A book full of mysteries

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.

 

Chan Thomas

The book's author, Chan Thomas (1920 - 1998), was an American engineer and ufologist whose ideas influenced conspiracy theorists in the 21st century.

Book talks about natural disasters

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.

The book's theory goes viral on social media

In the years since, the book's claims have gained popularity among conspiracy theorists, being widely disseminated in viral videos on TikTok.

Podcast goes viral

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.

Why did the CIA ban parts of the book?

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.

What do scientists say?

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."
