This may interest you.

Looks plausible to me.

Check this map to see the Med. with the worlds oceans reduced a little over 300ft. Notice that the Med is seperated into two sections, maybe three. Atlantis could be in there somewhere...especially if the water level was greatly reduced, as I believe it was.

If nothing else, that map explains how the anthropoid apes (orangutans) got to Borneo. They spread through the jungle.

Note that 2,500 meters is 8,200 feet. This is much deeper than Hell's Canyon of Idaho and Oregon, the deepest in the world today

Fascinating !

Super interesting!

[MonroeDNA]

Thanks for the post!

"Fascinating !"

It is. I've read that the Nile River, and others, flowing into the Med, probably looked like the Grand Canyon during the last Ice Age when the worlds oceans were 300-500ft lower.

Now, look at the map in post #5 and you'll see that the Med was blocked off from the world's oceans, which means, it probably dried out even further during that period. Lots of opportunities for flood stories, huh?

How could a body of water as big as the Mediterranean just...disappear? It would take decades and more than 1,000 research studies to even start to figure out the cause -- or causes -- of one of the greatest vanishing acts in Earth's history. Special thanks to everyone at the https://medsalt.eu/ MEDSALT project, including Aaron Micallef, Daniel Garcia-Castellanos, Angelo Camerlenghi, and Luca Mariani, for allowing us to use their incredible graphics and videos in this episode.
