Ancient oral traditions from scores of cultures describe how a golden age disappeared with appalling devastation, which is supported by archaeological, botanical, astronomical and geological evidence. The findings have some relevance for present world changes.

A book that challenges the accepted scientific theories regarding earths recent geological past. It presents detailed evidence of a global catastrophe from approx. 11500 years ago, one that came close to destroying the planet and took the few who survived it back to the stone age. It also investigates how this event has been captured in the mythologies of many ancient cultures from all corners of the globe. A fascinating read that makes you think.
