Catch David Talbott's book, "The Saturn Myth", Doubleday 1980 for details. However, there were a number of devastating catastrophies after the age of Kronos, so that the continents and their present positions are no indication of what the surface of the earth looked like during that age. Velikovsky's books "Worlds in Collision" and "Earth in Upheavel" give a better account of these latter day catastrophies than anything I could say in a few lines. The whole notion of falling "off the edge of the earth" if you were to sail too far, familiar up to Columbus' time, was a racial memory from the age of Kronos, when the equator really was the edge of the earth and nothing lived below it, except, as you said, maybe turtles. To Beth: I probably should have just said that anything which can be figured out logically should be figured out logically with no further ado. Generally, we screw things up by doing otherwise. The particular comment about "leverage" struck me as off-the-wall and probably made-up, but if looked-up, looked up in the wrong place. Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
