Synopsis
In Revisiting Armageddon, Ray Covill explains the after-effects of what he calls the Gulf Event: the crashing of a massive asteroid into Earth 7,500 years ago, changing our planet's history and geography. It is a fact-based account of what may have happened at the impact area and across the globe. People today have never been exposed to this sort of disaster. When the asteroid crashed into Earth and sent a 3,000-mile-long wall of water charging eastward, the consequences were severe. Covill describes in detail the ways in which it affected the land areas in its path. In the Americas, the landscape was changed when the asteroid lodged beneath the Florida peninsula. It is the cause of the mysteries of the "Bermuda Triangle." Across the Atlantic, Covill explains the story of Noah's Ark in modern scientific language, giving more plausibility to the tale. Based on factual evidence, research, and theory, Ray Covill gives an account of one of the most dramatic and Earth-changing events in history. His vast knowledge of geography, geology, astronomy, and history are put into practice in this story. Covill's practical conclusions help to make sense of real-life mysteries, science, and legends. Some of the highlights include: An Asteroid Carves Out the Gulf of Mexico Florida and Bahamas Formed Why Boats and Planes Disappear off Florida Giant Wave Crosses the Atlantic Mediterranean Plains Become a Sea Rivers in the Sahara Kinks in the Nile Sphinx Badly Damaged Salt Lakes in the Middle East When, Where, and How Noah Built his Ark Size, Location, and Fate of Atlantis
