Atlantis, the Mammoth, and the Flood

Atlantis, The Mammoth and the Flood is an extraordinary journey through myth, science, and memory-an epic that unites the lost world of Plato's Atlantis with the frozen giants of the Ice Age and the great flood legends that echo across civilizations. Moving from the tundras of Siberia to the depths of the Atlantic, the narrative uncovers how humanity has always sought to explain catastrophe - from the bones of mammoths mistaken for buried dragons, to the drowned continents remembered in sacred texts and ancient maps.

Through vivid storytelling and rich historical reconstruction, this book traces how folklore, geology, and archaeology intertwine. It explores the forgotten ivory trade that first revealed mammoth remains to the modern world; the scientific revolutions of Cuvier and Lyell; and the enduring tension between faith and evidence in the age-old debate over the Flood. At its heart lies a haunting question: were the tales of Atlantis and the Deluge distant memories of real events-of a world that froze, flooded, and fell into silence?

Blending scientific insight with mythic resonance, Atlantis, The Mammoth and the Flood restores the grandeur of deep time to the human story. It is both an elegy for lost worlds and a revelation of how the earth itself preserves its own myths-written not in ink, but in bone, ice, and stone.
