also, this is the reasoning behind this thought - if there is a new glaciation, and this is very frequent in the period after the ~6000 year disaster cycle events - it happened 12000 years ago for sure, they even dubbed it the "ice age" - then you want to be at the equator, max sunshine

also, just thinking about it now, this may also be where the humans were concentrated prior to the last geographical pole shift
Will it be habitable while the earth is turning over during the peak of the disaster cycle? Don’t you have to be underground at the beginning before the floods start and then get to a boat if you are too close to the ocean? Or build a boat in the mountains?
