We are all familiar with one flood myth or another, though remarkably we notice this motif all over the world! It has been imagined since antiquity that they must detail a cosmic event. So what history can be excavated from this universally remembered event? Past that even, we have a story that has evolved drastically over the many generations it has been shared. What metaphors do these stories share? What do they say about antiquity's views on the world around them? Most importantly, what can we learn about ourselves?

Part one deals with the fall motif and the antediluvian epoch. Namely, the period before the flood, in this episode we set the stage for the disaster to come.
