1) As the book suggests, the end of the last ice age.
2) A little of both. I think the Atlantis myth centers on a specific location -- the one mentioned in my book -- but of course the broader myth draws on the wider world of Ice Age civilizations.
3) Good question. The traditional date for the fall of Atlantis, which corresponds precisely to geological data is 9600 BCE, and there would have to be at least a millennium of development before then. My guess is that there have been multiple cycles of civilization before ours, reaching back hundreds of thousands of years into the past.
4) So noted!
5) Breeding programs don't leave artifacts behind, so what we've got is simply the unusual concentration of certain psychic abilities among Celtic peoples.
