Many ancient stories, especially the Greek genesis, tells of the events that led to the destruction of our primordial Eden. Earth was rotating on a polar axis along with Mars and Venus visible in front of Saturn, connected by a central pillar of illuminated plasma called a Birkeland current. These currents still connect all celestial structures, but the spacial environment and charge density is much lower now, meaning we cannot see them because they are not in glow-mode. This primordial Saturnian system was cacooned in a purple glowing haze, the ancients describe eternal twilight, and then God said "Let there be light" and Night and day was created as our original system was captured by our current Sun. It took from about 12,900-to 6,000 BC to reach equilibrium and recover following many millennia of recurring catastrophic electric storms and flooding. That's why societies around the world sprung up out of the Bronze Age and proliferated from there, with no written record before that.
Also the evidence is etched in stone all around the world from the survivors who tell us what they saw in the sky.
