Atlantis Rising

In this island, Atlantis, arose a great and marvelous might of kings… But in later time, after there had been exceeding great earthquakes and floods, there fell one day and night of destruction; and the warriors… were swallowed up by the earth, and in like manner did the island Atlantis sink beneath the sea and vanish away.

—Plato, Timaeus, dated at approximately 600 B.C.

One can hardly doubt that significant shifts of the earth's crust have taken place repeatedly…

—Albert Einstein, in correspondence to Charles Hapgood,
