Modern science allows you to look inside the atom and explain the nature of many phenomena, but there are many mysteries that still cannot be explained. In particular, scientists can only speculate how the universe originated exactly as it exists today. The structure of the solar system also raises many questions, as does the amazing process of regulation of the temperature and climatic regime on the globe, which allowed the emergence of a unique world in which intelligent life was born.
Cosmic cataclysms and life on Earth
When studying the past of the planet, it was found that over the entire history of its existence, catastrophes have repeatedly occurred, leading to the almost complete extinction of all living beings. At the same time, cosmic factors often became their causes. In the mythologies of almost all the peoples of the world, legends about terrible cataclysms have been preserved, which radically changed the face of the planet and led to large-scale death of people. Moreover, researchers are increasingly finding confirmation of these legends.
So, one of the most famous catastrophic events that occurred in antiquity is the flood. It is mentioned in the legends of many peoples. This, coupled with the discovered geological traces, allows us to make the assumption that this event really happened in ancient times and covered almost all regions of the world. As for its cause, different versions of what is happening are put forward. One of the more interesting hypotheses suggests that the flood was caused by the appearance of the moon. At the same time, some historical documents say that in ancient times there was no moon at all, and its appearance was accompanied by various cataclysms, including a flood. This version is quite capable of explaining the sharp rise in the water level and the flooding of vast territories. A massive space body, when it appeared in orbit, exerted tidal effects by its gravity, causing not only an increase in the sea level, but also rapid changes in the outlines of continents. At the same time, the most daring assumptions say that the Moon was installed by someone in the orbit of our planet.
In addition to the flood, according to the legends of many peoples, other catastrophes occurred in ancient times. One of the most ambitious was the periodic appearance in the sky of the monster Typhon, which caused almost total loss of life and terrible destruction. Experts deciphering ancient sources are inclined to believe that a certain celestial body is hidden under this name, probably an old neutron star with a very elongated orbit. Once every few thousand years, it enters the solar system and causes enormous destruction. In legends, this event is described as the fall of fiery rains, violent hurricanes, earthquakes, floods that occur after an ominous monster appears in the sky. Because of such disasters, most of the living perished, and the development of human civilization after a certain time began again from scratch.
Powerful patrons of people

At the same time, the legends of almost all peoples tell that people are constantly helped by some powerful creatures called gods. They advise in advance the chosen people about the coming disasters, help to survive them and start a new page of history anew. It is thanks to these mysterious creatures that human civilization did not cease to exist after numerous cataclysms.
These creatures had tremendous capabilities - they could fly over the ground, build cities in a short time, gave people knowledge, gave the most important agricultural crops, among which corn is especially worth highlighting. They are also credited with the emergence of the people themselves through genetic engineering.
As for the causes of global disasters, which from time to time ruin most of the world's population, researchers have several versions of what is happening. According to one of them, if the result of experiments on human genes did not suit the "gods", they provoked catastrophes, leaving only those alive who were most suitable for further "selection".
Another hypothesis implies that cosmic cataclysms occurred independently of the will of these powerful creatures, and they could only organize the salvation of a small part of people to preserve the gene pool. Another hypothesis suggests that in ancient times there were often conflicts between representatives of several highly developed civilizations. The confrontation was carried out with the help of powerful weapons capable of tearing an entire planet to shreds. People who considered these creatures to be gods also had a hard time at such a time - the collision of such titans caused catastrophes on a planetary scale and swept away entire cities and states from the earth.
Today, the stories of the gods are considered by many to be nothing more than fiction, however, in ancient history there are still many mysteries that require careful research.
