I have though for many years that there are more to myths than just a cute story.
Yep, the whole place seems like a mega job posting asking for an event to destroy it, it is so cursed.
Observations going back as far as Mariner 4 note Mars's unusuall elliptical,"has been seriously disturbed and the planets structure severely strained at some time in the past"
Furthermore,telltale fractures on the Martian crust indicate the there has at some point been significant change in "the planets rotational equilibrium figure"-that is,in its rate of spin.
The laws of celestial mechanics dictate that it[Mars]..should be revolving once every 8 hrs..vs the present rotation of 25.
Such change appears to have been far to large to have been caused by Tidal interaction with Phobos and Deimos,the 2 tiny moons of Mars....
"Some other cause" must be sought.
Interesting that the mythology of ancient man references Mars's moons as being on fire...leading Mars[Chariot]...like "Fiery Steeds".
The names of the moons are telling;
Deimos :Terror
Phobos : Fear
To the ancients...the fiery trabants...Terror and Route.
These myths accompanied by other plain statements of gravametric distortions...energy release events is world wide..and very prominent in the Northern Hemisphere.
Electrical dischargres...waters pulled up above the mountains..."Waters towering in to the skies".
then the collapse of the waters...and the mythology of unbelievable hydraulic action gouging the earth in waves which rolled around the planet for weeks.
Storms of magnitudes only imagined by our thinking...
The stories of Volcanoes going off around the world hints that the earth was experiencing released energys from within its core ..the enertial energies via convection tearing the planet to pieces as they radiated in wave emmisions.
The ancients tell of the earth groaning after the violent events eased off.
The groaning noises continued for decades and terrified man.
Many of the myths cover the enertial dynamics well...the stories tell of the prodigy appearing..then a struggle above as the earth met its combatant..then the energy interactions..with the streaming subsidence theme..as the magnitudes ease off..as the masses distance themselves.
Ancient man witnessed and survived events that would make our sci fi imagination artists envious..yet it was as the Mayans comment;
The Sun age ended..and only a few men survived.

Still an interesting article.

Jeez, talk about slow ... 2002,2003,2006, ... finally downloads in 2011.
