   It just occurred to me that Flood Myths might be Jungian archetypes.   
   Could Flood Myths be a meme that is a kind of rememberance of what we   
   were while still in utero. Toward the later stages of gestation the   
   brain becomes active and the child in utero has some perceptions.   
   Perhaps we remember floating in water. This is pure speculation on my   
   part, but it would explain why Flood Myths are so common among the   
   various cultures of the world. After all, we were all swimming around in   
   water before we were born into this world.
