Bruce Cornet, Cydonia Report, (Figures 27: When the Sky Fell),

On Inside Cover of Jacket

Has Atlantis finally been found? When the Sky Fell presents some startling - and convincing - evidence that it has. That, in fact, Antarctica is the lost continent of Atlantis.

Rand and Rose Flem-Ath base their theory on the work of Professor Charles Hapgood, who in the 1950s proposed that the earth underwent an earth crust displacement, a violent upheaval of tidal waves and earth quakes that overturned civilization and shifted the continents into their current positions. Siberia's ice-encapsulated mammoths and the origins of the earliest civilizations are just two of the scientific mysteries traced to a terrible, global catastrophe at about 9600 B.C.: when the sky fell.

With the theory of earth crust displacement, the Flem-Aths examine the clues in a new light. they are helped by ancient maps that show parts of the world, including North America, South America, and ice-free Antarctica, long before they had been drawn by European explorers. The Flem-Aths show that these ancient maps represent earth as it was before the last earth crust displacement, when North America was under ice and a third of Antarctica was ice-free.

By examining the puzzles whose answers have eluded us to this day, the Flem-Aths present evidence that points to an advanced culture wiped out by a geological catastrophe, whose pockets of survivors re-established their lives all over the world.

These puzzles include:

The sudden rise of agriculture on different continents following the climatic changes of 9600 B.C.

The possible water erosion of the Sphinx.

The similarity of ancient myths of natives about the sun, great floods, volcanoes, and earthquakes throughout the world.

Plato's sixteen clues as to the location of Atlantis.

With a unique blend of science, mythology, and historical and fictionalized accounts, the Flem-Aths engage readers in a fascinating speculation that Antarctica is the lost continent of Atlantis. They show reason to believe that we are not the first advance civilization to inhabit the world.
