It could be that the flood myths (Atlantis, the floods in the bible and a lot of others) come from this time.
That would suggest that oral knowledge survive thousands of years (a little more than DVDs). It's pretty remarkable.
- k8tte 11y agoI agree, and many more have been making this argument over the years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_myth#Claims_of_historicity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_myth#Claims_of_historici... Also, if you find this fascinating I suggest go watch The Exodus Decoded, www.imdb.com/title/tt0847162
- turder 11y agoNot just thousands, try tens of thousands. For example, Australian Aborigines still have stories about the huge, man-eating lizards. It was considered just a standard myth until we discovered fossils of Megalania, a huge lizard matching the description, that went extinct soon after humans came to Australia. Closer to the actual sea level rise topic, tribes of coastal northern Australia still have names and relatively precise description of land features (mountains etc) that are now underwater, but were land until 9k years ago.
