Oh I love him! I hadn’t heard of this series but would love to see it. I read his book, UnderWorld. He did an excellent job presenting theory and facts supporting the idea that humans have been way more advanced in history than we’ve been told. Proposing the shift of plates on the earth’s crust caused some areas to flood and others to rise. Since we mainly settle and therefore develop on coastal land, when that is flooded, civilization takes a step back. He had a geographer use the computer to map the land mass back in time & allowed the land to tell the story. For instance, sunken cities like off the coast of India and Cuba. Or huge boulders that go through the West, that had to be put there by rushing waters. On and on, he’s done so much research. If we only look at the pyramids around the world and the fact that we still can’t explain how to build them, or that granite is cut to perfect right angles or what I’ve seen myself which is perfect drill holes in granite in Peru.
I've been seeing more and more proof of the big flood come out around the world. The Grand Canyon shows fast erosion, not slow, for example. And if the flood was real, if Giants are real, if Sodom and Gomorrah were real...
There is good geologic evidence to support the flooding. Paleoclimate is the study of the Earth's climate over geologic time (my degree was in geophysics).
Temperature data over hundreds of millions of years comes from isotope ratios in fossilized shells, and on a shorter timeframe of hundreds of thousands of years from isotope ratios in ice from glaciers (Greenland and Antarctica).
The Earth is currently in an icehouse climate overall, but in a short period of warm temperatures called an interglacial.
Interglacials are geologically brief periods of warm temperatures, about halfway between the extremes of hothouse and icehouse. They last anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 years on average. We are currently in the latter part of an interglacial that began approx. 11,000 years ago. The name of our current interglacial is the Holocene.
During the ice age, ocean levels were about 400 feet lower than they are currently due to all the water locked up in continental ice sheets. The ice of the continental ice sheets melt during the warm interglacials, and ocean levels rise as a result. This is the source of the flooding people are talking about.
As one example, during the ice age, the area that is now the south china sea was one of the best places on Earth to live, but is now under 150 feet of water (which would have been 250 feet above sea level during the ice age). That entire subcontinent flooded and became a shallow sea.
Bottom line: the stories about flooding are real, and occurred roughly 11,000 years ago at the start of our current interglacial. Sea levels rose 400 feet globally during this period due to the melting of the continental ice sheets.
