ICE AGE EARTH
THE ASA THEORY
(An Ice Age Mystery)
65-1"And in those days Noah saw the earth had tilted and that it's destruction was near."
AN ODD CHOICE OF WORDS
I don't know how many of the readers of this article follow either Biblical style writings or Greek philosophers. Please understand, I am not attempting to convert anyone to either system of beliefs. Your beliefs are your own. I am only attempting to express the ideas put forth by these writings and follow the events that would have occured due to a "Tilting" of the Earth.
My reason for refering to these two writings is because they are the only two ancient text that refer to the Earth having Tilted.
It seems obvious to me that the author of 'The Book of Noah' considered the Earth to be round, or else we may have slid off when --
'And in those days Noah saw the Earth had tilted.'
Plato on the other hand appeared to have a different view. His choice of words seem to indicate his view of the Earth.
"A shifting of the bodies of the heaven, which move round the earth".
He did not say the earth tilted, but the effect was the same. His choice of words leads me to believe he considered the earth was flat, or at least the stationary center of the "Cosmos".
I would like to note here that I do not Know if the "ATLANTIS" of Plato's saga was an actual place. However, the Geological, Archaeological and Historical references indicate that a highly advanced Neolithic Society did in fact exist in the caribbean area from Yucatan/Florida to the northern tip of South America.
Plato's description of ice age Atlantis is that it was 321 miles long, 223 miles wide and rectangular in shape.(Converted from the Stadium Measurement used by Plato) The ocean approach to Atlantis was high cliffs all along it's coast. It was washed away in one night in an incredible flood. It was destroyed in 10,000 B.C. after a series of earthquakes and possible volcanic activity.
The area I cover in this writing is the Caribbean Basin. The Caribbean Basin sits on the "slab" of the Puerto Rico Trench. The Pacific side is bordered by the Mid America trench. This area was born of Earthquakes and Volcanos. An earthquake there was an absolute Certainty.
Plato's discription of Atlantis would easily match the area of the Caribbean Basin or the Bahama Islands region. The location and time of destruction coincide perfectly with Plato's writing. There is no other place on Earth that is any better matched for the Atlantis discribed by Plato than the Caribbean Basin or the Bahamas.

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED WHILE MAKING THIS FILM
Today the Earth tilts at 23.5 degrees in relation to it's path around the Sun. According to The Book of Noah and the writings of Plato, the Earth once sat in a more upright position. This upright position would have placed the North American Glacial ice pack as much as 2,000 miles further north than it is today. During the Ice Age the sea level was as much as three to five hundred feet lower than today due to the fact that the Glacier held all of that water. A great deal of land would have been exposed due to this lower sea level.
The "Tilt" that these writings propose took place would have leaned the area of North America down into the temperate zone. This would have caused the rapid meltoff of the Ice Age Glacier. This action would also have drawn Russian Siberia up into the frigid zone. This would explain why we find Mammoths frozen there with summer flowers still in their stomachs.
The writings of Plato and the Book of Noah discribe a Tilt in the Earth. Whether we choose to except that the Earth tilted or not as these ancient sources state, the "FACT" remains that the Ice Age ended. And according to most scholars on the subject, it ended quite quickly, which brought on an incredible climatic collapse called the Younger Dryas Period. A time when melting Ice Sheets produced so much rain and flooding that plants world wide died on a massive scale, not from drought, but from too much water. With the loss of their food supply, the Ice Age Mega-Animals perished as well. Incredible flooding swept the Earth, especially in the America's. Any advancements humankind had made to that point were swept aside in the struggle for survival.
These people were as highly advanced as Neolithic technology could take them. There were farmers, herders, pottery makers, weavers, fishermen and boat builders. I believe they possessed the ability to cross the Atlantic and back again, riding the smaller but much swifter Ice Age Atlantic Current or "Gulf Stream" as some call it.
I am not saying this Caribbean civilization was "THE" Atlantis of Plato.
"I firmly believe Atlantis was more of an Age in Time than it was a Place in Geography."
Had The Earth tilt/End of Ice Age/Younger Dryas period not taken place, our society would be at least a thousand years more advanced than it is today.
We know the Ice Age ended suddenly. The queston then is, "Where did all that water go?"
