What Happen to the Ancient Civilizations
By James Breedlove
First off, no matter where you search on the web or what video you watch on your social media accounts, everyone of them have different perspective of what did and what didn't happen in the ancient days. Fact is, there is limited amount of written information that takes account of everything that occurred. Even in the account of the Christian Bible or other references that span millenniums such as the cuneiform writings of Sumeria and Babylonian cultures. Or from the Gnostic text such as Enoch who was Noah's grandfather, but the information was handed down from Noah. Unknown if they were ever written before the great flood spoken of in the bible. We are challenged to look at all these things and to see through the bitterness of the atheist views and those set upon set up on stone to be one way, even when there is still written accounts to the contrary.
At least three written historical accounts were given for early creation and/or creation of mankind going forward. In all three accounts there were those who came from the skies who interceded in human development early on, these accounts were based upon a time during the antediluvian period. Without going into each account we leave it to the reader to do that research for themselves.

Almost all cultures have the same story for the great flood, however some have much different timeline on the world events from the time of the flood. Some of these cultures may not have had the means to track such historical changes over the millennium as their culture largely stayed secluded and did not interact much, except for trade and when sea voyagers landed upon their lands. Yet because each have a commonality in their story we can affix somewhat a timetable to associate the written accounts to for comparison. Of these cultures we can assertion a time of great turmoil that was occurring upon earth, and by the accounts of at least two of these early cultures; there was cataclysmic events occurring. There events threaten the entire population of earth and involved a war between some people or beings of earth and those of the sky. In the Hindu version there was indications of something similar to a modern day nuclear war that occurred that left both those of the sky and those who were on the ground were in great disarray. In the biblical text it indicates that in those days there were the Bene Ha Elohim (watchers) who come to earth leaving their first abode to take up wives of the daughters of men, of whom they choose. Their offspring the Nephilim became those known as the mighty men of old, the "titans" such was known in those days both antediluvian and post antediluvian periods.
We hear in many cultures where they try to equivocate their deity as God or the equivalent to the Christ. However, it does not hold water, for all of their long lost deities have long since gone before the time of Christ. Christ and the Father (Most High God, Lord of Host, Creator) had bound all of them prior to Christ being born into the Flesh of mankind. All those known as the Bene Ha Elohim or Anunnaki in some Akkadian, Babylonian and Sumerian belief systems; existed in those days as the Fallen ones or former Watchers most notably referred to in the text of the book of Enoch.
We know by early text that the Sumerians were some of the oldest cultures by their own recorded records which were written on Cuneiform tablets and on cylinder seals preserved by ancient libraries. One of which was Ashurbanipal generally remembered as the last great king of the Assyrian Empire.
However, there are subjective findings of people civilizations such as the San People who are said to have been in existence since 140,000 years ago and other fossil, beads, arrow heads or spear points and rock tools dating back over 2.5 million years. Whereas, no written record account for peoples existence prior to 240,000 years ago according to the Sumerian kings list. Man's account for the biblical record extend as far as, perhaps 6,000 years. Though, much evidence suggest the First Man (Adam) was created over 12,000 years ago and the flood occurred approximately 11,600 years ago or 9600 BC.
Oral traditions and written records are all used for verifying historical facts, both are taken as legitimate sources in combination with historical finds and or any physical evidence that can be found. While some archeologist rely upon carbon dating as a accurate measurement, I do not recommend it as being accurate at all. Rather, if you need a ball park figure perhaps, it is one method to start with perhaps. We do however when possible look at astrological evidence where available to have some significance based on time comparison and scientific studies of astrological movement and precession or Kepler's laws of planetary motion, with relation to the position of the stars and our earths position in the Solar System and or Galaxy. We can go back in record for time occurrences for written sightings or significant occurrences.
Given what we find today, the earth is indeed quite old and surpasses that information provided in the chronology of the biblical text, however we do not take away from the events that occurred in the bible, rather to time between actual accounts and the written account vary and perhaps on a significant scale. We find this predominantly for the accounts predating Noah or even the time of Noah. It is however understandable as early cultures did not have the same since of historical time as we do some two or more thousand years later. Even thought they did keep record from their earliest known leaders, their recollection become elusive after a few hundred or in some cases thousand years of history. We also know by historical record that cultures prior to the time of the Babylonians may have had some of the same languages in use as all the other people that may have existed upon earth. Up till the time of Nimrod and the tower of Babel, setting division between cultures and languages their on out. While the focus can be placed upon the period of the Babylonian empire it was not the only civilization in existence during that time, whereas the branches of Noah's Children went in separate directions and Hams lineage settled in the Mesopotamia area that formed Babylon and some of Cannon, lands that belong to Abraham. Shem and Japheth went their own direction.

Bering Strait, I seriously doubt that. They walked across the land that wasn't yet flooded, to inhabit the lands.
