When Did the Continent of Atlantis Sink?
When you know the question, you'll know what the answer means… The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy says the answer to everything is the number 42. If the answer is Atlantis. What's the question?
The question is, where did the descendants from Lemuria settle to build a new Golden Age? The golden age of Lemuria collapsed during the last Great Ice Age 26,000 years ago.
The Anunnaki was an extraterrestrial race who immigrated from their dying planet.
When their Earth civilization collapsed, the surviving members migrated to an island continent in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, isolated from other native and primitive peoples on Earth.
Lemuria was a technologically advanced race with spaceships and airplanes, but they misused their powers, and the spiritual hierarchy started to limit their technology.
Thousands of years later, Atlantis was ready for a golden age using a Scientific Priesthood government.
Again they misused their power for personal gain, and the continent of Atlantis was "swallowed" by Earth.
The events during the Younger Dryas period eventually caused the continent of Atlantis to sink.
After the earthquakes and movements of the Earth's tectonic plates, some areas fell into Earth's tectonic plates, leaving behind a small island called Poseidonis.
There they obtained technology from extraterrestrial sources far ahead of our modern age. They had aircraft that could fly at hypersonic speeds into space, travel underwater, and even move through matter.
That technology explains how they could build large stone foundations as if they were molded together. More about that later…
The Timeline and History of Atlantis
It's difficult to know when Atlantis disappeared.
At first, I described Atlantis as drowning under rising sea levels, but I found out that Plato wrote in 360 BC that Atlantis sank 11,000 years ago, which puts the date around 13,400 years ago, before the present time (BP).
That means it sank at the end of the Older Dryas period (see chart). Plato also described the location as west of the Straits of Gibraltar in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Finding the reason or reasons the continent sank is challenging. The cold temperatures in the Older Dryas 13,400 years ago could be when the continent sank.
That would be the time when pyramid construction started worldwide. Why did they begin building pyramids? The answer is coming soon…
Volcanic activity and earthquakes caused lower temperatures in Northern Europe and America.
The Laacher 'See' volcano eruption in Germany was one of the catastrophes during the start of the Younger Dryas event.
The effects of the eruption were limited to several years of cold summers and up to twenty years of environmental disruption in Germany.
However, the lives of the local population, known as the Federmesser culture, were disrupted.
Before the eruption, groups of people subsisted by foraging and hunting, using spears, bows, and arrows.
According to archaeologists, after the eruption, the area most affected by the fallout, occupied by the Federmesser, appeared to be vacant.
In contrast, populations in southwest Germany and France increased. Two new cultures emerged: the Bromme of southern Scandinavia and the Perstunian of northeast Europe.
These cultures had a lower level of toolmaking skills than the Federmesser. The decline probably resulted from the catastrophe caused by the Laacher See volcano.
Volcanic deposits from the eruption dammed the Rhine River, creating a 140-square-kilometer lake. When the dam broke, the flood devastated the downstream areas.
The volcanic ash fallout has been identified across more than 300,000 square kilometers, stretching from central France to northern Italy and Poland to southern Sweden.
That makes it a useful tool for the chronological correlation of archaeological and palaeoenvironmental soil layers across the area.
The eruption is one possible cause of the Younger Dryas event, and the period of global cooling near the end of the Older Dryas period coincides with the time of the Laacher See eruption.
However, an improved dating of the onset of the Younger Dryas in Europe, published in 2021, showed that the Younger Dryas event began about 200 years after the eruption.
Technical advances, combined with tree remains buried during the eruption, enabled an international research team to date the event accurately.
Accordingly, the eruption of the Laacher See volcano occurred 13,077 years ago and earlier than previously assumed.
Thus the volcano eruption coincides perfectly with the start of the Younger Dryas event.
This new information means that the volcano happened at the same time as the Younger Dryas started, but it doesn't mean it was the cause.
There must have been another event that, as a byproduct, created the volcano eruption. The effects of the volcano eruption wouldn't reach North America causing so much destruction.
The Younger Dryas Comet/Asteroid
There's strong evidence that a cosmic or meteoroid impact triggered the Younger Dryas.
The hypothesis has been gaining momentum for over ten years. Archaeological sites worldwide are revealing iridium-rich samples in the soil dating to the Younger Dryas period.
But like the search for the dinosaur extinction, researchers lacked a crater. Recently a crater has been discovered near Greenland's 58 million-year-old Hiawatha crater.
It all makes sense when we look at these occurrences in the context of the impact hypothesis.
An impact event likely caused the volcano eruption and the Younger Dryas event.
But if the impact was that strong, it could have caused the continent of Atlantis to break and slide into the Puerto Rico Trench, leaving only the small island of Poseidonis.
The deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean is the Puerto Rico Trench, at a depth of 8,400 meters. It's in an elongated and very flat depression, 280 kilometers long.
The enormous fault system is similar to the San Andreas Fault in California and was discovered in very deep water near the trench.
Most of the horizontal sliding between the North American and Caribbean plates occurs along this fault.
These plate movements likely swallowed the continent of Atlantis, so we won't find any remains.
Now we know when the continent of Atlantis* sank, and I'm working on finding the answers to more questions, such as what happened to the island of Poseidonis.
The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, of the Universe, and Everything is 42*.
What's the purpose of the Sphinx and the pyramids? Things are not what they seem to be. The entire history of the world needs a complete overhaul.
In my next newsletter/episode, I will outline how the pyramids are related to Atlantis and why they have nothing to do with Egyptians. The history is fascinating and enlightening.
Thank you for reading my weekly newsletter here https://lovinthings.com/, where I examine evidence and look for a different point of view to explain what needs to be explained.
My out-of-the-box ideas offer logical explanations that scientists can't make. But before you accept anyone's ideas, always use your discernment. Thanks for being here. I'm always grateful and appreciate your input. Be well, and take care. With love, Erik Lovin xoxo.
