Didn’t Wolfe himself say somewhere that Typhon got his servants to make up a book of philosophy from eclectic sources, to be the Word of Pas?  Or was that someone else?
Whatever about ‘cycles’, Wolfe’s Urth is much the same as our Earth, and it’s prehistory at least (the era of the Dawn Men, extending up to the colonisation of the inner Solar System) appears to be nearly identical.  Not just the Chrasmological Writings but various objects and events in BotNS testify to this.
