Ante-diluvian — before the Flood Post-diluvian — after the Flood Tholiform The Polynesian name for the garden of Eden, the place of origin of Mankind. Kane is from Can, Cain or Cahen, meaning Serpent. Many of the previously-cited traditions refer unmistakably to various antediluvian structures (for exam- ple, houses, temples, towers, canals), land vehicles (carts, chariots), aquatic vessels (rafts, canoes, and arks), and implements (ploughs, bows, arrows, spades). The evidence is perfectly unambiguous. Along with the removal of an “Ice Age,” like that which has been hitherto commonly envisaged, the evidence suggests that there is something seriously amiss with the last phases of standard geological chronology. (p. 134) It is obvious...that despite their apparent accuracy, radiocarbon dates are actually anything but pre- cise...(p. 172) It is widely agreed that, towards the close of Pleistocene times, profound climactic deterioration occurred worldwide. Numerous life forms previously dominant or very prolific either became extinct or greatly depleted numerically (p. 56) We are not dealing with a single, isolated relict but with a considerable variety of Pleistocene forms, all of which must be accorded, in the light of cultural evidence, an approximately similar time of extinc- tion. (quote from Prof. L C Eisley, p. 56) In Europe immense herds of diverse animals utterly vanished off the face of the Earth for no obvious biological reason. (p. 56) Coincident with this dreadful slaughter upon the land was the deposition of myriads of contemporary marine shells, and the stranding at great elevations of marine mammals, porpoises, walruses, and seals. (p. 57) It looks as though in the midst of some cataclysmic catastrophe of ten thousand years ago the whole Alaskan world of living animals and plants was suddenly frozen in mid-motion in a grim charade. (p. 58) Evidence thus converges from numerous directions to support the conclusion that, on the testimony of radio-carbon and other dating techniques, immense physical and climatic changes occurred on Earth 166 Appendix B: Book Abstracts When the Earth Nearly Died by Allan and Delair The upright axis of the earth, prior to the tilt.
