"Mighty Clovis, Mighty Clovis, How Sweet Thy Name"

The ancient mythology of our various cultures is often steeped in reality. The tales that were told, generation by generation, since the beginning of mankind, often lead to a greater truth. In researching mythology I often find myself drawn back to the Hopi mythology. In a sense, it contains many of the same stories which so many mythologies do: creation, decimation, wars, a great flood, and the numerous ages of man.
Good article on Hopi myth. PLease excuse the source.

creation, decimation, wars, a great flood, and the numerous ages of man
I wonder what the odds are that disparate cultures at remote distances could come up with similar tales without there being some sort of model.

I wonder what the chances are of only one culture in the world having a creation myth, suffering loss of population, wars, and floods, and having its people go from babyhood to old age.

I'll agree H erectus and neandertal started that culture.

_All_ the evidence seems to support that idea.

What fun!
Cognito, you mentioned that your pictures have been fuzzy lately...
maybe you need a macro lens or a telephoto to get up close and personal with those artifacts.
