The book challenges conventional explanations of several geological and historical phenomena, including the existence of submerged ancient cities, the apparent sudden extinction of species, and the origins of salt water on Earth. It also questions the long-held theory of supercontinents, proposing an alternative model for continental formation and separation.

The theory aims to explain why there are so many ancient structures submerged beneath the ocean, offering an alternative to modern explanations involving global ice coverage and melting. It questions the idea that sea levels rose purely from melting ice, arguing that even if all the missing water were stored as ice 300 meters below current sea levels, it would be nearly impossible for such a vast amount to have been frozen—especially while parts of the planet remained lush and green.
