Comparative Mythology comes up in 2 chapters across 2 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from June 2016 to July 2022.
Cross-Cultural Flood Myths and Universal Consistency
The hosts discuss the striking similarities between flood myths in disparate cultures, such as the Navajo nation and the biblical story of Noah's Ark. They argue that these consistencies across civilizations that had no contact with one another suggest a shared historical reality rather than mere coincidence or religious "ripping off."
Marty Leeds, Conversion from Skepticism to Flat Earth Research
Marty Leeds describes his transition from viewing Flat Earth as a ridiculous conspiracy to considering it a serious subject of study. His initial skepticism was short-lived after he examined comparative mythology and realized many ancient cultures described a flat earth with a dome firmament. Leeds explains that his attempt to debunk the theory failed within days, leading to a deeper exploration of the model.
