headed south to escape the sheets of ice that covered North America. But the ice had
started to melt as a result of similar climate changes mentioned earlier, thus allowing
them to migrate not only south, but also southeast. Current thinking is that this sheet of
ice, glaciers, were completely gone by about 8000 BCE. But where did they go?
While it has been speculated that there was one great world flood which is found in
the lore of Eurasia as well as North, Central, and South America, I think such ideas
rank right up there with the popular Fundamental Christian belief that biblical flood
took place only 4,000 years ago and that our world is only 5,000 years old. Perhaps this
is wild speculation on my part, but I think the result of great volumes of melting ice just
might be great volumes of water. Again, perhaps this is wild speculation on my part, but
I think that perhaps the Great Flood recorded in Eurasian lore was experienced by
people who lived in Eurasia and that the Great Flood recorded in North, Central, and
South America lore was experienced by people who lived in North, Central, and South
America. After all, during the time of the first Great Flood (about 48,000 BCE), human-
ity had not yet entered North America.
North America—The Arapaho creator, Neshanu, is recorded as being re-
sponsible for the second Great Flood.
North America—The Pawnee creator Atius Tirawa/Tirawa, is recorded as
being responsible for the second Great Flood.
Central America—The Mayan god Hurakan is recorded as having released the
flood to punish the first of humanity who had dishonored and angered the gods.
South America—The Brazilian god Anatiwa is recorded in the lore of the
Karaya as being responsible for the second Great Flood.
South America—The Columbian goddess Chia is recorded in the lore of the
Chibcha as being responsible for the second Great Flood.
South America—The Peruvian God Paricia is recorded as causing the Great
Flood.

Here is where things get just a bit tricky. It is clear that Northern Europeans mi-
grated to North America as early as 1,000 years ago. Evidence has been found and
