The Three Ages of Atlantis reveals that there was not one but three Atlantises: the first in Antarctica, the second in South America, and the third in the Mediterranean.

This book examines geological evidence of super-floods from 15,000, 11,600, and 8,700 years ago. It shows how these flood dates directly parallel the freezing of Antarctica, the migrations of Cro-Magnon men, and the destruction of Atlantis according to Plato.

15,000 years ago, the Earth's axis tilted, shifting the geographic poles. Volcanoes erupted, the icecaps melted, and the seas rose dramatically. Antarctica was enveloped in ice, destroying the advanced civilisation of prehistory: Atlantis. But before the survivors could reestablish what they had lost, catastrophe struck again, twice.

Uniting scientific findings with theories on the location of Atlantis, the authors reveal the existence of these three distinct Atlantises. They examine paleoclimatology data to show that Antarctica was temperate 15,000 years ago and home to the original Atlantis.

Exploring geological evidence of three worldwide super-floods, the authors demonstrate how these dates align with historical events like the freezing of Antarctica, the arrival of Cro-Magnon man in Europe, and the destruction of Atlantis according to Plato.

The authors uncover the influence of the Atlanteans in Proto-Indo-European languages and in massive ancient monuments aligned with the stars. They show how the founders of civilisation in early myths were part of the Atlantean diaspora, splitting into two major movements: Latin America, and Europe and Asia.

Following the Atlanteans from a warm Antarctica up to Peru, Mexico, and the Mediterranean, the book reveals that Cro-Magnon men are the people of Atlantis and that we are just now returning to their advanced levels of science, technology, and spirituality.
