When the age of Leo ended about 12,000 years and the era of Cancer began, and the era of Cancer bought the big flood that covered many regions in the planet with big rains and also the end of the glaciation.
This is the biblical genealogy according to the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible, which outlines the descendants of Noah's three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth after the Flood.
And in all these countries there were made images of stone and copper, and engravings thereon of the children of Noe, and of the flood, and of the sacred tribes, Shem, Ham and Jaffeth.
[1] Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.[2] The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.[3] And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.[4] And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.[5] By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.[6] And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.[7] And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.[8] And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.[9] He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.[10] And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.[11] Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,[12] And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.[13] And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,[14] And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.[15] And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,[16] And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,[17] And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,[18] And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.[19] And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.[20] These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.[21] Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.[22] The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.[23] And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.[24] And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.[25] And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.[26] And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah,[27] And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,[28] And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,[29] And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.[30] And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.[31] These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.[32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
In Genesis 9:1, after the flood, God tells Noah and his sons: "Multiply and replenish the earth." "Replenish" implies doing it again, suggesting a prior civilization destroyed by the flood.
[8] And Elohim spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,[9] And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;[10] And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.[11] And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.[12] And Elohim said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:[13] I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.[14] And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:[15] And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.[16] And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between Elohim and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.[17] And Elohim said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.[18] And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.[19] These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
[28] And Noah lived after the flood 350 years.[29] And all the days of Noah were 955 years: and he died.
The passage's abrupt shift from the flood narrative to Noah's vineyard and subsequent events has led scholars to scrutinize its origins and purpose.
The flood account exhibits a structured, repetitive style characteristic of the Priestly source (P), focusing on genealogies and covenants.
The narrative's implication that Noah planted a vineyard and became intoxicated shortly after the flood raises chronological concerns.
Genesis 9:20–27 does not explicitly anchor the vineyard event to a post-flood timeline except for the introductory phrase, "Noah began to be a man of the soil." This could be read more loosely as a character statement rather than a sequence marker.
Noah drinks, lies uncovered (symbol of ego stripped), and enters a trance-like state in which he sees through time—both backward (origin) and forward (flood, curse).
The ancient Egyptians were keen observers of the night sky and developed an extensive knowledge of astronomy and astrology, which they used to create a calendar, predict the flood of the Nile, and guide their religious practices.
While not all scholars accept this view, textual inconsistencies support the idea of editorial layering in the flood account.
We now learn that the Flood was sent as a punishment of the Adamites; and if they were all destroyed except Noah and his family, the populations of preadamites remained dispersed widely over northern and estern Asia.
Noah is a Semitic derivative of the much earlier Sumerian name “Utnapishtim” and the Akkadian “Ziusudra.” The writings of these civilizations all portray a Noah-like character who is warned of the flood by the god Enki.
The Genesis story of the flood is a condensation of much earlier and much more detailed pre-Biblical accounts in Sumerian and Akkadian literature.
And when the earth was six hundred years in Noe (the flood of waters was come upon the earth.
The Genesis flood narrative was linked to the Armenian myth of origin by the early medieval historian Movses Khorenatsi.
[5] And Noah did according unto all that Uriel commanded him.[6] And Noah was 600 years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
“And when the earth was six hundred years in Noe, the flood of waters was come upon the earth.”Book of Wars Against Jehovih (~22,552 BCE)
[7] And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
[8] Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,[9] There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as Uriel had commanded Noah.[10] And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.[11] In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month (77 days?), the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the the windows of heaven portals?
Cayce explicitly links this kind of degeneracy to the Noah/flood period.
[15] And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.[16] And they that went in, went in male and female of all pure flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.[17] And the flood was 40 days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.[18] And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
The flood corresponded to the second destruction of Atlantis.
P has a theological agenda: it wants to present the flood as a complete reset — a total judgment on a corrupt world, followed by a new creation with Noah as the new Adam figure.
The flood wiped out not just “wicked people,” but the results of the spiritual and genetic experimentation that had gone too far.
The faithful (I’hins / Faithists / the spiritual seed) are preserved through ships during the great flood/deluge.
