The Younger Dryas (~12,800 years ago) is proposed as a cataclysm ending precursor civilizations. Egyptian king lists reference Zep Tepi ("First Time") and Shemsu Hor ("Followers of Horus") — periods preceding dynastic rule by thousands of years, with some texts spanning 40,000+ years of ancestors. "Hamlet's Mill" argues precession encoded in world mythologies points to a lost civilization. ⏳
