Slowly, painstakingly, we are still putting the pieces of the puzzle together. The more pieces we find which fit into the picture, the more pieces are thrown on the table for us; and the more colorful and dramatic the picture becomes.
Did you understand that there are three cataclysms recorded in the Bible? Noah’s, Adam and Eve’s, and the one before that? If you missed it, check Genesis II.
I wish we had the funds to dig and search for three years in Tiahuanaco. A small idea of what could be found in this prehistoric city of South America can be gained by reading two books which I have mentioned before, but will again: The Calendar of Tiahuanaco and The Great Idol of Tiahuanaco, both by tremendous researchers, Hans Schindler Bellamy and Peter Allan. The conclusions drawn by Bellamy and Allan in these monumental works are startlingly close to mine: the city has lived through at least three epochs between cataclysms, the oldest ending about 1 1,500 years ago, terminating – with a cataclysm – the period in its history when it was at sea level, and starting a period of about 5,000 years during which it was at the bottom of the Pacific; then an upheaval during the cataclysm of about 7,000 years ago when it, along with its ocean bed, was raised to its present altitude of 12,500 feet. That cataclysm produced Noah’s flood, gave birth to Niagara Falls, started the Ohio River flowing into the

Mississippi, started the Neolithic stone age, raised the level of the oceans more than two hundred feet all over the world, initiated the era of modern history all over our planet – such as that of Greece, India, and Egypt – and gave birth to The Epic of Gilgamesh, containing the story of Noah’s flood written by a Sumerian thousands of years before the Hebrews wrote about it in Genesis.
Each cataclysm is like a giant hand sweeping across the countryside, leaving its fingerprints for us to find amongst the elephant footprints of science in our search for the solution to this consuming mystery.
These fingerprints are well hidden amongst the heavy footprints of uniformitarian evidence. The two disciplines – uniformitarian geology and cataclysm ology – have no real contest between them; each has its own place in science, for they complement each other, and actually a marriage of the two schools is in order.
Some of the cataclysmic fingerprints have been mentioned in Chapter II. Let’s discuss them in more detail.
The story of frozen mammoths is intriguing indeed. No frozen mammoth was ever found in ice; all were found in frozen, homogenous muck. It used to be that you could buy frozen mammoth steaks in Alaskan restaurants, the meat had been so well preserved
