Extinctions and catastrophes are established. Cosmic endings are possible. This is not a moral apocalypse or a ritual reset.
Asked of every system
Twenty-two questions

14 / 22
Has civilization or the world been destroyed or reset before?
- Judaism02
Flood, judgment, restoration.
Judgment of corrupt beings and the world.
Apocalypse, judgment, renewed creation — future-facing, with flood precedent in shared scripture.
- Islam05
Final judgment and transformation.
Repeated cosmic cycles — destruction and renewal as structure, not a single end.
Cyclic existence; cosmological cycles in many traditions.
Transformation and cycles.
Cyclical death and renewal.
Great flood and catastrophe traditions.
Ragnarök followed by a renewed world.
Flood and re-creation traditions exist.
Previous creations and transformations.
Final restoration — a consummation of ordered creation, not endless repetition.
Judgment and renewal.
Not centered on one world apocalypse.
Great ages, conjunction cycles, precessional/world-age concepts, and recurring celestial cycles appear in different systems.
Yes, in the pieces that survive. The Eridu Genesis names Ziusudra in a boat. The King List says the flood swept over, then kingship was lowered again to Kish. The flood tablet is broken, so the cause is not fully there.
Succession of divine regimes, and stories of flood or the end of an age. Cities differed. There is no one Greek apocalypse.
- Jainism20
No. The universe does not end. Eras decline and recover.
- Sikhism21
The world is created and will not stand forever. Scripture does not center a timetable of ends.
- Shinto22
Not the point of the tradition. Myths are about coming-to-be, not a final burning of the world.
Dynasties fall when mandate fails. Cosmic ages appear in some texts. A single religious apocalypse is not the pattern.
The lower world is not the true beginning and is not meant to be home. A flood-reset of cities is not the usual plot.
The Asclepius describes a coming ruin and restoration of Egypt’s sacred order. Other Hermetic texts do not share that scene.
Not centered on a past or future destruction of the world.
Not a future end of the world. Stories of local catastrophe belong to particular countries.
Pachacuti, a turning of the world or of an age, is recorded. It is not Noah’s flood and not a last judgment.
The claim is fulfillment of past religious dispensations, not a shared memory of one physical flood and not a kalpa wheel.

Monsters, naayééʼ, are overcome so people can live on the surface. That is not a Hopi leaving of a world, and not a flood taken from another row.
Earlier worlds were left. This world’s continuation is tied to the covenant. No single prophecy book is the source.
Irish legend has floods and successive peoples.
