Here we are at 40+ posts and no-one has mentioned Atlantis yet.
Go here for the latest update on the underwater site off the coast of Cuba.

Oh, you found it. Being only around 140 pages it gives the reader a wonderful instant global look at the US northeast over millions of years and makes one wonder what moving continents might have left behind.

Fascinating. Anyone catch the Discovery Channel (I think) program on mega-tsunamis the other day? They mentioned a distaster of just this sort on the coast of India.

"Fascinating. Anyone catch the Discovery Channel (I think) program on mega-tsunamis the other day? They mentioned a distaster of just this sort on the coast of India." Yup. I saw that for the second time.
I read an interesting article sometime back that speculates about the prehistoric South Americans making moves from the coastal areas to inland regions just to get away from tsunamis. I may have something in the GGG files on this, I'll go look. (something about meteorite impacts in the Pacific Ocean)
BTW, just read last night that meteorite impacts into water causes the climate to get warm and wet while those on land causes cold and dry conditions.

I found something that may have caused a 400 foot tidal wave. This is from a book I'm presently reading.
"Alexander and Edith Tollmann, geologists at the University of Virginia, have argued that a series of large ocean impacts, coupled with smaller land collisions, in the middle of the eighth millennium BC is the cause of Noah's Flood... Greenland ice-core data and tree-rings show that something major did happen right at the time the Tollmanns propose. A very strong acid layer has been dated to 7630BC (+-170 years)"
They go on to propose: "...the Tollmanns argue that a comet with seven large fragments struck the world's oceans more or less simultaneously in the Tasman Sea southeast of Australia, in the South China Sea, in the west-central Indian Ocean, in the North Atlantic, in the central Atlantic south of the Azores, in the Pacific off Central America, and farther south in the Pacific just west of Tierra del Fuego. The impacts set up giant tsunamis...."
Looks like this could be a possible source of a giant tsunami in the correct time frame, huh.

Interesting story about Ireland's snakes. I've only read two of his lesser known books but I understand he's written a number of them and one was made into a movie.
Thanks for finding his site, I'm going to check it out.
