I guess the articles did nothing to bolster my point.

How about these pictures then?

Very interesting....

You always come here with some good stuff.

That could have me and my bride in the 63 pictures,...more me...and not so far of from today in 2014 ...not as trim however. and a bit older.

Wife passed in 2003 though. and in 63 I wasn't on the beach....got here in 92.

How do these scientists explain it when the ‘sea level’ goes UP in one area, and DOWN in another ?

From Wikipedia:

************************Isle of the Dead (German: Die Toteninsel) is the best-known painting of Swiss Symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin (1827–1901). Prints of the work were very popular in central Europe in the early 20th century—Vladimir Nabokov observed in his novel Despair that they were to be "found in every Berlin home".^[1]

Böcklin produced several different versions of the mysterious painting between 1880 and 1886.