Both Cayce and OAHSPE read the flood as a selective cleansing of corrupted lines rather than total planetary extinction of all humans.
The flood directly addresses the consequences of the mixing and experimentation described in chapter 6.
The flood/cataclysm removed much of that corrupted creation.
For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.”
They were eating and drinking, and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.”
The Flood may have been limited to the habitable world, which Poole considers sufficient for the Flood’s intended purposes.
Cultural memory in India and China supports a tradition of a great flood and a sole surviving family (Puoncuus and family), implying a flood with a strong regional impact.
Ark’s necessity: If the Flood were local, Noah could simply have moved away; building the Ark would have been unnecessary.
Cultural traditions: Many nations preserve flood legends, which he interpreted as proof that the Flood was remembered worldwide.
“Peradventure this flood might not be simply universal over the whole earth, but only over all the habitable world, where either men or beasts lived; which was as much as either the meritorious cause of the flood, men’s sins, or the end of it, the destruction of all men and beasts, required.
… The memory of this general flood is preserved to this day among the poor ignorant Indians, … And the Chinese writers relate, that but one person, whom they call Puoncuus, with his family, were saved in the flood, and all the rest perished.”
Genesis 6:4 records the Nephilim before the flood, while Numbers 13:33 describes them after the flood.
Since Genesis does not record where these women came from, some interpreters argue that not all wives were originally aboard the Ark, and that intermarriage after the flood might have involved survivors from outside Noah’s household.
This verse refers to the spies sent into Canaan, who report encountering descendants of the Nephilim, giants, long after the flood.
Flood could also be the consequence of a magnetic shift.
The god Enlil warned the priest-king Ziusudra (“Long of Life”) of the coming flood by speaking to a wall while Ziusudra listened at the side.
Violent winds came, and a flood of rain covered the earth for seven days and nights.
There were giants before and after a flood
[10] And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.[11] The earth also was corrupt before God the Elohim, and the earth was filled with violence.[12] And God the Elohim looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.[13] And God the Elohim said unto Noah, The end of all flesh altered life is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.[14] Make thee you an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.[15] And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits 135 meters, the breadth of it fifty cubits 22.5 meters, and the height of it thirty cubits 13.5 meters.[16] A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.[17] And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh altered life, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing altered thing that is in the earth shall die.[18] But with thee you will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy your sons, and thy your wife, and thy your sons' wives with thee you.[19] And of every living thing of all original flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee you; they shall be male and female.[20] Of fowls after their kind original fowls, and of cattle after their kind original cattle, of every original creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.[21] And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.[22] Thus did Noah; according to all that God the Elohim commanded him, so did he.
This genealogy in Genesis 5 directly precedes Genesis 6, which describes increasing human population and wickedness, leading to God's decision to send the flood.
Genesis 7 - Noah and the Flood
These constructs suggest the ages convey theological truths, such as divine order, generational symmetry (10 patriarchs pre-Flood, mirroring 10 post-Flood), and harmony, rather than biological facts.
The Atrahasis Epic is another ancient Mesopotamian text, dating back to around 1700 BCE, which tells a similar story of a great flood.
Eventually, Enlil decides to unleash a devastating flood to annihilate humanity.
The Atrahasis Epic is considered one of the earliest known accounts of a great flood and shares similarities with other flood myths, including the biblical story of Noah.
The Sumerian Flood Story (known as the ‘Eridu Genesis’) which tells the same story, is certainly older (composed c.
2300 BCE) and Tablet XI of The Epic of Gilgamesh, which also relates the tale of the Great Flood, is even older than that.

Carlson highlights how cultures worldwide, from ancient Peruvians to Egyptians and Mexicans, synchronized their calendars with the Pleiades’ rising, associating this time with flood and fire myths.
Stories of the Great Flood are also known in other parts of the world, like North America and Australia.
It's not unimaginable that there was a period during the younger dryas with many great floods.
In the Bible, specifically in the book of Genesis, there is a reference to a decrease in lifespan after the Great Flood.
