I know AA gets shit for being a show. However I read Chariot of the Gods in like 4th grade. I never looked back. Swap Aliens for all the Gods and demons, and bam, religion meets science.
Generations of people bothered keeping track of those stories and taking care of those books for centuries at a time where, the printing press wasn't available and recreational literature such as novels wasn't a thing, it was very hard to make a copy of a book, you had to do it by hand... So they obviously had a very good reason to do it, a vital one, they didn't do that just for the sake of it
Now what's the truth at the bottom of it, what really inspired those stories... Who knows
So Im not anti religion. Especially when you see the same myths over the entire world. Like the flood myth. However science cant answer any of it. Neither can anthropology. However if you think in terms of higher advanced civilizations compared to Gods. Its easy to see it's one and the same.
Any shit tier life form that comes to Earth right now. Would be considered Gods.

In 1997, William Ryan, Walter Pitman, Petko Dimitrov, and their colleagues first published the Black Sea deluge hypothesis. They proposed that a catastrophic inflow of Mediterranean seawater into the Black Sea freshwater lake occurred around 7600 years ago, c. 5600 BCE .[3][4]
As proposed, the Early Holocene Black Sea flood scenario describes events that would have profoundly affected prehistoric settlement in eastern Europe and adjacent parts of Asia and possibly was the basis of oral history concerning Noah's flood.[4] Some archaeologists support this theory as an explanation for the lack of Neolithic sites in northern Turkey.[5][6][7] In 2003, Ryan and coauthors revised the dating of the early Holocene flood to 8800 years ago, c. 6800 BCE.[8]
