From The Genesis of the path, a perspective on the The Great Return. Ancient civilizations like the Mayan, Aztec, Tibetan, Egyptian, Sumerian , and Persian anticipated a visit from their gods at regular intervals. In some sense, each one of their respective prophecies foretold of such events.

Or as in the case of the myth of the Great Flood was it a shared remembrance of actual events occurring in the distant past?
