The Ice People (French: la Nuit des temps) is a 1968 French science fiction novel by René Barjavel.Scientists in Antarctica discover artefacts from a lost civilization from 900000 years ago. Two living characters are found sleeping: a man and a woman. The scientists manage to wake up the woman, starting with her because the man looks injured.She is named Éléa and tells Simon (a French scientist) many things about the civilization of Gondawa, which possessed incredibly advanced technology and ended in a terrible war against a civilization named Enisoraï. She and a scientist named Coban were selected to repopulate Earth later (they didn't predict that this part of Gondwana would move to the South Pole and become Antartica), however she hates him and would have wanted to die 900000 years ago with her lover, Païkan.Countries from all over the world are very interested in the technologies that may be found in the Gondawan ruins (or from asking the sleeping man), this being set during the Cold War (of which it deconstructs several tropes). | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| The Ice People / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: the war between Gondawa and Enisoraï sounds quite similar to the Cold War. | |

Adam and Eve Plot | |
| The Ice People / int_1e95dd12 | comment |
Adam and Eve Plot: Éléa and Coban were selected to repopulate Earth after the apocalypse. Interestingly Coban was selected for his intellectual competence, while Éléa was selected for her attractiveness. | |

Downer Ending | |
| The Ice People / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Éléa and her companion die out of a dramatic misunderstanding (Éléa poisons herself while they are transfusing her blood to Coban because she hates him, just as the Simon realises that Païkan had killed Coban and taken his place before they got frozen), and all the advanced knowledge from the past is irremediably lost. The scientists conclude that humanity is just as stupid and prone to self-destruction as it was 900,000 years ago. | |

The Savage Indian / Yellow Peril: the Enisor people themselves. They are, with Cohan himself, the main antagonists and are stated to be the ancestors of both Eastern Asians and Native Americans. | |

Mutually Assured Destruction: The civilization of Gondawa made a weapon so powerful that it would destroy both their enemies and them. And decided to use it anyway. | |

Veganopia | |
| The Ice People / int_dff189b9 | comment |
Veganopia: Played with the people in Gondawa, including Elea herself. They enjoyed infinite artificial food, because of the fact they are implied, through Elea herself, to not be able to eat animal or plant-based food. Éléa is horrified at the idea of eating these kinds of food. | |
