for more info I have a web page floodlegendssorted.com and for the brave, I have a 55 minute youtube video type in "Climate Clarity Rick Pilotte" to find of click/copy this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQjgMqEPDEc
What started me writing this book? several things. Someone said to me Adam had an IQ of 1000. I didn't think this was realistic, but based on creation theory and thus things being originally created perfect, it could in theory be possible. So for fun I did some research to see if there was any evidence of any extremely advanced civilization in ancient history. My starting point was a movie I had seen around 1974 The Chariots of the Gods based on Erich Von Daniken's Book and a tiny turquoise bead shown in that movie being my only clue. I read his books and bibliographies for more references and spread out from there. I've always been a whiz at figuring out complex puzzles so I set my mind to work on ancient mysteries.
I also wondered what it would be like to see an asteroid hit the earth from an orbiting space station, and this was like revelation in it's magnitude. What if man in the past had space travel... just guess where this led.
My search for advanced technology in ancient times found many examples and I started to see a picture form that wasn't expected...so vast in nature and alarming in magnitude, I started taking notes and realized I had to let the world see what I was discovering. In 1988 I officially started 19 years of research which led to the 1st edition (Plus years of information I had gathered up to that point) and another 10 years of, more research after publishing which I included in my 2017 edition which is now fully illustrated) I include here one simple drawing in my book based on one of Zachariah Sitchen's drawing that proved something about the pyramids I had written in my first editions. Sitchen misinterpreted this drawing. (I've also included a multi image version of all the drawings in the book so you know what your getting that way too) My book among other things explains this and solves many ancient mysteries, including what caused the flood, what were the pyramids used for, what started the break up of the continents, where did the flood water go after the flood, what is the origin of different races, who are the "gods", who or what are the UFO's and I found their origins. How old is the earth, and can you prove it, What happened to the dinosaurs...and what didn't. What happened to the 5th planet to create the asteroid belt... what causes the disappearances in the Bermuda triangle areas of the world, invisibility....and on and on.
Devolution was the key that unlocked ancient history and the theory of evolution is like a pair of blinders that obscures the truth. That may be hard to swallow for evolution believeres, but dare to try it.
I had some serious struggles as I had to overturn many of my own theories and beliefs as I dug deeper. I hope you find the effort worthy of your time and money to buy my book. I still read it as there is so much information in there that it still amazes me what is in here...and I wrote the thing!
I've added the images of the new cover and back cover of my book here so you see what you should get if you buy and see the first earlier cover shown. If you have an older edition feel free to contact me for the 3rd edition updates with new cover and all the illustrations for free. (I'm also the artist for my book)I'm on facebook in Victoria BC under Rick Pilotte
You can also see some of my letters published in Atlantis Rising magazine by doing an internet search of my title, or however it's done. (I've had I think 5 published to date)
Some of the books and authors that helped with some key information were Charles Hapgood Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, Immanuel Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval, Wallace Budge (Book of the dead) , The Hollow Earth by Raymond Bernard and many more.
Folks welcome and I now have a new book, which came about as some of the research I did for my first book when I realized both the Global flood and the massive local floods could both be proved. Books that deal with the flood either assume all the flood legends prove the global flood thus substantiating the bible, or that somehow they just indicate many local floods that just affected the "world" of the people that experienced them. But when I realized the Hopi legend described a massive continent crossing tsunami was substantiated by their underground actually being found I realized this book had to be written.
