We can compare different flood myths and see there's no universal similarity between them except "there was a flood."
And we can see all sorts of other similarities between different cultures, like the presence of gods and supernatural forces, and not draw the conclusion that gods and supernatural forces existed.
We can look at Australian Aboriginal flood myths, which have the strongest evidence for being the result of sea-level rise from 7,000 years ago, and see that your 'simpler explanation' doesn't fit the data.
And I can see that your statement about the "universal interpretation of the Pleiades as seven sisters" is not correct.

- eesmith 5y agoThen I didn't use the term correctly. There's still no evidence for the universal progenitor culture experience, while there is counter-evidence, including from Australian oral traditions which may date to the same period.
