INTERDOC_57 — Cascade Pattern Across Civilization Resets

Three civilization-altering events — the Younger Dryas climate reversal (c. 12,800 years ago), the Late Bronze Age Collapse (c. 1177 BCE), and the Justinianic Plague (541–549 CE and centuries of recurrence) — share struc

INTERDOC_04 — Catastrophe-Migration-Civilization Cycle

The archaeological and paleoclimatic record reveals at least five major catastrophe-migration cycles in the last ~75,000 years, each following a recognizable pattern: a sudden environmental shock (volcanic eruption, cosm

INTERDOC_64 — Cross-Cultural Constellations: Independent Invention vs. Diffusion as a Knowledge-Transmission Probe

The 88 modern IAU constellations are a cultural product — 48 from Ptolemy (~150 CE, derived from Mesopotamian/Babylonian sources), 12 from Keyser and de Houtman (~1596, Dutch East Indies), and 28 filled in by 17th–18th c
