Are Northern Europeans more pure descendants
of the Atlanteans than their Mediterranean counterparts?

J. FLOOD, EARTHQUAKES, VOLCANIC ERUPTION AND FINAL DESTRUCTION.

ANCIENT MYTHS TALK ABOUT CATACLYSMS WITH CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. THE STORY MAY HAVE BEEN TOLD AND RETOLD THROUGH COUNTLESS GENERATIONS. THE WAY IN WHICH IT IS TOLD MAY CHANGE, BUT THE GENERAL MEANING USUALLY REMAINS THE SAME. WE MAY NEVER KNOW WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED.

THE CLIMATE IN SOUTHERN EUROPE WAS CHANGING DUE TO THE RETREATING OF THE ICE SHEETS TO THE NORTH. THE WATER LEVEL WAS INCREASING IN THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN BASIN FORCING DOWN THE SEABED BELOW. THE EARTH CRUST FAULT THAT RUNS EAST-WEST THROUGH THE MEDITERRANEAN AND WHICH IS CREATED BY THE COLLISION AND SUBDUCTION OF THE AFRICAN UNDER THE EUROPEAN TECTONIC PLATE WAS CREATING EARTHQUAKES.

THE FORCE OF THE LITHOSPHERE ON THE MAGNA BELOW CAUSED THE MAGNA TO MOVE UPWARD THROUGH THE WEAKENED FAULT AREAS OF EXISTING OR NEWLY CREATED VOLCANOES. . THE NOW DORMANT VOLCANO ON THE PRESENT DAY HELLENIC ISLAND OF THERA (SANTORINI) ERUPTED WITH FAR GREATER FORCE THAN THAT OF KRAKATOA IN 1883 (WHOSE EXPLOSION WAS PRACTICALLY HEARD AROUND THE WORLD). KRAKATOA CREATED A FORTY METER HIGH TIDAL WAVE (TSUNAMI). . THE TIDAL WAVE THAT WAS CREATED BY THE VOLCANIC ERUPTION OF THERA MUST HAVE BEEN AT LEAST AS HIGH OR EVEN HIGHER THAN THAT OF KRAKATOA. THIS TIDAL WAVE NOT ONLY HAD AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT NEAR THE COASTAL AREAS, BUT ALSO DESTROYED ANY ATLANTEAN SETTLEMENTS CAUSING GREAT LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE. . "PLATO" TELLS US THAT BESIDES THE FLOOD AND EARTHQUAKES THERE WERE LANDSLIDES ALSO. LAND SLIDES OCCUR NOT ONLY DURING EARTH TREMORS BUT ALSO WHEN THE SOFT-SLOPED GROUND IS SATURATED WITH WATER DUE TO HEAVY, CONTINUOUS RAIN.
