Mythical Monsters or When Behemoths Ruled – Lore VS Cataclysm Extinction by Charles Gould

What if the monsters of myth were real—and their bones now lie buried beneath the floodplains and fossil beds of Earth? This provocative audiobook drags ancient lore into the spotlight of cataclysmic science, comparing the tales of giants, behemoths, dragons, and sea serpents with the extinction-level events etched into geology, legend, and memory. From the thunder-lizards of prehistory to the gods of old who waged war with sky-fire and deluge, this journey uncovers the astonishing overlaps between humanity’s oldest myths and the fossil record’s violent truths. Was the hydra a metaphor—or a misremembered titan of the Ice Age? Did Indigenous legends of Thunderbird battles recall real atmospheric events after a cosmic impact? Are the monsters slain by ancient heroes symbolic… or survivors of a forgotten world that perished in a global reset? Combining mythography, catastrophism, and forbidden archaeology, this audiobook challenges the mainstream extinction narrative and dares to ask: were our ancestors describing fairy tales—or eye-witness accounts of the end of a former world? Mythical Monsters or When Behemoths Ruled invites you to weigh legend against the evidence of cataclysm and decide for yourself: which monsters were real?
