Atlantis Beneath the Ice: The Fate of the Lost Continent - Tapa blanda

"Rand and Rose Flem-Ath's Atlantis Beneath the Ice is a fascinating and compelling read. Piling tantalising amounts of ancient history, along with modern scientific theories, into the mix with the ancient idea of Atlantis, is sure to draw in the new reader-and the Atlantis know-it-alls will come away with a few surprises. The melding of myth, science and the endearing legend of Atlantis, proves to be one tasty brew for the mind and the soul." * Chard Currie, New Dawn, September 2012 * "An excellent book that is not only beautifully researched but also extremely entertaining to read. The Flem-Aths' theory on Atlantis will go down in the annals of this subject as one of the most convincing and imaginative. Well done for the first-class tour de force." * Robert Bauval, author of Black Genesis and The Orion Mystery *

* Reveals how the earth's crust shifted in 9600 BCE, dragging Atlantis into the polar zone beneath miles of Antarctic ice * Shows how myths of floods and disaster from around the world all point to a common source In this completely revised and expanded edition of 'When the Sky Fell,' Rand and Rose Flem-Ath show that 12,000 years ago vast areas of Antarctica were free from ice and home to the kingdom of Atlantis, a proposition that, also, elegantly solves the mysteries of ice ages and mass extinctions, the simultaneous worldwide rise of agriculture and the source of devastating prehistoric climate change. They examine ancient, yet highly accurate, world maps, including the Piri Reis map of 1513 and show how the earth's crust shifted in 9600 BCE, dragging Atlantis into the polar zone where it now lies beneath miles of Antarctic ice. They reveal that ancient myths of floods, lost island paradises and visits from advanced godlike peoples from all corners of the globe all point to the same worldwide catastrophe that resulted in Atlantis' demise. The authors explain how the remaining Atlanteans, amid massive earthquakes and epic floods, evacuated and spread throughout the world, resulting in the birth of the first known civiliSations. Including rare material from the archives of Charles Hapgood, Albert Einstein and Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Flem-Aths explain how an earth crust displacement could happen again in the future. With new scientific, genetic and linguistic evidence in support of Antarctica as the location of long-lost Atlantis, this updated edition convincingly shows that Atlantis was not swallowed by the sea but was entombed beneath miles of polar ice.
