It is also precisely
to this fact that refers the legend of Atlas, the Pillar of Heaven. Unable
to bear the load of an earth overpopulated with gods, Atlas collapsed,
and let the sky fall dawn over the earth, destroying it.
 The name of Atlas indeed derives from the
Greek radix
tla meaning "to bear", preceded by the negative affix
a, meaning "not". Hence, the name of Atlas literally means "the
one unable to bear [the skies]". Such is the reason why Atlas (and other Titans like himself) are often portrayed with weak, serpentine legs. The collapse of the skies
is, of course, a clever allegory of the fall of volcanic dust and debris
from the afar explosion of Mt. Atlas. In Hindu myths, one layer buries
the former one, giving rise to a new heaven and a new
earth, just as we read in
Revelation.

Three Of Five, 24/08:
I won't deny the research and conclusions of this article. The theory makes sense, but I don't agree with some points. First, the Indonesia region sits over the "ring of fire". Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis are common events in the area. I admit that a huge eruption may have triggered the ice cap melt, ( anyway it was going to melt ), just like an avalanche event. But I don't agree with the worlwide eruptions and earthquakes. I believe that, following the sea level rise ( a quick event ), lots of farm land were lost. A huge population supported by agriculture, (most of them would have survived running to the mountains), could only do one thing to survive, hunt! In this scenario, wars for survival have arise, and the farmers became hunters, killing every mammal they could find until extinction. Hords of migrating humans swept the world searching for food, killing everything they could eat. A balance would be reached either by human population decrease, new farm land available and mammals extinction.
