Hello Luckynumber13,
Thank you for your post.
I have only looked briefly at the work of Wayne Herschel. Whilst I think some of what he presents is quite intriguing, I still remain to be convinced by his proposals.
My own view is that the ancients understood of a cycle of some kind that has the potential to wreak havoc with the Earth - and sometimes has. The ancients, knowing of this cycle, have placed this knowledge on the ground in the form of the Giza pyramids.
'And God has put a chart on Earth and engraved in Heaven to survive the deluge and keep count'. - Book of Enoch
The entire mythology of the Ancient Egyptians concerns itself with surviving death, of rebirth in the Afterlife. This mythology, I believe, is an echo from their ancient ancestors about surviving a future deluge and - in particular - what must be put in place to ensure the survival not just of the Pharaoh but of humankind.
It is not so much making it into the Afterlife as it is surving in the Aftermath. Why else would the ancients build structures (pyramids) that are symbolic of the 'primeval mound' - the first land to appear from the waters of the deluge? Why would they place large boats beside these structures? And, is it perhaps possible that the 'grain stores' of Egypt mentioned in the Book of Genesis were not so much 'grain stores' as 'seed vaults' not unlike the seed vault in Norway we are presently populating:
