Rand Flem-Ath - Atlantis in Antarctica, Solar Typhoons, The Piri Reis Map & the Mappa Mundi
August 25, 2009
Rand Flem-Ath (the surname is a portmanteau of his and his wife's surnames) is an author and pseudo-scientist. Rand & Rose Flem-Ath, authors of When the Sky Fell: Atlantis in Antarctica, The Atlantis Blueprint, The Forbidden Manuscript and Field of Thunder. In the summer of 1976, when they first began to explore the idea of Antarctica as the site of Atlantis, the notion that civilization and climate were intimately connected was not part of the cultural template. More than three decades later, the daily impact of global warming reminds us just how easily the fragile web of civilization can be torn when nature rebels. Radical climatic change is not something new. Stories of catastrophic earthquakes, floods and a lost paradise fill the pages of world mythology. Today's obsession with 'progress' – a straight line from one accomplishment to another – blinds us to the lost realities of our past. Their research reveals a legacy closer to the ideas of the ancients. They spoke of the earth's past as a story filled with shocking turmoil and hard-fought survival. Rand joins us for a discussion about Antarctica, Atlantis, the mystery of the Piri Reis map, the lost map of Christopher Columbus, Mappa Mundi and earth's shifting crust.
