product
of someone's overactive imagination.

Mythologies from different parts of the globe talk about a
deluge (Flood myths). Now the question here is - did all of them see the same
dream??? Or could it logically indicate the extent to which sea-levels rose
globally after the Ice-Age, thereby flooding the homes and memories of the
survivors?
