Prof. Hapgood was checking out a 500-year old map from Piri Reis, an Ottoman admiral, which showed Antarctica as being a varied landscape with habitable areas away from the ice.
This apparently was consumed by the cold when the plates shifted. Further researchers also believe that even though now Antarctica is pretty much just inhabited by scientists and penguins, about 12,000 years ago, people could have lived there. This was mostly just speculation and rumors but more recently, NASA took photos of Antarctica which seem to reveal traces of a human settlement under the ice. Some people also claim that Google Earth images also show a pyramid poking out that could have belonged to an earlier civilization https://oncasinogames.com/baccarat/. None of these ideas have gotten a ringing endorsement from the scientific community, and until more research is done, the rest of us will have no idea. 7. Is It Based on Truth? Atlantis is often portrayed as being the perfect society, a peaceful utopia that was very technologically advanced. However, if you look at where the legend started, in Plato’s dialogues written in 330 BC, he describes a place that is just like any other. According to him, it was a technologically advanced society that was wealthy, and had a very powerful military but it was also corrupt. He claims that Atlantis battled against the city of Athens who came out the hero. If this were the case, then other Greek text should also mention Atlantis right? Did he make it up? How did Atlantis become so famous? We can all probably thank Plato fans and also Congressman Ignatius Donnelly who wrote ‘The Antediluevian World’, in 1882, a book that explored the idea of Atlantis and popularized it for a new audience. He claimed the place was real and that all great cultures can be traced back to it. He also added his own facts and stories, so its not really a great source. He even sent a copy to Charles Darwin who didn’t believe any of it. Other people who were less skeptical believed there must be some truth to the myths and now there are even Atlantis experts! There are many arguments and evidence that it could be in the Atlantic Ocean, Antarctica, like I just mentioned, Bolivia, Turkey, Malta, or even the Caribbean! Plato was clear though, it should be past the Pillars of Hercules (which we now know is the strait of Gibraltar) however, as you know, nothing has been found yet. 6. It was founded by Lemurians An old idea about Atlantis is that it’s connected to the lost continent of Lemuria. Lemuria was believed to be located in the Indian or Pacific oceans but their continent sunk due to volcanic activity. They were beings who could travel between dimensions by altering the matter in their bodies. Plate tectonic theory and the existence of other continents strongly discount that this ever existed. But apparently, when they lost their continent some moved to Africa, and used their powers of matter control to build the pyramids in Egypt. Others went on and founded Atlantis which was located in the Atlantic. Atlantis was punished by the gods because their technology became unethical because they were messing around with genetic modification and cloning. Sound familiar? Once Atlantis was submerged the Lemurians and Atlanteans then spread out and began the Toltec and other civilizations in the Americas and worshipped the sun. It’s said there are Lemurians and Atlanteans in the world today so watch out for people teleporting and lifting rocks with their minds! Just to be clear, there is no evidence on the ocean floor that these continents ever existed.
