At the same time, there was evidence that the climate of the Tihuanaco area had become COLDER and
much less favourable for the growing of crops than had previously been the case, so much less favourable
that today staples such as maize cannot ripen properly and even potatoes come out of the ground stunted
(Tiahuanaco, I, p. 56, II, p. 96 and Earth in Upheaval, pp. 75-76).

This proves, right here, that the disaster which consumed Tiahuanaco occurred at the same
time as Noah's flood when the canopy which kept temperatures warm and even around the world
suddenly collapsed creating abrupt and cooling temperatures around the world. "Then, slowly but
surely, the climate worsened and became inclement. Finally there ensued mass emigrations of the
Andean peoples [who survived the Flood] towards locations where the struggle for life would not
be so arduous" (Tiahuanaco, III, p. 147).

Other Areas of the World:

Many other areas around the world show evidence of the regional flooding caused by the
collapsing of the earth's canopy and the downpour of 15 cubits of rain that resulted. Fissures in the
rocks on isolated hills in central France are filled with what the scientists call "osseous breccia"
-- the splintered bones of mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses and other animals all mixed together.
Further south, at the Rock of Gibraltar, were found "a human molar and some flints worked by Pa-
leolithic man...among the animal bones" (On Certain Phenomena, p. 48).

An article in the May, 1972 Reader's Digest describes a region in the hills of Italy in
which 100,000 fossil fish have been found: "Today the Fishery is 2,000 feet above sea level, in
crisp country where snow falls early and lies late. BUT ONCE IT WAS A PLEASANT TROPI-
CAL PARADISE with a tranquil lagoon shelving up to a sandy beach shaded by tall palms and
lush undergrowth. All kinds of fish swarmed in the warm water rich in plankton. THEN SOME-
THING HAPPENED." The writer claims that he does not know what caused the sudden disaster
that killed all the fish and caused them to become fossilized; but we can believe that the sudden
downpour of 15 cubits of water in Noah's day pushed sediment into that lagoon -- creating the ef-
fects the scientist's discovered. Once again, the lack of sea water fossils in the area confirm that
the oceans never reached the area.

In caves near Peking, China, bones of mammoths and buffaloes have been found along with
human skeletal remains. In various parts of South America (apart from Tiahuanaco) fossils have
been unearthed "in which incongruous animal types (carnivores and herbivores) are mixed up
promiscuously with human bones" ('The Evidence of Violent Extinction in South America,' in Path
of the Pole, p. 292).

Areas of North America were also adversely affected by the 15 cubits of rainfall. In this
prodigious downpour huge lakes were formed drowning everything in their paths, to almost drain
away completely within a few hundred years. Lake Agassiz, for example, occupied an area of
110,000 square miles right after the cataclysm -- covering large parts of what are now Manitoba,
Ontario and Saskatchewan in Canada, and North Dakota and Minnesota in the United States. Even-
tually the water drained away to the sea and the lake bed is now a fertile plain that supports vast
wheat fields.
