This kind of thing is similar to fortune telling... There are some vague tales that occasionally coincidentally align with geological record, (or can be massaged to resemble another yarn). However there is nothing beyond wishful thinking to show that the tales remained consistent for any length of time, or were based on reality in the first place.

Aboriginal studies is a joke, there is no ability for a critical interpretation to be published, so the entire field has descended into drivel.

It would be interesting to contrast this with a possible theory that Prometheus represents an oral tradition of the first controlled use of fire around 1M years ago.

Is this based on deep research into the matter, full coverage of all academic and non-academic material?

Very much agree, but don't despair: a vast record of this pseudo-rational, pseudo-scientific, and very effective propaganda is digitally archived, just waiting for someone to assemble it into a presentation of how the world really works, a legitimate Theory of Everything, not the bogus one science has sold to an indoctrinated public.
