Descendants of Legendary Atlantis
by
Constantin Benetatos
Are Northern Europeans more pure descendants
of the Atlanteans than their Mediterranean counterparts?
H. END OF GLACIATION.
WHEN THE ICE AGE FINALLY CAME TO AN END, THE ICE SHEETS
COVERING THE POLAR AREAS STARTED TO RETREAT.
IT MAY HAVE TAKEN TENS, HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS OF YEARS FOR
THE RISING WATER OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN TO SPILL OVER AT THE PILLARS OF
HERACLES AND INTO THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN BASIN AT AN EVER INCREASING
RATE.
IT ALSO MUST HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL YEARS FOR THE WATER LEVEL IN THE
WESTERN BASIN TO RISE ENOUGH TO START SPILLING OVER AND INTO THE
EASTERN PART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.
AS THE ICE STARTED RETREATING, THE BARREN LANDSCAPE OF NORTHERN
EUROPE STARTED TO BE COLONIZED ONCE MORE, FIRST BY PLANTS THEN INSECTS
AND BIRDS, AND LATER BY OTHER ANIMALS
