Ragnarok: The Age Of Fire And Gravel

The book proposes a catastrophic theory for the end of the last ice age suggesting that the Earth was struck by a comet causing widespread destruction and upheaval. Donnelly was an American politician lawyer and writer who had a keen interest in ancient history and mythology. In Ragnarok he draws on a range of sources including scientific evidence ancient myths and geological data to argue that the Earth was once hit by a comet which led to a global catastrophe that destroyed much of civilization at the time. The book presents a detailed analysis of the evidence supporting Donnellys theory including geological evidence of widespread floods the presence of comet fragments in various locations around the world and ancient myths and legends describing catastrophic events. While Donnellys theory has been largely discredited by modern science Ragnarok remains a fascinating and thought-provoking work offering a unique perspective on the ancient history of the Earth and the possible causes of past global catastrophes.
