comparative religion:
various world mythology appear to be describing the same events.
----------
Now it came to pass, when humans began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the human daughters, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years. 4 There were Nephilim on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the Gibborim who were of old, men of renown.
--------------
And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. 2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.' 3. And Semjz, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' 4. And they all answered
him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' 5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. 6. And they were in all two hundred; who descended ⌈in the days⌉ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.
In the beginning Elohim created Asgard and Niflheim.
And Niflheim was without form, and void; and Skotos was upon the face of Ginnungagap.
And the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters.
And Elohim said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And Elohim saw the light, that it was good: and Elohim divided the light from the darkness.
And Elohim called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And Elohim said, Let there be a shield in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.
And Elohim made the shield, and separated the waters which were under the shield from the waters which were upon the shield: and it was so.
And Elohim called the shield Svalinn. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
And Elohim said, Let the waters under Svalinn be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And Elohim called the dry land Midgard; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and Elohim saw that it was good.

I would rather see this topic described and commented on in your own words rather than expecting the reader to have to read the charts.
