\"Rand<\/a><\/p>\n

Rand and Rose<\/strong> Flem-Ath<\/strong> live in British Columbia, Canada. Both are librarians and have spent several years in the British Museum assembling evidence that they believe supports their contention that Antarctica<\/a> was the home of Plato\u2019s Atlantis. Together they wrote a highly\u00a0controversial book,\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/sup>When the Sky Fell<\/em><\/a> [<\/sup>0062<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup>, promoting the Antarctic location, which included an Introduction<\/em> by the late Colin Wilson.<\/p>\n

In 2000, Rand published his second book[<\/sup>063<\/a><\/sup>]<\/sup>, co-authored with Colin Wilson<\/a> on the subject of ancient civilisations including Atlantis. However, Wilson subsequently changed his views\u00a0and switched his support to Robert Sarmast\u2019s<\/a> theory of Atlantis being located off Cyprus<\/a>. Wilson revealed later, in a 2007 edition of From Atlantis to the Sphinx<\/em><\/a> [p381]<\/sup>, that he was unhappy with the final content of The Atlantis Blueprint,<\/em> stating that \u201cit did not represent his views\u201d<\/em> and wrote an account in Fortean Times<\/em>(f) <\/sup> of how that book evolved.<\/p>\n

In 2014, the Flem-Aths published Killing Moses<\/em>[1090<\/a>]<\/sup>, <\/em>which is a speculative account of the life and particularly the death of Moses, even identifying his killer(e)(g)<\/sup>. Their narrative builds on ideas originally expressed by Sigmund Freud [1091<\/a><\/sup>]<\/sup>. In 2017, they published From Atlantis to the Promised Land <\/em>1594<\/a><\/sup>]<\/sup>, which is a recycling of a variety of material already published by them over the past forty years.\u00a0Rose Flem-Ath is also a thriller writer[<\/sup>297<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

The Flem-Aths used to maintain an interesting and well-illustrated website(a)<\/sup>. It recently included a paper on their theory of crustal displacement written over twenty years ago(d)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Professor Steven Earle at the Geology Department of Malaspina University in British Columbia uses Flem-Ath\u2019s Crustal Displacement hypothesis as the basis for his students to write an essay on its inconsistency with our current understanding of crustal and mantle processes(b)<\/sup>.><\/span><\/strong>Geologist Paul Heinrich offers a number of flaws in the claims of the Flem-Aths, particularly relating to glacial evidence that they have used to justify their Pole Shift contentions.(h)<\/sup><<\/span><\/strong>Further criticism of the Flem-Aths work is offered by David L. Mohn(c)<\/sup>, a Christian writer.<\/p>\n

A new revised and expanded hardcopy edition of When the Sky Fell<\/em>, entitled Atlantis Beneath the Ice<\/em>,\u00a0was published in\u00a02012[<\/sup>981<\/sup><\/a>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

To put the Flem-Ath theory in its historical context,see my Antarctica <\/a>entry, where I show that they were not the first to suggest the southern pole as the location of Atlantis, a distinction that belongs to Roberto Rengifo<\/a>, nearly a century ago.<\/p>\n
