This classified CIA book suggests a future full of world-shattering disasters
The banning of the book 'The Adam And Eve Story: The History of Cataclysms' is shrouded in mystery and speculation, mainly due to the nature of its content and the involvement with the CIA.
The book's author, Chan Thomas (1920 - 1998), was an American engineer and ufologist whose ideas influenced conspiracy theorists in the 21st century.

The book was originally published in 1963 and presents a theory about the cycles of natural disasters that affect the Earth. According to the author, our planet would be hit by cataclysmic events every 7,000 years.
Pata Thomas, these supposed cataclysms involve the change in position of the Earth's poles, causing earthquakes, tsunamis and supersonic winds, capable of decimating entire civilizations.

Since it was published, the text gained notoriety among conspiracy theorists, until, in 2013, part of the book was declassified by the CIA, according to the Brazilian newspaper O Globo.
This increased public interest in the book and generated speculation about its contents, influencing a massive number of people.
In the years since, the book's claims have gained popularity among conspiracy theorists, being widely disseminated in viral videos on TikTok.
In January 2024, the topic was addressed on the 'Joe Rogan Experience' podcast and featured YouTuber Jimmy Corsetti. The conversation revolved around predictions of the end of the world, including global warming, rising oceans and the food crisis.
After that, the website that measures audience in the United States, 'Media Matters for America', announced that the podcast had accumulated more than 20 million views.
According to Thomas Chan's supporters, the book's theory could have been seen as a threat to national security, as the idea of an imminent apocalypse could be potentially destabilizing to society.
However, scientists say there is no evidence whatsoever of Thomas's writings being true. Martin Mlynczak of NASA's Langley Research Center said, quoted by the newspaper O Globo: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And there is no evidence, no science, no physics to support any of the claims about the association between the changing magnetic field and climate change."
