The catalog documents distinct traditions that divide human or cosmic history into phases, including Greek and Roman metal ages, Hindu yugas, and Nahua successive Suns.
World ages are a major recurring human way of organizing history, morality, cosmic order, and renewal. They are real as mythic and religious systems. Some connect to astronomy, calendars, and Great Year ideas, but others do not.

Hesiod and Ovid preserve literary age sequences structured as moral decline from earlier, better conditions toward later corruption.

The cataloged traditions use different structures—metal races, Hindu yugas, and Nahua Suns—and should not be collapsed into one astronomical system.

Hesiodic ages, Ovidian metal ages, Hindu yugas, Nahua successive Suns, and later Western astrological ages are separately attested traditions, not one interchangeable chronology.

World-age traditions are source-attested literary, religious, and cosmological systems; that status does not make them literal scientific records of past events.

World ages are a comparative category for distinct systems that divide human or cosmic history into successive eras.
Answer / theory: They are systems that divide cosmic or human history into eras. What supports it: Greek, Roman, Hindu, Mesoamerican, and later esoteric sources. What is weak or disputed: Treating all systems as one shared doctrine. Evidence level: Strong Evidence.

An astronomical or calendrical basis for a world-age system must be demonstrated within that tradition and cannot be inferred from the comparative label alone.
Answer / theory: Some are connected to calendars or celestial cycles, but many are moral or theological. What supports it: Great Year and zodiac-age systems use astronomy; Hesiod's ages are mainly moral. What is weak or disputed: Assuming astronomy where the source does not state it. Evidence level: Mixed Evidence.

Hesiod's Iron Age and the Hindu Kali Yuga can be compared as decline motifs, but they belong to different textual and religious traditions and are not directly equivalent.
Answer / theory: They are comparable as decline-age ideas, but they belong to different traditions. What supports it: Both involve moral decline. What is weak or disputed: Direct equivalence or shared technical origin. Evidence level: Mixed Evidence.

Culture hero is a comparative category applied to figures in many traditions, not the name of one universal being or one shared historical person.
Culture heroes are one of the most important connective categories in the Religions & Gods cluster. They explain how human communities imagine the arrival of culture, knowledge, survival skills, social order, and sacred practice.

In the represented Greek, Nahua, and Tlingit materials, culture-giving narratives explain particular gifts or institutions; their functions must be stated tradition by tradition.

Hesiod's Works and Days is a primary Greek witness for Prometheus and fire; it does not make Prometheus a universal or historical civilizer.
Answer / theory: Yes. Prometheus is one of the clearest Greek examples because he gives fire and useful arts to humans. What supports it: Greek sources connect him to fire theft and human improvement. What is weak or disputed: This does not prove a real historical fire thief or alien teacher. Evidence level: Strong Evidence for the mythic role.

Some culture-hero narratives involve theft, transgression, or cleverness, but the catalog does not support this as a universal explanation for cultural origins.
Answer / theory: Because culture often begins in boundary-breaking acts, theft, risk, or cleverness. What supports it: Fire theft and rule-breaking teacher stories are common in folklore. What is weak or disputed: This is an interpretive pattern, not a single universal rule. Evidence level: Plausible but Unproven.
