Atlantis found (again), this time, off the coast of Brazil

How exciting! Atlantis found…again! This time, 900 miles off the coast of Brazil.

Text Image: Atlantis found...again!

I’m delighted that the lost city of Atlantis has at least been found in a part of the world where you would expect it to have been–in the middle Atlantic.

NOT in  Indonesia, which is in the Indian and Pacific Oceans–NOTE: Does Atlantis sound like Indian or Pacific or like Atlantic? Since Atlantis sounds like Atlantic, could this be a clue!

NOT in the sea between Denmark and Scotland and between France and England. Yes, the sea separating these northern countries are close to the Atlantic Ocean, but this would be the north Atlantic. Plato said Atlantis was outside the Pillars of Hercules, the passageway where the Mediterranean Sea opens up to the Atlantic Ocean in the middle Atlantic, not the north. Close but no prize.

NOT off the coast of Ireland, a spoof put together by Weekly World News saying that Atlantis was actually a thriving island off the coast of Ireland. The spoof appeared after reports said that Google maps had found Atlantis, but it only turned out to a grid-like pattern made in the Atlantic Ocean floor by the Google maps boat.

NOT the ice-bound continent of Antarctica at the South Pole, where it has been conjectured that Atlantis could have drifted on tectonic plates.

* NOT in the many other diverse places too numerous to mention where Atlantis has been found

I find it so very refreshing that this time, that Atlantis may have been found in a part of the world where the lost continent of Atlantis may have been, filling the space in the Atlantic Ocean between the Mediterranean Sea and the coast of Brazil.

Another refreshing detail of this recent Atlantis find: Unlike one of the researchers who prematurely announced that Atlantis had been found in a swamp in Spain, Roberto Ventura Santos, the Brazilian geology director, and Japanese university professor Shinichi Kawakami, whose teams are working on the Brazilian find, wonder if they have found a lost piece of the huge, ancient, unified continent of Pangea. They’re keeping their conjectures conservative and are not jumping to any conclusions.

That’s not only refreshing, it’s also delightful! Check it out at The Christian Post.

Geological history of the Sahara – Could it have been Atlantis?

Horses in Giza Desert by Anna Serio

For the last couple of days, I’ve been wondering if the Sahara desert could have been Atlantis? It turns out that at one time the greatest desert on earth was under the sea.

Atlantis was supposed to have plummeted into the sea around 9000 B.C. according to Plato.

Therefore, the question is, if Atlantis sunk under the sea 11,000 years ago, could the Sahara have risen from the sea sometime after that? According to an online Encyclopedia of the Earth article:

“Only a few thousand years ago the Sahara was significantly wetter, . . .”

Sahara Desert

Then, the next question is: Was the Sahara significantly wetter a few thousand years ago because of greater precipitation or because it had risen from the sea?

The article goes on to say that, in truth, the Sahara had once been under the sea.

“During the Mesozoic much of North Africa was under water and marine deposits were deposited.”

Sahara Desert

The Mesozoic includes the time the dinosaurs ruled the earth and ended 65 million years ago.

Therefore, as much as I’d to have discovered something really exciting–that the Sahara could have been Atlantis risen from the depths of the sea--it is not so, since the land of the Sahara rose long before Atlantis sank.

It was an interesting theory, but it doesn’t hold much water (couldn’t help myself).

Could the harbor of ancient Carthage been a harbor of Atlantis?

Ruins of ancient Carthage

Ruins of the ancient city of Carthage, Tunisia , by Patrick Giraud, 8 Sep. 2006, Wikipedia Commons

According to “modern-day Indian Jones” David Hatcher Childress, the harbor of ancient Carthage resembled the harbor of the capital of the mythical lost city of Atlantis. We know the description of the Atlantean harbor from Plato’s  Timaeus/Critias.  Carthage, ancient and modern-day city with a population of about 20,000, is situated on the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea in Tunisia on the northern end of the Sahara Desert.

Two large, artificial harbors were built within the city, one for harboring the city’s massive navy of 220 warships and the other for mercantile trade. A walled tower overlooked both harbours.

Carthage

Childress had said that the Sahara Desert is a possible location of the mythical Atlantis, especially considering that the harbor of ancient Carthage resembled that of Atlantis. Nonetheless, it doesn’t seem possible , that ancient Carthage could have been associated with Atlantis, considering that the Sahara desert is a desert and Atlantis was a huge island/continent.

However, Carthage is along the Sahara and the Sahara is a dried seabed. Here’s a possible scenario: Atlantis plunged into the sea around 9,000 B.C. Underwater, the ruins of Atlantis became a seabed. When the land rose, the seabed dried and became the Sahara Desert.

I know it’s a long shot, but, when was the Sahara a seabed? After Atlantis plunged into the sea? It deserves further research, doesn’t it?

Atlantis in the Sahara desert?

“Real-life Indiana Jones” David Hatcher Childress proposes that Atlantis may have been in the Sahara Desert. He says that “usually the Tassili and Ahaggar Mountains in southern Algeria, Tunisia or both, “are the locations in the Sahara desert chosen as likely locations of Atlantis. 

“When the French colonized North Africa they soon discovered a lost world existed in southern Algeria and that the ancient harbor of Carthage was an exact miniature of the capital of Atlantis as described by the Egyptian priests…”

Top 10 Possible Locations for Atlantis

Unlike Atlantis which was supposed to have been destroyed by inundations of water and earthquakes, the Sahara is supposed to be a dried up seabed. Nonetheless, an interesting theory.

However, I find it fascinating that the ancient Carthaginian harbor was a miniature of the harbor of Atlantis, I assume, with concentric circles of canals. Could ancient Carthage have been a colony designed as a replica of the original?

End of the World 2012 Mayan calendar could have been influenced by visitors from Atlantis

Some people think that the ancient Maya were so proficient at astronomy, because they were influenced by visitors from Atlantis. The Atlantean influence could have also explained their marvelous calendar systems and their ability to coincide the beginning of the next cycle in the Long Count Calendar with the winter solstice of December 21, 2012.

Possible Atlantis-destroying volcano swelling with magna

Santorini volcano in the Aegean Sea NASA satellite image

Santorini Volcano in the Aegean Sea, seen in this NASA satellite image, was the site of one of the largest eruptions in the last 10,000 years. The explosion of the volcano removed so much magma from below the Earth that the volcano collapsed, producing a large crater, or caldera.

The Island of Santorini has risen 5.5 inches in the last year and a half according to an article published September 9th in the journal Nature Geoscience leading to speculation that the volcano on Santorini may be getting ready to erupt again. On average, the Santorini volcano has a major eruption about every 10,000 years. The last major eruption, 3,600 years ago, created 40-foot high tsunamis and led to the destruction of the Minoan civilization. Some believe this historical eruption led to the legend of Atlantis since Plato said Atlantis went down in the ocean.

In the past 1.5 years, the magma chamber beneath the volcano island has ballooned by as much as 350 million cubic feet (20 million cubic meters), or up to 15 times the size of London’s Olympic Stadium.

Humorous and sad Atlantis comment

I like this clever blog post on the subject of the lost continent of Atlantis:

Lost City of Atlantis Not Found Again

Once [a] year someone is claiming to be on the trail of Atlantis, a science-fiction in which super-smart people from the past were somehow wiped out and took a whole lot of cool technology with them.

Science 2.1

I like the humor. Even in the time I’ve been keeping this blog, Atlantis has been “found” in so many places.

However, I do feel sad that the general idea of Atlantis is that it was populated by super-smart people who got wiped out, especially since we consider ourselves super-smart people and we have a whole lot of cool technology. It makes you wonder . . .
