11. SEVEN TALL SAGES AND OTHER IMMORTALS.

They could endue with power the substances on earth — Building Texts

Myths materialized around the world to record for posterity the crashing of aerial projectiles and the terrifying flood that ensued. Without exception the stories describe pockets of survivors being assisted by groups of unusual looking people who appeared from the sea to teach them the accoutrements required for starting, or re-starting, civilization.

Each group consisted of seven individuals led by a charismatic eighth; the leader is always partnered with a wife who is also his sister: Osiris and Isis in Egypt, Enlil and Ninlil in Mesopotamia, Fu Hsi and Nu Hwa in China, Izanami and Izanagi in Japan, Viracocha and his unnamed wife in the Andes, and probably Kiwa and Hotu Matu'a on Easter Island.

At this point it might be useful to recall Manu, the Indus Valley flood hero who is identified in the Bhagvata Purana as Satyavrata, Lord of Dravida (south India). Predictably this righteous man is forewarned by the god Vishnu, who comes to him disguised as a fish. Vishnu promises to return seven days later, during which time Manu is to gather seeds and animals. "On the seventh day after this, the three worlds [Third World perhaps?] shall sink beneath the ocean of dissolution. When the world is dissolved in that ocean, a large ship, sent by me, shall come to you."1

Vishnu follows up on his promise in time for the fireworks to commence. "The sea, augmenting as the great clouds poured down their waters, was seen overflowing its shores and everywhere inundating the earth."2

It strikes me that Manu was not alone aboard this ship. As Vishnu continues: "Surrounded by the Seven Sages... you shall embark on the great ship and shall move without alarm over one dark ocean.” And further along: “In the world thus confounded, the Seven Sages, Manu and the fish were beheld... the fish unwearied drew the ship over the waters, and brought it at length to the highest peak of Himavat [Himalaya]. Smiling, he gently says to the Sages, “'Bind this ship without delay to this peak.' They did so accordingly." 3
