If you'd read along, you'd have already known that the very land-slides that calved off some of the Azores' ancient land area (an argument used in favour of their land-mass having been bigger in the past) also explain that chunks of coastal area slid down to the bottom of the ocean... carrying...

There were certainly people living there, when it was green. If it can be confirmed that they were goat herders, then they were the first known goat herders in history, and have everybody else beat. I wouldn't rule that out, either. That's the sort of thing worth looking into, and that's what I...

Well, we should remember that Troy was once dismissed as a myth, too. Until they found it. If they found evidence of some "Green Sahara" culture from way back in the past, that would be fascinating. I think it would at most be a particularly refined neolithic culture, rather than some high-tech...

I think Atlantis was just a story, quite probably inspired by older narratives about a great flood or volcanic cataclism. There is reason to assume that this would most likely be a far more recent event (the most notable candidate being the 'Minioan eruption' of Thera, 1600 BC). However, I'll...

Sure, it's not impossible. But it's pretty improbable, and there's no reason to assume that such a thing was ever the case. For starters, even bigger Azores (and even with continents being bigger and thus closer), would still be out there in the ocean. An eminently unlikely place for an advanced...

That doesn't explain the difference between 'a few hundred meters' and 'four to eight kilometers'. What you're describing about volcanism and earthquakes/landslides could add a bit out on the margins, sure, but it doesn't explain a vanishing plateau roughly the size of Iceland. An impact event...

Of course. There are many. Problem is that they show a snap-shot. Basically, as the ice sheets receded, the sea levels rose. But there were long periods where a lot of meltwater was 'trapped' in giant in-land lakes. So that gives you a window of (sometimes a few thousand years) where the ice has...

Anatoly Fomenko and his "new chronology". NOW WITH EXTRA MUD-FLOODS. :ROFLMAO:

It's essentially the same ploy as travelling back in time to kill someone's parents before they're even born. o_O

The issue is that such an upset would discredit the "mandarin class", the "expert elite" that should't be questioned by the yokels. If they are seen to be wrong and fallible about anything, then people might start thinking they're allowed to ask questions. TRUST THE EXPERTS, PEASANT! They...

Well, he's not forcing you to buy his books, and it's not like he's spreading any odious ideology. He reminds me of those fascinating crackpot rich fellows a century back, who spent their fortunes trying to "prove" some pseudoscientific theory. Think Percival Lowell. I have a soft spot for him...

I see Graham Hancock in the thumbnail, which means it's entertaining pseudoscience delivered by a genuinely sympathetic guy. Long story short: Hancock believes there was an ancient Atlantean civilisation that was destroyed during the Younger Dryas catastrophe. Its survivors then supposedly...
