More to come, it's just been a busy year. Will definitely put something out before the end of August.

Thanks for subbing!

There are definitely a handful of small islands in the Atlantic (not located on the Azores Plateau) that were definitely above water during the Last Glacial Maximum. There's also a lot of underwater seamounts that are way to deep to have been above water for millions of years, if ever. I think the serpent/snake represented lots of different natural phenomena, I don't think prehistoric people had the same kind of technical symbolism that we use today. Would the ocean current have impact on plate tectonics... I don't think I know enough about geology to answer that, but definitely an interesting idea. I don't know how I feel about Mu, but the Sunda Shelf is something worth reading up on. Huge amounts of land were lost after the Last Glacial Maximum in South-East Asia and Northern Australia.

@@Apocalypse_TubeThat reminds me of the story of Dwarka, a city that shares a lot of similarities with the description of Plato’s Atlantis to the point that I believe they may be talking about a strip of land that was the cradle of a South Asian/South East Asian civilization. You see the late Professor Arisio Nunez de Santos, a nuclear physicist and scholar on Atlantis, proposed that the location of Atlantis was somewhere off the coast of Indonesia. Now Indonesia was heavily influenced by India prior to the arrival of Islam so my theory is that the story of Dwarka is an ancient memory of a “cradle of culture.” As far as I know we have yet to find the South Asian/South East Asian equivalent of Göbelki Tepe, a site that signifies the steady transformation from a migratory lifestyle to a sedentary one which is why I believe it is a memory, a retelling, of the loss of a “cradle”.

A lot of it is my own speculative research, so as far as I am aware no-one has written any historical (prehistorical) fiction.

@Apocalypse_Tube I feel in my DNA that you are on to something enormous , profound, and paradigm shifting. How can we support your work? I would welcome the opportunity to interview you someday. I have so many questions.

@@rebeccasimmers9363 I definitely think I'm on to something, how much of it I've got right is another question. If you want to support my work just keep watching my videos, like (or dislike), subscribe and leave a comment. If you have any questions, you can always send me an email (you can find my correspondence email if you click on my channel ).

Thanks so much!

Not yet, will do at some point.

Thanks for your fantastic comment. The ringed structure you are thinking of is "The Temple" or Group 'C' of the Portsmouth Earthwork complex. It is directly linked to the large mound in Kentucky; The Temple, The Kentucky Mound and Serpent Mound form a VERY important set of markers that point the way to an important node on the 4/7 line of latitude. flic.kr/p/2pG2e71 Great timing with your comment, "The Temple" forms a very small part of my next video (coming soon).

Thanks so much for your kind comments. There's still a LOT more information to share. I will get some new videos up when I have time. I'm sure at least some of my ideas will be vindicated over time.

Kuşaklı (Sarissa): 39°18'30"N 36°54'35"E It's less than 10 miles away, so definitely worthy of further investigation.

Thanks for your kind comments. There seems to be two different view points on alternate history: 1. The story told to us by academics is mostly true. OR 2. There was an advanced civilisation in the past that had telekinetic powers and advanced technology. I'm coming from a different place, suggesting that stone-age people with stone-age technology were capable of measuring, charting and navigating the globe. It's very difficult for my ideas to gain traction when Option 1 is taken as gospel by most people and Option 2 is much more exciting than anything I can come up with. I suspect I will be vindicated over time. It seems to be mostly engineers and people who are good at math that see things my way. Thanks for watching.

It certainly seems that there were traders in Bristol that thought that the name bore enough of a resemblance to take the risk (even if they thought the chances of ever finding it were slim). Brasilwood was a high value commodity that had to be shipped over very long distances. A source of Brasilwood close to home would be a license to print money. It's unclear as to the true origins of the word Brasil. The trouble with ancient words is that they can change meaning over time or sound the same as other ancient words. There are, however, a number of good theories as to the origins of the word Brasil: Brasil could mean "embers", a reference to the reddish/orange colour of the wood. Brasilium (Medieval Latin), Bresil (Old French) and Braze (Germanic) all attest to this. All of these words have a common ancient origin rooted in the Proto-Indo-European word Bhreu (to boil, bubble, effervesce, burn). There's also a possible link to the old Arabic word for Saffron (wars), but no-one can figure out how the sound morphed from wars to brasil over time, so perhaps this is less likely.

@@Apocalypse_Tube Thanks, really informative and fascinating to ponder. By the way, have you consulted your coral theory with the scientific community? It doesn't sound unreasonable to me as a layman, given the conditions would've differed.

It depends what you mean by "Atlantis". I suspect that the word Atlantis is derived from an ancient prehistoric word that either meant "island" or "ring shaped island". Sri Lanka is certainly in a part of the world where these root words existed in the ancient past. I think there are a lot of different "Atlantis" locations that are completely unrelated to each other. I suspect that Solon, Plato and especially modern researchers have mixed up the details between these locations. Hence why there are so many locations that are claimed to be "Atlantis"... and rightly so. The part of Plato's "Atlantis" story I'm most interested in is the ring shaped city located on an island outside of the Pillars of Heracles. This is because it bears striking similarities to a location described by many ancient cultures around the world in their creation mythologies. The first island of creation with a central mound, atop this mound sits a pantheon of gods or a pillar/tree that links the heavens and the underworld to the earthly realm of mortal men. The Egyptians called this place the Homeland of the Primeval Ones. Do I think that Sri Lanka is the Homeland of the Primeval Ones? The short answer is no, but I do suspect that the Ancient Greeks were heavily influenced by stories that originated in places like Ancient India and possibly Sri Lanka, it's difficult to definitively make these links and so much information was lost during the Greek Dark Ages, but there are common themes that can be found in both Ancient Greek and Ancient Indian myths and stories. It's very possible that elements of the "Atlantis" story documented by Plato were influenced from traditions that originated further to the East.

