1. 1. Ragnarok

   The Age of Fire and Gravel

   

   A 19th-century polemic combining geology, mythology and speculation to argue that a catastrophic cometary encounter once struck Earth, producing widespread fires, floods and masses of gravel and erratic boulders that reshaped climates and landscapes and wiped out advanced prehistoric civilizations; the work marshals contemporary geological observations and parallels among flood- and fire-myths to support a single devastating global upheaval as the source of many mysterious deposits and lost cultural memories.

2. 2. Atlantis

   The Antediluvian World

   

   A polemical 19th-century work that argues for the existence of an advanced prehistoric civilization in the Atlantic whose destruction by a cataclysmic flood scattered survivors who became the founders of later cultures; the author assembles comparative mythology, linguistics, archaeology, and geologic speculation to trace common symbols, flood legends, and technological parallels among Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and the Americas, claiming these point to a single antediluvian source of civilization—an interpretation that popularized the Atlantis hypothesis but rests on speculative methods and conclusions widely challenged by later scholarship.
