The Why Files host retells a theosophical story of a vast land that once spanned the Atlantic together with the Indian Ocean and stretched toward America. He repeats W. Scott-Elliot’s claim of yellowish giants, about 12 to 15 feet (4.57 meters) tall, who already had drains and water channels before classical Greece. In this account a flood pushed coasts far inland and sank entire regions. Some writers, the host says, treat the loss as intentional, a conflict that burned the world by solar heat, moved rivers, and altered mountain heights. He reports claimed traces from the Pyrenees and Morocco to the Yucatan, plus Telos, a five level city said to glow from its walls. A traveler, he says, reached chambers of gold and copper tablets after a long walk underground. He cites Churchward and Cayce, rejects Fry after a failed polygraph, and points to Cuba and the Bahamas as possible remains. Real ice age floods, he adds, do not by themselves decide whether the rest is legend or history.