@@Apocalypse_Tube Reasons why I'm suggesting Sri Lanka are : I don't believe the Pillars of Heracles were one exact place rather a concept for straits leading to a giant body of watter. Like Gibraltar but also like Bab al-Mandab in the Red sea. There is also an island in the Gulf of Aden right behind this strait. Second : In my opinion the island of Atlantis and the city Atlantis got mixed in the story. The bridge that connects the city is actually connecting the whole island. That bridge being the Adams bridge. As for the city of Atlantis as it is described in the myth. I think we will never find such place just because it never existed in that form. Constructing three canal rings has no practical reasons it just brings more problems than advantages. The source for this could be a place near Trincomalee where there are three bays. Also I came across Atlantis described as a Egg. If we look at Sri Lanka it resemble the shape of a egg. The name itself could be a key. In south Indian language Tamil : ஒட்டி oṭṭi - That which adheres to, coheres with ஞாலம் ñālam - Earth,World, universe. OttiNalam > Atnalam > Atlanam > Atlan + is > Atlantis, meaning simply: the attached land.

@@SlaviSokol I 100% agree that the Pillars of Hercules represented more than one location, certainly in the time of Plato it's recognised that they represented the Straits of Gibraltar, but yes they have been located in different places throughout the ages. I also agree that there are a lot of details in Plato's dialogues that have been mixed up. I think it's very likely that Plato or Solon were trying to put together a single story from snippets of other ancient stories that they mistook to represent the same place. There is definitely a portion of Plato's story that strongly correlates with other ancient creation myths from the Americas all the way to Japan (and everywhere in between). When you start to read these stories it provides you with more clues. I have in fact found a location at 38°32'06"N, 29°24'09"W (in the Azores in the Atlantic) that corresponds to the dimensions of Plato's canals. The outer canal and middle canal are precisely the correct size, no evidence for the innermost canal (either the sonar resolution is too low or it simply doesn't exist). The reason I believe that this location is Plato's ringed city is because it is geometrically and geodetically linked to other ancient sites around the world. This is the story I have slowly been putting together over the previous 12 episodes. You raise a good point with the etymology of the word Atlantis. But you could also make a similar argument using other ancient languages. ATL means water in the Nahuatl language. Atoll is derived from the Indo-Aryan word for ring shaped island. LAN has Indo-European roots simply meaning land. Water Land (island)? Ring Shaped Water Land? There are almost certainly elements from Plato's story that were taken from events that occurred in the Mediterranean. This is why it's impossible to pin Atlantis to a single location. People are absolutely correct to claim that Atlantis was in the Mediterranean, or that it was Sri Lanka or that it was in the Atlantic, or the Bahamas. We're trying to put together a single story that is actually a merging of different events that occurred in different parts of the world at different times. As I said before, the element I'm interested in is the link to the creation myths found globally. If you think you've put together evidence for Atlantis in Sri Lanka, write an article or make a video. I'd definitely read / watch it. If you do, email Tony O'Connell at Atlantipedia and he'll add your theory to the extensive list of theories on his website.

@@Apocalypse_Tube I'll definitely watch more of your videos and check out that website. Atlantis isn't my primary interest although I can't say it's not fascinating. The same is for antient megalithic sites and theirs position or alignment. South India and Sri Lanka got my interest from another reason but I also browsed the Google Earth if I could find enything. There are some unusual geographical correlations between places in Sri Lanka and places in europe. Distences close to 5600 mi 4500 mi 6666 km but unfortunately I can't make sense from these numbers. The statute mile by it self is a mystery. Currently the mile is my biggest headache and my suspicion is that it is somehow derived from our Moon. At this moment I dont feel comfortable with the state of my theory but I will share it after more refinement.

Yes, he's made some great videos. I think that there are additional factors that might have contributed to this effect, There's a hotspot under the Azores that's currently in a period of low activity.

I intend to visit in the near future. Quite a lot of ancient things to investigate. I suspect that various different peoples throughout history have occupied parts of the Azores. Even in relatively recent history it looks like the Norse made it to the Azores hundreds of years before the Portuguese (this has been determined from the mitochondrial DNA of the "native" mice found in the Azores).

@@Apocalypse_Tube i think it goes back to prehistory. Those cart tracks (of whatever they are) are from the time plato speaks of. Thanks for the reply my man!

@@brentrussell780 Totally agree with you on the prehistory, but the question is when exactly. Some of the cart ruts on Malta continue under the ocean.

@@Apocalypse_Tube the norse were in north america up to 3000 years ago. So anything is possible. Check out the petersborough Ont. Peteroglyphs. The narrative is local natives made 900 years ago... and call it a sacred learning place. Funny thing is they dont look like any other native ones, and they didnt even know this place existed untik someone else found it. And 2 harvard experts on petrogylphs said they were berber/norse mix. But that doesnt fit the official story so it as tossed.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome, thank you!

Google Earth only has limited bathymetric data, I'm guessing it has something to do with copyright or permissions? Try using the EMOD portal (the data isn't as clear as it once was, they are constantly updating and merging their datasets for a more complete picture of the sea floor. It looks like a few datasets have been merged right where my proposed location is, but you can still make it out pretty well): emodnet.ec.europa.eu/geoviewer/#!