Below is a link to this site for those who do not consider these works to be of historical significance. No reference to these materials or to a Tilt of the Earth are made. The site this link leads to is "Only" about a proposed Caribbean Mega Flood caused by the melting Ice Sheet over North America.
There were three exits out of the Gulf of Mexico that water must pass through before entering the sea.
No.-1 The exit between the Florida and Yucatan Peninsula's.
(Much smaller 12,000 years ago)
No.-2 The exit between Florida and Cuba.
(Also much smaller 12,000 years ago)
No.-3 The exit between Yucatan and Cuba.
(Was greatly restricted or didn't exist 12,000 years ago)
The exit's of Florida/Yucatan and Florida/Cuba were greatly enlarged by the Ice Age Mega Flood into the openings we see there today.
The exit of Yucatan/Cuba was dramatically opened by the megaflood event as it washed away the soft poreous limestone that was the bedrock off the western tip of Cuba.
Between the Gulf and the Caribbean Basin was the the Yucatan Cuba land bridge. Today this is a 135mi(217 km) wide opening from the Gulf of Mexico into the Caribbean Basin, but then it was a narrow land bridge connection between Yucatan and Cuba with perhaps a much smaller opening.
(We estimate that at least fifty miles of the western tip of Cuba was washed away by the Megaflood as well as a sizeable portion of northeast Yucatan)
Scientist are now saying the English channel was carved out by an Ice Age Flood between 150,000 & 400,000 yrs. ago. If an Ice Age flood can carve out the English Channel, one should have no problems carving away the little Land Bridge between Yucatan & Cuba that I am proposing.
English channel carved by huge ancient flood
Yucatan is very flat and low lying. The bedrock of the Yucatan Peninsula is limestone. Limestone rocks are sedimentary rocks that are made from the mineral calcite which came from the beds of evaporated seas and lakes and from sea animal shells. Limestone is soluble in water. This is what made Yucatan so susceptible to the overflow of water from the Gulf. Yucatan's limestone bedrock is honeycombed with caves and sinkholes. There are no major rivers on the Yucatan Penensula. This is due to the poreous limestone landscape. The water simply sinks underground.
There are underground cave rivers that run up to 150 miles in Yucatan. All along these underground rivers are giant sink holes. These can be a hundred feet or more across and hundreds of feet deep. There are at least 8,000 such sink holes that have been counted in Yucatan and likely thousands of more uncounted.
The coastal areas of Yucatan are made up of relativly young lime stone. Around 1.5 to 2 million years old and some much younger. This type of limestone has not been pressurized and hardened like older, deep earth limestone. It was not difficult for the overflowing waters of the Gulf to erode the Yucatan/Cuba land bridge. You can practically break some of this limestone with your bare hands. Globigerina limestone and coralline limestone are the main types in this area.
The following quote from Quintana Roo Speleological Survey should provide a better idea of the age of some of the shore area of Yucatan
"Most Quaternary deposits on the isthmus are restricted to the present margins of the peninsula. These deposits are typically thin, extending 1-3 km inland from the Caribbean. Most Pleistocene deposits are the result of marine transgressions over Eastern Quintana Roo during the Illinois and Wisconsin Ice ages."
Below the Gulf was the Caribbean. Much of the exposed land in the Caribbean was due to the lower sea levels. This Caribbean formed 'millions of years ago' due to plate tectonic activity. This section was hundreds of feet lower than the area around the Gulf. This section is outlined by the Puerto Rico Trench. It was surrounded by hills that are today the island chain known as the Caribbean Islands.
The Gulf was fed by the Mississippi River. This river was a 120 mile wide raging torrent from the melting Glacier to the Gulf.
The water flooding in from the glacial meltoff was much more than was flowing out through the smaller Florida Cuba opening. As the water backed up in the Gulf, it began flowing over the flat low lying Yucatan Peninsula and eroded down the north eastern corner of Yucatan and caused the collapse of the western tip of Cuba. These two areas were much more pronounced then than they are today.
To gain a better understanding of the amount of water the Ice Age Glacier was pouring into the Gulf of Mexico, here is a quote from the
St. Paul District Army Corps of Engineers
"Melting ice sheets released vast amounts of water that flooded the Mississippi Valley. These floods scoured the valley from the bluff to bluff, spilling meltwater miles back into tributary valleys".
Remember, the Mississippi Valley is 120 miles wide. This is an astounding amount of water. If you could stand on one side, you could not see the other side. The curveture of the Earth would prevent it. Standing on the shore of the Ocean, a six foot tall person with good eyesight can see the horizon about 3 miles away. The Mississippi was fourty times wider than that. This incredible volume of water raised the Gulf water level by up to 300ft above much lower Ice Age sea level.
This proved to be too much for the smaller openings of Florida Cuba / Florida Yucatan. 12,000 years ago all of the now submerged land area of Florida, Yucatan and Cuba was exposed. This backup of water flooded these exposed areas. The backup of water was exerting tremendous pressure on the water that was escaping through the narrow divides in the Florida Cuba / Florida Yucatan exits. This highly pressurized water tore away at the walls of the openings and ripped away huge chunks of material, making them many times larger. This onrushing water also overcame the partial land bridge between Cuba and Yucatan. When the Cuba-Yucatan land bridge gave way, 600,000 sq mi (1,550,000 sq km), of Gulf water that was at least 100ft. (up to 500ft.) deep poured through and hit the lower Caribbean land mass with the force of an explosion. Everything in the path of this unstoppable force was snatched from it's foundations and was ground into a mass of liquid land and carried out into the Atlantic Ocean.
Cuba and the other Carribean Islands of today are but the leftover remnants of the Caribbean Basin that this Ice Age Caribbean Mega Flood could not dissolve.
If you would like to learn more about this event go to your favorite satellite viewer and type in Northeast Coast, South America. You will see the debris field left by this wash away. It totally fills the southern side of the Puerta Rico Trench and piles out into the Atlantic Ocean. It stretches along 200 miles of the South American coast line. Or you can use the really cool Google map at this link and scroll about a third of the way down the page:
Use the above map to Zoom In on the area off the western tip of Cuba. There you will see the main area of the land Bridge we say was overcome by the meltoff water from the North American Ice Age Glacier.
THE GULF CARIBBEAN AREA FORMATION
The prevailing geologic model maintains that the Caribbean crust formed in the Pacific over an Earth core hotspot or mantle plume within the Earth and drifted east to it's present position. The seperation of the North American plate and the Yucatan Penninsula tectonic block began creating the Gulf of Mexico around 150mil. yrs. ago. The Gulf of Mexico Basin opened with a clockwise rotation of the Yucatan block . Over millions of years the Gulf has opened to it's present form. Today the Gulf of Mexico covers an area of 600,000 sq mi (1,550,000 sq km).
The Cayman trough, or gully, was created when the Yucatan continental block, one of two Paleozoic blocks forming northern Central America split apart from the southern Nicaragua Honduras Block. This seperation occurred from east to west forming what is now the Cayman Trench. The entire area, from Texas-Louisiana to Northern Central America opened like a Fan.
(according to the most prevailent models on the subject)
On the satellite photo the Cayman Ridge to the south of Cuba is visable. To the west is the Cuban Ridge (also called the Yucatan parallel ridge) that runs from the western tip of Cuba to the southeastern corner of the Yucatan Peninsula.
Below is a quote from the Department of Interior that lends support to the Yucatan Cuban Land Bridge connection
Possible Structural Link between Yucatan and Cuba
"Oceanographic investigations along the east-
ern margin of the Yucatan Peninsula (Quintana Roo Ter-
ritory) have revealed the presence of two ridges sepa-
rated by a depression, which parallel the Yucatan coast.
The strike of the eastern, or Outer Ridge (north-north-east) changes to northeast at the northern end of this
ridge and reaches toward the Cuban shelf. The origin of the Outer Ridge is unknown, but possibly it is a remnant of a Paleozoic fold belt that connects the basement rocks beneath the ridge east of British Honduras (Turnef Fe Island well) with basement rocks on the Isle of Pines (CUBA)
The origin of the Outer Ridge is unknown,
but some speculation appears to be justified, inasmuch as this is the first possible structural
link that has been found between Cuba and Yucatan."
doi.aapg.org
The Cayman Ridge, and in particular, the Cuban Ridge, were much higher than todays ridge lines during the last Ice Age. It was this more developed Ridge System that formed a narrow Island Land Bridge area between Yucatan and Cuba. This Land Bridge was the left over remnant of a Paleozoic Ridge System that connected Yucatan and Cuba. It was a mile high wall between the Gulf and the Caribbean and was at least several miles thick.
Most who are familar with the Yucatan Channel won't argue that the stub of a ridge system exist between Yucatan and Cuba today. Some will even agree, that at one point in time, Cuba and Yucatan were likely connected by land. The point of disagreement comes at the time of the disconnecting of these two bodies. They propose the time of this seperation in terms of hundreds of thousands of years. This is due to the time required for Karsting to break down a limestone land base under normal conditions.
(Karsting is the dissolving of limestone over a long period of time to form cave systems and enlarged vertical cracks called joints. Limestone rocks are sedimentary rocks that are made from the mineral calcite which came from the beds of evaporated seas and lakes and from sea animal shells.
Limestone is soluble in water. Karsting allows limestone to be broken down and washed away by water).
A land mass connection between Northeast Yucatan and Cuba would require hundreds of thousands of years to break down due to the forces of water erosion and Karsting under normal circumstances. The immense water flow from the rapid melt off of the North American glacier was not normal water flow. We feel the process of Karsting was still occuring at the end of the last Ice Age. This Karsting is what allowed the backed up water pressure in the Gulf to shatter the partial land bridge between Yucatan and Cuba.
Between The edge of the Yucatan Channel and the Cayman Ridge is the abysmal plain of the northern Caribbean Basin. If you will study the Images, you will see a huge field of debris in this area.
To us this is the washout of the Land Bridge between Yucatan and Cuba at the end of the last Ice Age. Some may counter that this was the process of millions of years of erosion.
We feel the distance between the debris field and the edge of the Yucatan plateau indicates the force of water that was required to propel this debris the distance it has been removed from the Yucatan area. Also, the collapse of the Cuban shelf at the southwestern corner of Cuba indicates a force of water that undermined this area.
If you will study the image below you will see the debris field on the north side of the Cayman Ridge. This is the area we say the washout debris from the Yucatan Cuban land bridge was deposited.
To the south of the Cayman Ridge is the debris from the Megaflood hitting and overwashing the Cayman Ridge.
In the summer of 2000, geologist Paulina Zelitsky, and her husband and business partner, Paul Weinzweig discovered geometrically shaped megalithic forms off the coast of Cuba. Because these shapes are seldom seen in nature, some hailed them as the work of a lost civilization. Paulina Zelitsky said she believed that a partial land bridge once joined Cuba and Yucatan. She felt that at the end of the ice age this land bridge collapsed due to a seismic event.
We agree that a partial land bridge once connected Cuba and Yucatan. And, seismic activity probably played a roll in the collapse of that land bridge. But, to us these geometric shapes are the result of splits, fractures and breakage in the plate material of Cuba and the land bridge. These karsted forms broke and shattered into these shapes because of the incredible water pressure pushing against this area. We believe many more of these forms will be found stretched across the northern Caribbeans abysmal plain. Those who observe these forms will wonder, What are these things, and how did they get here?
Those that agree the stub of a ridge system exist between Yucatan and Cuba today tell us that, Yes there is evidence of a Megaflood having taken place in the Caribbean and perhaps more than one. But not on the scale and magnitude I propose. These events to them were more Mega-Surges of Glacial melt-off than Mega-Floods. Until I can produce more evidence that water was indeed backed up in the Gulf due to a partial land bridge, a Mega-Flood is just a theory. If this article were titled,
"AMY SMITH'S CARIBBEAN MEGA-SURGE"
it would have far more support.
In my attempt to have the Caribbean Megaflood recognized as a distinct possibility, I have written to many Geologist and Science Institutions like the USGS, colleges and others seeking support for this proposed Megaflood. Of those that have chosen to respond, none agree with the late date of 10,000 to 12,000 B.C. Those who agree that these things possibly took place say we are off by at least a hundred thousand years and possibly more than that.
Possible, but not in the recent geological past.
During the last Ice Age the sea levels were up to 500 ft. lower than todays levels. At that time the Cuban Ridge between Yucatan and Cuba was not washed down as it is today. For reasons that are as yet unexplained, there was a sudden melt down of the North American Glacier. This rapid melt down created huge Lakes of water. As these Lakes filled, they would break through Ice Dams and Earthern dikes. These megafloods filled the hundred mile wide Mississippi River Valley which dumped into the Gulf. The melt off water was more than the Florida Cuba exit could drain. This caused a backup of water in the Gulf. The Gulf became an Upland Sea with it's water level at 100 to 500 feet higher than the water level of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
The 300 to 500 ft. lower sea level of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea left much land area exposed in the Caribbean Basin that isn't there today. As the water backed up in the Gulf it began to overflow and wash down the Cuban Ridge. The continual flow of water wore away the upper portion of the ridge as it drained over the top. Eventually there was a break in the Ridge, with the main break being at the western tip of Cuba. This allowed a Megaflood of water to wash into the lower Caribbean Basin. This Megaflood consisted of 600,000 sq mi of between 100ft to 500ft deep Gulf water. This Megaflood completly washed away the Cuban Ridge system and eroded down the Land areas in the Caribbean to the smaller Islands we see there today. Some of the debris from this overwash can still be seen on the northern and southern side of the Cayman Ridge. However, as the Megaflood washed away land, it also piled up debris along the southern ridge of the Caribbean and created some of the Islands along that side of the Caribbean Belt.
The rising sea level of the worlds Oceans at the end of the Ice Age filled the Caribbean Basin and today there is little evidence of the land that once existed there. But even today, if the water level were 300 to 500 feet lower, an entirely different chain of Cayman Islands and other Islands would exist in the Caribbean.
In the above presentation the land area of the Caribbean is presented as many Islands both large and small with inter-connecting waterways. It could have been a more solid land mass. The evidence has forever been removed and washed into the Ocean. We may never really know.
I don't know how much land mass was in the Caribbean Basin in 10,000 B.C., but I can see for myself that what is there today has been washed down to it's present mass by a large flood of waters. I think there was much that was there in the form of other small and large land areas that are gone today because of the Ice Age Melt Down. This is my Theory. Proving that this land existed will be a challenge as all traces are gone.
A SIDE NOTE
Using the above theory, the Northern Caribbean Sea was isolated from the Gulf due to a land bridge. Is it also possible, that with sea levels as much as 500ft. lower, the Southern Caribbean also became isolated from the Atlantic Ocean due to the surrounding Caribbean Land Belt? Many who read of the isolation of the Caribbean from the Gulf due to a land bridge may ponder this same thought. This question entriuges me as well, but I do not have the answer. I don't know enough about the depth readings around the Caribbean belt to venture an opinion. "IF" it could have been isolated from the Atlantic, an entirely new set of dynamics would be presented. If anyone has any thoughts or information on this, please let me know!
Would you like to have a better idea of just how much flood water was flowing into the Gulf of Mexico from the Ice Age Glacier Melt Off?
Check out the Mississippi River Valley to get an idea of the amount of water I am talking about. Remember, this Valley was as much as 500ft. deeper than what you see according to greatrivers.com. It is covered over with 12,000 years of sediment buildup. The Mississippi River Valley stretches from Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico and is wider than the state of Louisiana. That is 600miles long and 120 miles wide and between 500 to 1000ft. deep It drawfs the Grand Canyon to a mere hole in the ground. View map, then consider the following thought.
The Ice Age Mississippi River carved out this enormous valley, but there is no evidence that the incredible errosion that washed out this Valley could have had a similar effect on the Gulf or Caribbean Region.
This is a one hundred mile wide valley that according to the St. Paul Corp of Engineers was filled from bluff to bluff and overflowing into offshoot valleys.
That means a 120 mile wide continually flowing wall of water as much as 500 to 1,000 ft. deep was flowing into the Gulf of Mexico.
Perhaps it's just my misguided view, but in the face of
of that much water, I consider this logic difficult to accept.
In the Image above the Mississippi River Valley can be seen. It's more than 120 mile wide path caused by the melting Ice Age Glaicer cut deeply into the Gulf and carved away the then exposed Land area between Florida and Yucatan. The Florida Peninsula today is 90 to 125 miles wide which is about the width the Mississippi River was. That should give the reader of this article some idea of the incredible volume of water that was pouring into the Gulf region from the Ice Age Glacier. A river that massive feeding into the Gulf area would be akin to putting a garden hose into a coffee cup. Below is a quote from GreatRivers.com. This is a geological/historical site specializing on the rivers of North America.
"According to some scholars, catastrophic walls of ice broke off from the receding glaciers and joined a massive run-off of melt-water, scouring out the contours of the Mississippi River. It is envisioned that a sudden collapse of the NA ice cap produced a massive sea-level rise with the speed of a tidal wave around the world. It is likely that the river valley in the upper Mississippi was once 500 feet deeper than it is now, filled as it is with gravel and sand deposited by that melt-water. The accumulated Gulf of Mexico organisms have provided compelling evidence of a vast flood of fresh water about 11,600 years ago".
"The melting of those enormous ice sheets that, at their maximum, were 5,000 to 10,000 feet thick and covered hundreds of thousands of square miles, released tremendous amounts of water, forming huge glacial lakes. The largest of the glacial lakes, Lake Agassiz, covered northwest Minnesota, parts of North Dakota and the Canadian provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario.

There is a special aspect about flowing water. As it flows, it picks up particles of dirt and rock, even boulders, and becomes abrasive. These abrasive particles allow high pressure high volume water to cut away through solid rock foundations like a laser. The greater the volume and pressure of the water, the more abbrasive particles it can carry. The more particles, the more intense that laser becomes.
The southwestern side of the Gulf (the side closest to Mexico) is called the Sigsbee Deep (so named after Charles Dwight Sigsbee The first person to do deep water soundings and mapping of the Gulf and the Captian of the ill fated Battle Ship Main which exploded and sank in Havana Harbor igniting the Spanish American War). This is the side the greatest volume of water was pouring into. As the water poured in it turned to the northeast. Part of this flow cut back in to the incoming flow, and part went towards Florida. The part that turned inward created a wirlpool effect. This highly abrasive water spun like a drill, and is what helped cut out the Sigsbee Deep, the deepest part of the Gulf. This wirlpool drill action is also responsible for carving away the Florida Yucatan opening. This same effect then went on to leave it's mark on the Caribbean.
As this high speed tsunami like wall of water reached the Florida coast on the Gulf side, it appears it may have overwashed at least the northern portion of the Florida Peninsula and dumped into the Atlantic Ocean. There will be more on this below the last Image on this page. I don't know how many of our readers have been to the Gulf. When you see it for yourself, you realize, it is an ocean. It may be smaller than others, but it still qualifies. Now try to imagine this Ocean boiling with the motion discribed here.
Here is a view of how the Caribbean may have looked during the Ice Age. This Image deplicts a Caribbean isolated from the Atlantic Ocean. The sea levels were as much as 300 to 500 feet below todays sea levels. A great deal of land would have been exposed. In the above Image the main exit for water coming from the Gulf of Mexico was through the narrower Florida Cuba / Florida Yuctan Straits. The flat terrain of the Yucatan Peninsula was overwashed by the backup of water. As this water swept over Yucatan it also swept over the Western tip of Cuba. At least 50 to 100 miles of Cuba's western tip was carried away by the flood of backed up water. This, more than anything else allowed a Megaflood to wash into the Caribbean Basin. Once the Cuba Yucatan opening was created, nothing could stop the Megaflood from reaching the Caribbean Basin.
There are many other "Flood and Lost Civilization" stories from our past that I have not made mention of in this writting. The fact that so many of these stories exist and follow much the same story line suggest that more study needs to be done before discounting them as mere legend. Be sure to check out the links below for more on this.
I do however hold that the Caribbean Mega Flood I have presented here is entirely possible and very likely took place.

In the above Image the paths cut by water can clearly be seen. Also the pile up of debri in the Atlantic Ocean is seen as well. The highest point in Florida is a hill that is less than 400 ft. above present day sea level. Much of the state is considerably lower. After a careful study of the striations and debri fields in the Atlantic off the coast of Florida, it appears that the Gulf may have overflowed at least the northern portion of Florida and dumped debri into the Atlantic. If this can be verified it would be another indication of how high the Gulf was at one point. Debri mounds off the coast of the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and the northeast coast of South America are also evident in the above image.

Be sure to see the PDF version of this site for documented and quoted support from respected Scientific Institutions and individual Scientist that the ICE AGE could have caused an EARTH AXIS TILT .
It is not out of the realm of possibility that such a devastating event as a rapid meltdown of the NA Ice Sheet and rapidly rising sea levels could have left a profound impact on the stories of Floods and Lost Civilizations from many cultures.
Don't forget, the Greek Philosepher Homer wrote about the city of Troy. It was considered to be a myth just as many consider Plato's Atlantis to be. But in 1865 an English archaeologist, Frank Calvert, proved it really had existed. Will this happen with Atlantis as well? We can only wait and see.

(Every student of the Ice Age must ask themselves)
(1) Is there "Scientific" support for the Noah/Plato Earth Axis Tilt Theory?
(2) Who are the 14,000 year old Oriental People found in underwater caves off the Yucatan Penensula?
(3) Can we show Archaeological evidence that the first people to arrive in the Americas were the "Jomon" people of Japan who arrived two thousand years before the famed Clovis culture.
(4) Can we show Carbon dated skeletal proof that Africans were in the Americas more than 12,000 yrs. ago.
(5) What's the story behind archaeologist finding 16,000 yr old Ice Age European skeletons in the Americas?
(6) Is there Archaeological proof the Americas were populated at least as far back as 16,000 B.C.
(7) How did all of these different people get to the Americas in the first place and how did they all arrive at the same time?
(8) Weren't Neolithic or Cave People just too stupid to build Trans-Oceanic vessels and if they did build such craft, how did they do it with simple Stone Age technology?
(9) If the Americas were populated by these early peoples as Archaeologist are now saying, where did they go? Is there evidence to demonstrate what happened to these people or why they and the famed Clovis culture vanished from the Earth?
(10) How and why did Ice Age Animals like the Mammoth, Nine ft. tall Gomphotheres, Three ton Giant Ground Sloths, the Sabre Tooth Cat, American Horse, American Camel and dozens of other Ice Age Mega-fuana all vanish at the same time, not only in the Americas, but all around the world?
(11) Why was Russian Siberia lush with plant and animal life while the rest of Europe, Africa and Asia were undergoing cold Ice Age Drought conditions?
(12) The Russian Siberian Mammoth Population is estimated by Scientist to have been as much as 40,000,000 million strong. How could such a cold bleak place as Russian Siberia support so many Ice Age Mega-Animals? There had to be abundant food supply for them plus enormous herds of deer, bison, horses and dozens of other Ice Age species.
(13) Do you really believe guys with rocks tied on the end of sticks killed all of these animals or did a sudden incredible climatic change kill off the first Americans and the Ice Age Animals, not only in the Americas but also around the world as well?
(14) Six foot eight inch tall, thick boned Giants found in the middle of the Sahara Desert from a time when the Sahara was green! The rest of the Neolithic humans averaged only five foot five inches tall.
(15) Do the writings of the ancient Egyptian Historian, Manetho, (the keeper of Thoth), demonstrate that the Earth underwent a 23.5 degree Tilt in 10,000B.C. exactly at the time of the destruction of Plato's Atlantis and the end of the Ice Age.
(16) According to Manetho, These ancient people didn't judge time the way we do. To them, what we call one month was one year. In Genesis, Adam lived to be 930 years old. If you divide that by twelve, Adam lived to be seventy seven yrs and six months old.
(17) Why did the people in 10,000B.C. not use the solar year of spring to spring as we do? Was it because with no 23.5 degree Earth tilt, there were no seasons as we know them. Here is a quote from Eusebius, the ancient Greek scholar,
"This as lunar years of 30 days each, for what we now call a month was called a year in those days."
(18) What is the carbon 14 dating method? How does it work?
(19) Who or what is the Clovis first theory? Why is it said the Clovis Culture was in the Americas first?
(20) Are you so Locked in to your own Geological, Archaeological and Biblical Gospels that you can't even hear evidence of another perspective?
