Ancient Catastrophes and Forgotten Civilizations takes readers on a gripping journey into humanity's deepest past, where myth and science converge to reveal a world shaped by fire, flood, and upheaval. For centuries, legends of deluges, fiery skies, and vanishing lands were dismissed as fantasy. Yet modern geology, archaeology, and climatology now confirm what ancient storytellers preserved: Earth has always been a restless planet, and civilizations have risen and fallen under its violent hand.
From the cataclysmic eruption of Toba to the collapse of Santorini's volcano that may echo in the tale of Atlantis, from the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis to the drowning of Doggerland and the Black Sea flood, this book uncovers the scientific truths hidden in myths across cultures. Aboriginal Dreamtime, Norse Ragnarok, and Native American flood stories are revealed as not just allegories, but memory archives - living records of events that reshaped landscapes and societies.
Blending mythological analysis with cutting-edge science, Ancient Catastrophes and Forgotten Civilizations reframes humanity's oldest stories as survival manuals from the past. It is a chronicle of disasters that forged resilience, innovation, and cultural memory - and a timely reminder that the forces which shaped our ancestors still surround us today.
