EU has it that quasars are emissions from galactic cores. It is standard astronomy that a proportion of galaxies have explosions from their cores. So it is far from unreasonable to consider the possibility that our galaxy, the Milky Way, has had such an explosion.
In December 2004 there was a GRB (gamma ray burst) and the huge Indonesian earthquake just 44 hours apart. Now if we propose that a galactic core explosion would be similar to that GRB but millions of times more powerful then we can start to guess the effects on the planets and stars of every stellar system hit by the explosive front. So I am guessing that the stars in these stellar systems would become much brighter, and their planets could easily be moved out of their regular orbits.
For the people on Earth one postulates sudden massive ground movements with enormous tsunamis to follow shortly afterwards. Although there is the chance that much smaller bursts could have preceded this big one, allowing people to prepare underground. Then the Sun would explosively burst forth causing mass extinction of life on this planet. After this there would have been a difficult survival period and chaotic planetary orbits.
Perhaps these survivors found two suns in the sky and a very bright Milky Way. So maybe the stories, myths, started there. The Milky Way would have been prime in these stories but soon there were the planetary interactions to incorporate in the stories.
Where the Earth was orbitally before all this is unknown and whether there was some sort of civilization before this is also an open question. The actual event would have to be the Younger Dryas. Saturn seems to have come into the story after the event. Other catastrophic events would have occurred with the interaction of Earth with other planets.
