For generations, scholars of religion and mythology have been puzzled at finding the same, or similar, stories by various ethnic groups of both the Old and New World. Common denominators of the tales are a nebulous-like Oneness before the world was created, the separation of Earth and Heaven, an incest, siblings of opposite disposition, and the flood that destroyed a first world. Retrieving Tribal Memory relies on the oral traditions and ceremonialism of primitive peoples studied by ethnographers, “natural histories”written by early historians, and evidence of archaeologists and archeo-astronomers to demonstrate that all those universal themes belong to an epic creation cycle whose origin can be traced to our common Paleolithic Out-of-Africa ancestors.
