This
is controversial of course, but becoming less so with the steady accumulation
of evidence. It was deliberate simply because
it was beyond coincidence.
1
The western half of the Atlantic
was shifted deeply south around the global axis of rotation. The Northern part of the coast was like Greenland today.
2
The Caribbean was
heavily disturbed with extensive subsidence and upheaval both taking
place. Net curvature change could have been
stretching as this part of the crust was approaching the Equator, but this
awaits simulation modeling to get right.
It all looks more like a compression event.
3
This all includes the Andes
which received a super push toward compression.
4 This map shows us that it took time for the Caribbean
to act as a primary driver of the Gulf Stream, But the shift south strengthened
the Atlantic Gyre which began demolishing the Ice Age. It was obviously enough.
5
The uplifted Atlantic Ridge was something that I had
not previously fully understood. I
certainly was well aware that the crust had hugely rebounded after the ice had
left the Hudson Bay
Basin . It clearly makes sense that the Atlantic ridge
would have been uplifted and subject to subsidence and even catastrophic
subsidence.
6 That of course begs the question of whether this could
have held off occurring into historical times or more specifically 1159 BC when
heavey volcanism and tsunamis hit Northern Scotland
in particular and the seaboards generally.
7
A large remnant may well have remained, whose
submergence is the Atlantean Story.
However, that simply puts a convenient way station in the Middle of the Atlantic that joins the Bahama Bank as sea isolated
population bases equal to the task of supporting a large maritime based
imperium and culture.
8 On the other side of the world, the Indian Subcontinent was subjected to a massive push pull event that transformed that part of the Globe.
This
is the first inkling of a reasonable geological argument in support of a true
mid Atlantic land mass that might fit the Atlantean Story that can not be
dismissed outright. It is not needed to
make the case as we clearly have a city site at tidewater just south of Seville
and the area around Bimini is also a realistic base are that may also have
subsided although that is less likely.
It
makes the task of establishing trade into the Americas far easier than had been
anticipated. We no longer require a brave act of exploration seamanship which
was certainly the case in 1492.

The second map below is from the Facebook Atlantis page.
I'll go with the statement-but it is not the standard statement scientists usually make. The landmass on both maps DOES coincide with a map on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the Scientific American a while back, indicating the area of a possible earlier large island including the
I think pretty strongly that the "Great Plain of Atlantis" is now the bottom of a basin South of the present-day Azores, much lower than the highlands, and would be part of the area ringed with seamounts (then mountains) on both maps, but indicated to have been sea at the time on both maps, This area is geologically peculiar, the bedrock has the characteristics of continental rocks and the sediment upon it has the characteristics of subareal (land) deposits laid down by freshwater. The Azores are East and West from
