On Flood Myths

I suppose it's awfully appropriate that the Age of Aquarius, associated as it is with a water-bringer, should be an Age that begins with a massive flood that inundates the world...

I'll also note that, assuming historical dating of Gilgamesh and Aga is accurate, the Sumerian King Lists put the great flood (the one associated with Utnapishtim) around 20,000 BC, not too far from the last Age of Aquarius...
