Review: The best book I have seen on the subject - I am very interested in earth's past and the untold history of our species. And this book surpasses everything I have seen to date. It's erudite, and comprehensive. The author's break new ground in many areas. I can't relate to the debunker's claim of pseudo science. That's become the mantra of dogmatists, of late, those who prefer not to look at the anomalous data. The flowers found in the mouths of the frozen Siberian mammoths and mastodons and other evidence of flora adapted to a temperate climate rules out the possibility that some of the carcasses date to 30-45,000 years. No, 11,500 years BP must be the actual date. The idea they were frozen mummies does not compute with the anecdotal reports that the flesh was fresh enough for humans and dogs to eat. The debunker has attempted to trivialize this extremely important evidence. Also, the debunker fails to understand the distinction between precession and the earth's 23 degree tilt. The two are separate characteristics. But back to the authors: one of their biggest contributions is their provocative suggestion that the earth's axis was more vertical to the ecliptic (the plane of the orbiting planets in the solar system)prior to the cataclysm. They suggest the earth gained its 23 1/2 degree tilt in the encounter with Marduk (Phaeton). This could explain how the polar regions were more temperate before, because a vertical earth (they assert) would have a smaller polar cap. We will have to wait and see if this turns out to be correct. I especially loved the way the authors compare and relate the geological record with the record of the great literary epics, the Edda, the Kalevala, the Avesta, Vedas, Bible, etc. Their understanding of the classics is phenomenal -- and asute. I learned a great deal and will rely on their interpretations in the future. I do have several critical comments. I was disapointed that the authors never discussed Charles Hapgood's contribution regarding the shifting of earth's crust. They mention this as one of the effects of an encounter with Marduk, but no not include adequate discussion. A crustal shift would of course explain why the orientation of the pyramids and ancient sites of meso America are aligned east of north -- a fact no one has ever explained. Obviously, these sites are older than N-S aligned Giza and thus are human testaments that the crust really did move. The authors are in my opinion wrong that all of earth's mountain ranges were low hills before the Phaeton disaster. If this were true, how to explain the alpine flora: wild flowers, liverworts, grasses, mosses and lichens? I agree that much mountain building occurred at this time, but not all. Nor do the authors ever finally succeed in explaining the Greenland ice sheet. It remains a mystery. The author's astutely conclude that a comet could not have caused the Phaeton disaster, because a cube of ice does not have the necessary mass to cause the gravity induced effects. However, Allan and Delair are unaware of scientist Jim McCanney's Plasma Discharge Comert Model, which is in process of revolutionizing our understanding of comets. If McCanney is correct, comets are not dirty snowballs, but are asteroidal and can be extremely large. We will know more next summmer when NASA's Deep Impact space probe causes a collision with the comet Tempel 1 -- an attempt to confirm the ice model. When NASA fails to find the ice, it will be time to junk the current model. No doubt about it, Phaeton was a comet! Despite these criticisms, I heartily recommend this book. We have barely begun to understand the mind boggling power and wonder of the cosmos...
Review: A remarkable book examining an ancient historical and Biblical event. - The only book I have ever read that deals with actual biblical events in the age of the Book of Genesis. Our science is finally advanced enough to give us a glimpse of a true world calamity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book I have seen on the subject
*by M***Y on February 15, 2005*

I am very interested in earth's past and the untold history of our species. And this book surpasses everything I have seen to date. It's erudite, and comprehensive. The author's break new ground in many areas. I can't relate to the debunker's claim of pseudo science.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mixed Bag But Thought Provoking
*by D***N on March 5, 2012*

This rating is misleading because the book is really a combination of a one, two, three, four and five star book. For starters, do yourself a favor and read parts 3-the end first, then part 2 and finally part 1. Because organizationally the book is a 2-star and the writing in part 1 is hard to understand unless you like reading the encyclopedia. Part 1 is an exhaustive and exhausting history of geological research designed to prove how much the writers know and how bad they are at communicating it. So, unless you are a Ph.D., skip part 1, which I rate as a 1 star, until the end. Second, the book gets a five star for assembling data that is not well known, even today 15 years after publication. Similar to Sitchin or Drunvalo, the writers do a good job of finding data to support what would otherwise be a very exotic theory of global disaster in the recent past. However, the book does only a four star job of convincing the reader of the thesis that it all happened very quickly and dramatically because the dates can only be reduced to a span of time that is 4000 years long (from 10,000 years ago to 14,000 years ago). They use the average of the dates to make the argument that it all happened at once. I would have given this aspect of the book an even lower rating if it wasn't for the fact that they do a very good job of showing broad evidence for global episodes that did significant violence to the biosphere, suggesting that something very sudden and cataclysmic occurred. Finally this book gets a three star for the relevance of the data. While the data is sufficient to support their arguments, they fail to use enough up to data and competing data to make their points stronger. In other words, they cherry pick from the scientific record. In summary, the book is compelling, as the title suggests, but not completely convincing. I am convinced that the ice age did not happen as predominant theories suggest. So they do a good job of debunking predominant theories. But I am not convinced that Earth history enfolded in the way they suggest. For example a period of extensive volcanic activity can explain a good deal of the evidence. If the writers were lawyers arguing their case, they could easily win a civil case where you only need a "preponderance of the evidence". But the higher standard in criminal cases of "beyond a shadow of a doubt" is too high a standard for this book. Overall "Cataclysm" is an entertaining and educational read.
