In terms of our civilization and history, we ("we" in the so-called western world) need to keep in mind while reading this article is that our chidlren are still taught today that first came the Egyptians, followed by the Greeks and then the Romans and - poof - here we are. Roughly speaking, 12,000 years ago is about the timeframe when Plato said Atlantis disappeared. It is also the timeframe of mass catastrophes, sparked by astronomical impact, which caused the glaciers to melt rather quickly and form massive glacial lakes, whose mile-high ice dams eventually collapsed, sweeping into the ocean all before them.
