Well, you can imagine what people in the church thought. Well, this came after ours. This is just a copy of Noah's flood. This is just a copy of the book of Genesis. It must be because our story, many people today have a hard time believing that many people for a long time believed the Old Testament was literally true. that everybody was related to Noah, everybody was related to Ham.

That was our ancient kinfolk. And if you could trace the lines on ancestry, it all goes back to them. Most people today, it's hard for them to believe that. Many, many people believe that for many, many years. That story started to break down when they started finding the other flood myths, the other serpent myths, and they went, uh-oh, we got a problem.

And so you start this game of which is called mythography. And you have in Britain what are called the mythography wars. This was like contemporary debates over, say, like the 1619 Project or something. This is how hot this shit was in the 1800s.

I'm going to look for something in psychology and biology that it may be inherent to.
