I have always thought something was weird about things like this. Pre-Flood civilization and tech were much higher than we think.
How did they all draw the same thing?
There are some lesser possibilities, but the two up front and most (normally) logical ones are provocative.
A) They either had considerable global contact/exchange
B) They all saw the same thing and "drew" it as best they could.
Neither version fits conventional anthropological or historical timelines with all that means.
While things like Atlantis and Bigfoot appeal to the emotions, until there is verifiable hard evidence that would lend one to think they were real - they will remain squarely in the "myth" category. Don't get me wrong, I'd be ecstatic if we found out that there really was an Atlantean people and culture that was some repository of knowledge we don't have today, the odds are slim at best.
What doesn't have slim odds is the fact that the human race has been on the earth longer than we think, and that between the various hominid species that have existed over the millenia there have been almost no corners of the earth that have not been reached by humans, Denisovans, Neanderthals and others that we have not yet identified (there is a known 3rd species that has left DNA in pacific islander peoples that is yet to be fully identified and understood) and that these various cultures have all at some point interacted with one another.
That is why you see the same type of carvings across the globe on temples and in caves, why the same basic style of architecture developed on opposite sides of the world, etc. Not to mention that - especially with architecture - shapes like pyramids are relatively naturally occurring shapes that early humans learned to mimic because they knew if something stood in nature, it too would stand if they built it. It wasn't until long after we developed as a species that we began learning we could defy natural shapes and build structures that nature could not produce.
You also need to realize that the world has changed significantly just in the last 20k years, much less 300k or 500k years. About 10,000 years ago the Sahara Desert did not exist - it was a rain forest with numerous riverine systems. The Persian Gulf is only about 12k to 15k years old. 10k years ago England was not an island and there was a significant land mass where the North Sea is today called Doggerland. As the earth changed, those that inhabited these areas moved and took their customs, beliefs, etc. with them as they migrated across the planet.
