Bert Thurlings goes in search of the truth behind human history. He starts his quest very simply by investigating what we actually know about the many remarkable megalithic stone constructions that can be seen all over the world. He soon discovers that something is not right: dates are unproven and what technology was used remains a mystery. Thurlings searches further and ends up in the literature on Sumer and other countries. Everywhere the same story emerges: world catastrophes and 'gods' who may or may not come to the rescue. With ease they fly back and forth, and up. What is it with these gods? If these catastrophes could be scientifically proven, might it also be true of these flying gods, Thurlings wonders. It forces him to investigate the climate studies and that brings him to ice cores and climate models. Kyoto is nonsense, but there have been many catastrophes in antiquity, and even to the point where Plato was completely correct in his timing of the demise of Atlantis. There is more to come to the surface that science would rather not think about too long: the globe is extremely unstable. It's like a cup of coffee with a milk sheet on top. At the slightest tap, the whole thing shifts. For several thousand years now, that coffee-milk sheet has been lying still, but before that it was unstable for thousands of years. Constantly, things were turned upside down. The gods then made their way out. Thurlings digs deep and his conclusion is that our thinking must change: man was helped in antiquity, but by whom?