Genesis 7 – The flood
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
Across Mesopotamia and the Bible, three named flood survivors keep the same deep pattern: a warning, a boat, the seed of life, landing, and a gift or covenant after the waters fall.
They are one flood-survivor map told under Sumerian, Akkadian, and Hebrew names, with a later Greek Babylonian form of Ziusudra surviving as Xisuthrus in Berossus.
I read that map as memory of real deep-time upheaval, open to paleo-contact and worldwide flood trails.
Ziusudra (also Zi-ud-sura) is the Sumerian flood survivor.
On the Sumerian King List he is the last king of Shuruppak before the flood.
Utnapishtim (Ut-napishtim) is the Akkadian / Babylonian flood survivor in Epic of Gilgamesh Tablet XI.
In the related Akkadian stream he sits beside Atrahasis (Atra-hasīs, “exceedingly wise”), another flood hero of the same complex.
Noah is the Hebrew Bible flood survivor in Genesis 6-9.
The Eridu Genesis is the surviving Sumerian flood story that modern scholars name for its Eridu / creation-to-flood spine.
What remains still carries Ziusudra’s warning, the seven-day flood, the opening of the boat to the sun, sacrifice, and eternal life in Dilmun.
All the evil winds, all stormy winds gathered into one and with them, the Flood was sweeping over the cities of the half-bushel baskets, for seven days and seven nights.
After the flood had swept over the country, after the evil wind had tossed the big boat about on the great waters, the sun came out spreading light over heaven and earth.
Meaning: Ziusudra is the oldest named Mesopotamian flood king in this trail.
Utnapishtim tells the flood in the first person.
The Great Gods decide on a Flood.
Six days and seven nights came the wind and flood, the storm flattening the land.
Atrahasis sits in the same Akkadian flood complex.
Meaning: Utnapishtim is the Akkadian flood survivor with the full bird sequence.
Genesis 6-9 tells Noah’s flood in the Hebrew Bible.
Then comes sacrifice and covenant: never again destroy all flesh by flood (Genesis 9).
Paleo-contact and deep-time flood readings sit welcome beside the text: a survivor line, a craft, a bird test, and a post-flood settlement of seed.
Storm or flood duration (seven-day Mesopotamian storm; forty-day Genesis rain tradition)
His flood hero is Xisuthrus, the Greek form of Ziusudra.
Cronus appeared to Xisuthrus in a dream and revealed that on the fifteenth of the month Daisios mankind would be destroyed by a great flood.
After the flood, the bird test:
After the waters of the Great Flood had come and quickly left, Xisuthrus freed several birds.
Indigenous American flood trails sit here as labeled comparative neighbors, not as proof that every tribe tells Gilgamesh.
A boat rides out the flood and lands on Santa Rosa.
Sin and upheaval drive the flood memory.
I use these as worldwide flood-survivor neighbors.
That can sit beside flood memory as supporting deep-time upheaval.
Sister geology on this site is the Altai flood: a physical megaflood trail with field landforms.
The three-name map gives me Mesopotamia-to-Bible flood-survivor continuity: Ziusudra, Utnapishtim, Noah, with Berossus holding Ziusudra as Xisuthrus.
The Altai flood is the physical megaflood sister.
The Nephilim hold the antediluvian and post-flood hybrid layer beside Genesis.
Worldwide flood survivors read, for me, as memory of real deep-time upheaval.
Atlantis sits as a later continental flood layer only when that trail is already in view; this page’s spine is the three named survivors.
They are three flood survivors in one comparative tradition: Sumerian Ziusudra (Eridu Genesis), Akkadian Utnapishtim (Gilgamesh XI / Atrahasis neighborhood), and biblical Noah (Genesis 6-9).

According to some theories, Nibiru is a hypothetical planet that orbits the sun on an elongated orbit and passes near the earth every few thousand years, causing cataclysmic events such as floods and earthquakes.
According to the myth, Tezcatlipoca grew angry with the people of earth and decided to destroy the planet with a great flood.
This makes me think of the following, did 2 planets in our solar system crash and caused a great rain of asteroids on earth, causing the great flood?
