The Biggest Secret - The book that will change the world - David Icke

Everywhere. Some speak of great heat which boiled the sea; of mountains breathing
fire; the disappearance of the Sun and Moon and the darkness that followed; the raining
down of blood, ice and rock; the Earth flipping over; the sky falling; the rising and
sinking of land; the loss of a great continent; the coming of the ice; and virtually all of
them describe a fantastic flood, a wall of water, which swept across the Earth. The tidal
wave caused by the comet in the film, Deep Impact, gives you an idea of what it would
have been like. Old Chinese texts describe how the pillars supporting the sky crumbled;
of how the Sun, Moon and stars poured down in the north-west, where the sky became
low; rivers, seas and oceans rushed to the south-east where the Earth sank and a great
conflagration was quenched by a raging flood. In America, the Pawnee Indians tell the
same story of a time when the north and south polar stars changed places and went to
visit each other. North American traditions refer to great clouds appearing and a heat so
powerful that the waters boiled. The Greenland Eskimos told early missionaries that
long ago the Earth turned over. Peruvian legend says that the Andes were split apart
when the sky made war with the Earth. Brazilian myth describes how the heavens burst
and fragments fell down killing everything and everyone as heaven and Earth changed
places. And the Hopi Indians of North America record that: “the Earth was rent in great
chasms, and water covered everything except one narrow ridge of mud”. 9
All of this closely correlates with the legends of Atlantis and Mu or Lemuria: two
vast continents, one in the Atlantic and the other in the Pacific, which many people
believe were ruled by highly advanced races. The continents are said to have
disappeared under the sea in the circumstances described above, leaving only islands
like the Azores as remnants of their former scale and glory. Atlantis was described by
Plato (427-347 BC), the ancient Greek philosopher and high initiate of the secret
society-mystery school network. To this day this secret network has passed on much
knowledge to the chosen few while denying that privilege to the mass of the people.
Official history dismisses Plato’s contention that such a continent existed and there are
apparent historical discrepancies in his accounts, but there is geological support for his
basic theme. The Azores, which some believe were part of Atlantis, lie on the Mid-
Atlantic Ridge which is connected to a fracture line that encircles the planet (see Figure
3). This line continues for a distance of 40,000 miles. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is one of
the foremost areas for earthquakes and volcanoes. Four vast tectonic plates, the
Eurasian, African, North American and Caribbean, all meet and collide in this region
making it very unstable geologically. Both the Azores and the Canary Islands (named
after dogs ‘canine’ and not canaries!), were subject to widespread volcanic activity in
the time period Plato suggested for the end of Atlantis. Tachylite lava disintegrates in
sea water within 15,000 years and yet it is still found on the sea bed around the Azores,
confirming geologically-recent upheavals. 10 Other evidence, including beach sand
gathered from depths of 10,500-18,440 feet, reveals that the seabed in this region must
have been, again geologically-recently, above sea level. 11 The oceanographer, Maurice
Ewing, wrote in National Geographic magazine that: “Either the land must have sunk
two or three miles, or the sea must once have been two or three miles lower than now.
