The name Pangaea was first used by the German originator of the continental drift theory, Alfred Wegener, in the 1920 edition of his book The Origin
of Continents and Oceans (Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane), in which a postulated supercontinent Pangaea played a key role. Just
before the days of the dinosaurs the Earth's continents were all connected into one huge landmass called Pangaea. The speculation
that this amazing report that we can read in Genesis was actually factual was first proposed by Afred Wegener, in the 1920.
