My second favorite book of all time...

[Cynefin]

Having always been interested in and amazed by all the various flood legends from around the world, I began to wonder several years ago if there were any similar legends related to paradise/"the fall," etc. There is a brief mention of them in WOL as I recall, and then I finally found a book that basically collates and discusses them. Their plenteousness and the specificity of some of them will blow your mind. And the author makes it clear that these legends existed in various cultures long before missionaries arrived in the area.

Do you know much about that site? There's a lot info online saying that they have obtained books w/o authors' permission. We should not be using pirated ebooks, etc.
