 Saturnian Cosmology - Noah
We can be certain that Mars appeared soon after the flood of 3114 BC (but most likely by 3000 BC), because all the "Flood Myths" have the survivors anchor their 'boats' at a mountain at the end of the Flood.
The start of pyramids after 2600 BC in Egypt is duplicated elsewhere in the world: in Mesopotamia as high ziggurats (2600 BC or later), in China (undated), in the Andes on the Peruvian coast (2630 BC), and in Meso-America (after 1200 BC).
It is tempting to suggest that the mountainous shape of the pyramids built after 2686 BC reflects the shape of the plasma tail seen eminating from Jupiter, and that the phrase "rising on your mountain" reflects the rising and setting of Jupiter in the night sky.

As we move from one zodiacal sign to the next, important new cultural icons appear corresponding to the equinotial markers of the age, and old ones are sometimes thrown down.
The dates quoted are arbitrarily chosen to indicate roughly the time frame of each age, based on an equal vernal point shift distance of 30 degrees (2160 years) per age (12 zodiacal constellations in 360 degrees) and anchored using 0 AD as the dawn of the Piscean age.
This is necessarily flawed as the zodiacal constellations do not span exactly 30 degrees each - far from it.
