Pre-Flood Civilization Preservation Theory

Across virtually every ancient civilization — Sumerian (Gilgamesh), Hebrew (Noah), Hindu (Manu), Greek (Deucalion), Chinese (Gun-Yu), Mesoamerican (multiple accounts) — there are stories of a great flood that destroyed a previous advanced civilization. Geological evidence for rapid sea-level rise at the end of the Younger Dryas period (~11,600 BCE) confirms catastrophic flooding events. The hypothesis: survivors of this catastrophe (Zep Tepi sages, Seven Sages, Apkallu, Viracocha) carried advanced knowledge to Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and the Americas, seeding the pyramid-building traditions worldwide. The Great Pyramid may have been specifically designed to survive such a cataclysm and preserve this knowledge for future civilizations.
