It is surprising how much truth there is in ancient civilisations mythology, when looked upon with poetry glasses off and applying evidence from modern science like Carbon14.dating, ice core climate research, dendrochronology of tree rings, DNA population trails. Isotope detection,geology, satellite photography and so on
Both the catastrophic event that started the 1200 year long cold period Younger Dryas in 10940 BCE, that the roman historian Ovid writes about in the myth of Phaethon and the event that ended the cold period and changed the climate suddenly in 9703 BCE can be proven with geology with carbon14 dating and ice core research. This event coincides with Plato´s myth about Atlantis sinking beneath the ocean. Read about the evidence in Omnilogi & Omnipedia pages
