"his hypothesis attempted to explain the catastrophe that could have caused the disappearance of Atlantis. He argued that the gravitational forces, when combined, would have caused a shift in the geographic pole, resulting in displacement of the equatorial bulge and flooding in some regions of the globe. Bendandi determined in 10,431 BC, the year in which this catastrophe would have occurred. A smaller proportion of the second cataclysm, the competition effect of gravitational forces of a number of minor planets, which would have occurred in the year 2687 BC and could correspond to the Flood. He estimated that an event similar to that of 10,431 BC would be repeated in the spring of 2521 AD.
