Great flood
From times of the Old Testament, people heard about the Great flood, however, very few people trusted this legend, because it was absolutely not clear, where such mass of water has come from and where it has disappeared. It is logical to assume, that the Great flood was the end of the Ice Age.
When it was?
1. The graphs of Antarctic ice cores study show, that the abrupt warming occurred about 12 thousand years ago (see the upper graph).
About a same time, a global sea level rose by ~70 m, to the current level of 0 m.
2. Around the same period, as some researchers believe, the mass death of mammoths occurred.
3. Probably, the flood has caused the death of the previous civilization. Plato, who lived around 400 BC, states, that Atlantis perished 9.5 thousand years ago. If we add our 2000 years, then 9.5 + 0.4 + 2 = 11.9 thousand years ago.
4. Edgar Cayce, in the reading 5750-1 dated November 12, 1933, stated: "From time as counted in the present we would turn back to 10,600 years before the Prince of Peace came into the land of promise, and find a civilization being disturbed by corruption from within to such measures that the elements join in bringing devastation to a stiffnecked and adulterous people."[3] 10,600 years before Christ 1933 will be 12.533, rounded to 12.5 thousand years.
These four independent coincidences give reasons to believe, that date is approximately right. Cayce indicates the fall of morality as the cause. However, there must be a physical mechanism of the past global catastrophe.
Various versions can be assumed as the explanation of abrupt climate warming. The most probable reason of the climate warming may be periodic passages of a large celestial body near the Earth, for example, a long-periodic comet. Arising between them a gravity force can be the cause of displacement of the Earth concerning poles and fluctuation of axis. As a consequence, the cold zones could be shifted to warmer latitudes and continental glaciers have melted. Glaciers are "refrigerators" of the Earth. Reduction of glaciers has given way to the global climate warming on the planet.
The picture Ice of Antarctica [4] shows, that the maximum height of the glacier is not at the South Pole, but it is shifted. The entire glacier is shifted with respect to the pole. The Antarctica map shows, that the maximum height has shifted relative to the pole at about 15° and coincides with the geomagnetic pole. This may be the proof, that sometime in the past a displacement of the Earth concerning axis has happened.
Probably, the orbit of a comet is not constant. Sometimes it can pass closer, sometimes farther from the Earth, and warming may be more or less intense, accordingly. Probably, once in 100-120 thousand years, the comet passes very close from the Earth. This can explain periodicity of warming.
Variation of planet position has happened very quickly, by Plato – in one day. The consequences of it were earthquakes and continental plate displacement. The glaciers could not melt during one day, as this process required several weeks. The global sea level had been rising gradually and flooded the low coasts of continents and low islands. The ancient sunk cities are found everywhere, in Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans. The flood destroyed everything in its way. Only mountains could resist flood, but there were also melting glaciers on the tops of the mountains and avalanches have been falling from the mountains. Map of the Earth became like we see it today.
Plato in the dialogue "Timaeus" describes the Great Flood: "… But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island."[5]
Not only Atlantis, but many other cities were flooded by the Great Flood. Flooded cities are found off the coast of Turkey, Greece, in the Black Sea, off the coast of the Japanese island of Okinawa. The pyramids are found at the bottom of the American Rock Lake, which age is estimated about 10 thousand years. On the shores of the Indian state of Gujarat, the city of Dwarka is found – the legendary city, the capital of the Kingdom of Krishna, is one of the seven oldest cities in India. Dvarka, located at a distance of 30 km, on the shore of the bay, was discovered in the Arabian Sea at a depth of 7 meters. Its estimated age is 12 thousand years.
As a result of a flood, the risen level of World Ocean flooded islands of Atlantis. One of the flooded cities with pyramids, a sphinx and other structures has been found in the area of Bermuda triangle, at a distance of 700 m to the east from Cuba. This huge Empire had colonies in South and North America, in Africa and Europe. Probably, all pyramids on Earth built by residents of Atlantis. Underwater photos of a sunken civilization can be seen by clicking the link: underwater towns [6]. Atlantis was a highly developed civilization. Perhaps, the anomalous phenomena in the Bermuda triangle are somehow connected with the sunken cities.
