If you have worked through this blog, covering the past four
years, and it has been that long, you know that I have been reconstructing
aspects of Bronze Age Atlantean history.
What kicked the process off was the discovery of a tsunami overwhelmed
port south of Seville
in the right time and place and also linked directly to the Hecla eruption of
1159 BC ending the European Bronze
Age. Twenty years without crops due to
ash fall utterly disrupted the current civilization as such.
We have since expanded our understanding of this culture to
include a time period that appears to begin around 3000BC and ends in
1159BC. During this period and early on,
the great Pyramids were built as was Stonehenge
and many other ceremonial sites with significant astronomical
associations. This Atlantean culture
covered the Eastern Atlantic sea board, North Africa to the Levant and
established a presence along the Northern Mediterranean
coast through trading factories or palaces.
At the same time a presence was established on the western
Atlantic coast from New England down through the Bahamas
and on into the Yucatan peninsula and other
useful access points throughout coastal Americas . The culture was fueled by the copper trade
and I thought it naturally centered on the port city down river from Seville . This happens to be a choke point for the Mediterranean .
Yet I have now had a chance to reconsider the potential of
the Bahamas bank. The area is huge and
it certainly matches the description of Plato.
What is more, all roads actually lead to it in the traditions of both
the East and the West. Yet I had been
held back by the problem of relying on sea level rises to explain the present
submergence. That is all right so far as
it goes, but known sea level changes are simply insufficient or from the wrong
eras.
I finally realized that an actual unique submergence in
1159BC solves two problems.
First, it allows even a full 200 to 300 meter descent of the
entire bank taking what is obviously a huge independent island below sea level
at one go. This naturally produces the
tsunami record.
Secondly the massive geological event triggers the massive
disruption in Iceland that
produced the Hecla eruption of 1159BC and likely triggered other eruptions in
the Caribbean at the same time. As important, it eliminates the actual need
to link the tsunami directly to the eruption which is not a natural cause and
effect relationship. Earthquakes and
earth movements cause both tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.
There is one other clincher, for me at least. As posted before, the earth’s crust was
shifted thirty degrees south through Hudson Bay
to end the Northern Ice Age 13900 years ago.
While this movement led to crustal compression of those parts leaving
the equator and produced the Andes and the Himalayas ,
it led to crustal stretching on the other side of the equator. The whole of the Gulf of
Mexico is a subsided slab of crust as a simple look at the map
will show. The key break runs East West
through Cuba and Haiti .
Any earthquake release along this huge fault would be able
to release any portion of the crust to the North that had not as yet succumbed
to the pressure to subside. We have
actually identified one of perhaps two places on Earth were subsidence is a
real possibility.
Certainly this island was also subjected to rising sea
levels brought on by the slow collapse of the Northern Ice Age. This all took place far in the distant past
and may have remained as a folk memory.
It was hardly damaging. An actual
subsidence is quite another matter.
My key point is that the land mass of the Bahamas Bank was
locked and cocked to subside. This
immediately begs the question of whether the same holds true for all of Florida . That is the remaining exception of lands not
subsided yet.
