Where is that? Is that real?

[Jack Hammer]

Wish I had a buck for every time someone’s “discovered” the site of Atlantis - I’d buy myself a Mercedes.

Key word in this article is “Reminiscent”.

Thanks for those photos — that is an amazingly clean snap!

Wow, can you imagine what it would have been like to be even near that catastrophe? The tsunami waves would have swamped whole islands within hundreds, maybe thousands, of miles!! I suspect coastlines are today formed from the result.

It does give one pause and certainly feeds into the Atlantis mythos.

>>>The burning scientific question, according to White, is what made this landscape rise up, then subside within 2.5 million years? “From a geological perspective, that is a very short period of time,” he said.

A bad case of gas, followed by a huge belch?

Reminds me of the reconstructions of the Ice age Rhine & the dry, inhabited Straits of Dover, though that is MUCH more recent.

Sank into the Atlantic Ocean...

" wonder if Atlantis was a part of human civilization before the Biblical Flood ?"

Yes it was...it was here:

Sundaland

Where Was Atlantis? Sundaland Fits The Bill, Surely!

Thanks Fred Nerks. The dating of these still-discernable ocean floor features is from an old technique known as ballparking. ;’)

[afraidfortherepublic]

The discovery of these features on the ocean floor is done through sensors that are dragged across the ocean surface in a giant net; and they bounce signals that map the shape of the ocean floor, as well as what is underneath. We make the sensors for ION Geophysical.

It doesn't matter if you're going to Heaven or Hell, you have to first make a connection in Atlantis.

Or was that Atlanta?

[muawiyah]

It's also in Souvrn' Portugual ~ an identical place.

Imagine, a transatlantic civilization moving rock cocaine from Bolivia to Egypt ............. you gotta have several stopovers or relay points to make this work with specialists handling each leg.

[muawiyah]

That and a whole lot of other places. From 14,000 years ago to 8,500 years ago we had a number of major advances and minor retreats when it comes to ocean flooding.

Then there's the Black Lake event where Gilgamesh' new hairy friend Inkydo was tamed by Ishtar. At least that's my take on it. There could easily have been "other flooding" in different places ~ on earlier passes of that particular asteroid.

The Portugual site makes more sense when you think of why we can't find Atlantis on the sea floor. It would have been flooded, and due to debris kept flooded for quite some time. Then it would have drained with the people who'd lived there having moved elsewhere to build a new town.

Everybody would have lost sight of where the original town had been.

Whatz this BP mean?? BC means Before Christ..

I saw very recently a TV piece about the area near Scotland and the adjacent islands. The residents were costal dwellers and relied on the sea for subsistence. As the water gradually rose their villages were moved till there was no more land on which to live. It was a tale similar to Sundaland.
