There were three worldwide super-floods, 15,000, 11,600, and 8,700 years ago, periods marked respectively by the freezing of Antarctica, the arrival of Cro-Magnon man in Europe, and the destruction of Atlantis according to Plato. This book posits that the first flood caused the original Atlantean diaspora out of Antarctica, leading to migrations to South America and Europe, both of which suffered their own subsequent inundation.
