my researches are leading me to some fascinating places today. i don’t know that i’m any closer to writing my reindeer herding shaman story, but dude, ice age land bridges are everywhere once you start looking.
Europe’s coastline has changed in some pretty impresive ways, even within recorded history. Those tales of sunken cities, drowned by the sea? There’s real cities down there, although the bells tend to be a little too corroded to ring any more.
and flood myths all over the world can be traced back to roughly the time when these coastal areas got submerged (and the black sea filled up). curiously, australian oral history is accurate enough to record specifically where the drowned hunting grounds were, like people can take you there and point at the ocean and go “ok so people used to hunt kangaroo out there at around the same time that this other place i told you about was a river instead of an inlet” and you can confirm the story with sonar and sediment cores.
so. cool.
