Atlantis was overwhelmed by floods and earthquakes during the ending of the last ice age, when massive glaciers were melting and as a result sea levels were rising. The earths crust was also flexing in an attempt to adjust to the massive decrease in the weight of the ice (much of the ice cap was 2 to 3 miles thick). Such geophysical activity could easily trigger violent earthquakes, subsidence, and massive floods. If an axial variation was also involved, as some geologists are coming to believe, there would also be massive volcanism (for which there is reliable scientific support, even though Plato doesnt include it) and unimaginable tidal waves raging over land masses of the earth—to say nothing of gale force winds blasting at speeds in the neighborhood of 100 miles per hour over most of the surface of the globe. Whatever the case, it is becoming abundantly clear scientifically that the end of the last ice age was anything but smooth and gradual. If Plato invented the story of Atlantis, he was unbelievably lucky to date its demise when he did, since he knew nothing of ice ages
