The Sumerian King List provides one Mesopotamian before-/after-flood kingship pattern, while Fingerprints of the Gods documents a modern survivor-transmission claim.
Post-flood re-civilization is one of the strongest story patterns in the flood-myth cluster. It deserves its own page because it connects flood survivors, antediluvian worlds, kingship, culture heroes, reset theories, and early civilization origins.

Fingerprints of the Gods documents a modern worldwide-reset claim, but the listed archaeology, agriculture, geology, and plate-tectonic sources do not support it.

Fingerprints of the Gods documents a modern lost-precursor and survivor-transmission model; it is claim provenance, not archaeological evidence.
Answer / theory: This is a common mythic and alternative-history idea. What supports it: Culture-bringer stories and post-flood renewal motifs. What is weak or disputed: There is no clear global archaeological transmission chain. Evidence level: Weak Evidence.

A worldwide post-flood survivor group that reintroduced civilization is documented as a modern alternative-history claim but is unsupported by the listed archaeology, geology, and agricultural history.

The global advanced Ice Age civilization tracked in AT-1747 is not established by the catalog's evidence for postglacial inundation, Paleolithic maritime skill, art, or early Neolithic monumentality.
Ice Age Civilization Theory contains a useful challenge and an unsupported leap. The useful challenge is that Ice Age humans were more complex than old stereotypes allowed, and many coastal sites may be submerged. The unsupported leap is the claim of a lost global advanced civilization without direct material evidence.

AT-1746 treats the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis as a disputed mechanism, while AT-1747 tracks a precursor-civilization claim; the catalog does not demonstrate that an impact destroyed an advanced civilization.
Answer / theory: It may have disrupted human groups, but a destroyed advanced civilization is not demonstrated. Evidence level: Mostly Speculative.

AT-1761 through AT-1763 document Hancock's lost-civilization, catastrophe, and media claims; the catalog does not establish a global Ice Age civilization or survivor transmission.
The claim draws from real sites and real open questions, but the evidence does not support the scale, unity, or technological level of the proposed lost civilization.

The cataloged Hancock books and series frame lost human civilization and catastrophe claims, not direct extraterrestrial intervention.
Answer / theory: Not by default. His main framework is lost human civilization and catastrophe, not extraterrestrial intervention. What supports it: His books and media focus on human prehistory, myths, monuments, and catastrophe. What is weak or disputed: His work overlaps with ancient astronaut audiences and media ecosystems. Evidence level: Strong Evidence for distinction, mixed for audience overlap.

Hancock's cataloged framework centers a lost prehistoric human civilization, inheritance, and Younger Dryas catastrophe; it should not be relabeled ancient astronaut theory without a source making that claim.
Answer / theory: Not by default. His main framework is lost human civilization and catastrophe, not extraterrestrial intervention. What supports it: His books and media focus on human prehistory, myths, monuments, and catastrophe. What is weak or disputed: His work overlaps with ancient astronaut audiences and media ecosystems. Evidence level: Strong Evidence for distinction, mixed for audience overlap.

Submerged coastlines and evidence of Paleolithic maritime or artistic complexity do not by themselves demonstrate a single global civilization.
The evidence does not automatically support broader causal, technological, transmission, or literalizing claims beyond the cited record.
