{"product_id":"atlantis-rising-patrick-chouinard-9798232604820","title":"Atlantis Rising: The Black Sea Flood \u0026 The Quest for the Lost Civilization","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the shadow of Mount Ararat-before Abraham, before Gilgamesh-5,600 years ago, the Mediterranean surged north. A freshwater lake that had sat quietly for millennia suddenly became the Black Sea, rising seven feet a day. Villages vanished. Cattle drowned. Farmers fled with their seeds. The Ryan-Pitman hypothesis isn't fringe: it's pollen cores, drowned shorelines, freshwater snails locked under salt crust. This book follows that diaspora-how the flood didn't just wipe out a valley, it seeded the world's oldest myths. Sumer's ark. Noah's wine. The drowned gods of Anatolia. Step by step, we trace the escape routes: up the Danube, along the Dnieper, into the steppes. We see Göbekli Tepe's last hunters abandon their stones, maybe even build them as warnings. And when the waters settled? A genetic bottleneck-exactly where we find it. A linguistic echo-heaven-high floods in Proto-Indo-European. Even the Bible's cubits line up, once you convert. A cyclopean accumulation of sediment, satellite imagery, and stubborn hope. No sermons. Just maps, dates, and the quiet terror of realizing the flood wasn't myth-it was Monday morning for someone. If you ever wondered why so many cultures draw the same drowning dream, start here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Chouinard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798232604820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Renaissance Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.22d","brand":"Patrick Chouinard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47761296752895,"sku":"9798232604820","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16634c7e-1a8a-4583-89a2-34cfefe69cbe.jpg?v=1765514947","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/atlantis-rising-patrick-chouinard-9798232604820","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
