Do you know what that means?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia: Sandstone? That\u2019s hardened sand, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Exactly. Sandstone forms when sand gets compacted and turns into rock. But the question is: where did all that sand come from? The answer seems to be that this sand didn\u2019t come from just one place, but was transported by enormous amounts of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia: So you\u2019re saying that water traveled across entire continents? Like some kind of global river?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Exactly! Geological evidence shows that in certain areas, the sand isn\u2019t native. It was transported by waters that surrounded the whole planet. A global flood, like the one described in the book, could explain it. Massive amounts of water eroded the land, moving the sand and depositing it in layers that we can still find today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Papaia: Incredible&#8230; I never would\u2019ve thought there was so much solid evidence behind something that sounds like just a legend. And yet, if the sand is everywhere, it means the water had tremendous force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Exactly. These sandstone layers were created by a cataclysm of global proportions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor: Today we find sand all over the world, even where it shouldn\u2019t be, because of a massive cataclysm that spread it everywhere.
