Some Consideration of the Deluge Legends
Helena, contains even now great volcanoes--as in Iceland, the Azores, the Canaries, etc.--and that the very sea-bed along the line of its original axis is, to this day, as we have shown, the scene of great volcanic disturbances.
If, then, the mountains of Atlantis contained volcanoes, of which the peaks of the Azores are the surviving representatives, it is not improbable that the convulsion which drowned it in the sea was accompanied by great discharges of water.
These mountains were the present Azores.
The Story of Atlantis
The ridge rises almost sheer about 9,000 feet from the ocean depths around it, while the Azores, St.
Indeed the fact that the ocean bed, particularly about the Azores, has been the scene of volcanic disturbance on a gigantic scale, and that within a quite measurable period of geologic time, is conclusively proved by the investigations made during the above named expeditions.
Le Flem discovers new hidden evidence of Atlantis’ lost civilization
According to Le Flem, Plato’s dialogues describe a technologically advanced society centered around a large island, likely near the Azores.
Yurid, a magician from Atlantis 1/3
He identified some of these islands as being located in areas such as the Caribbean and near the Azores, which are part of modern-day Portugal.
The Debate on Atlantis
Matt discussed the Azores as a potential location for Atlantis, citing geological features that suggest the region may have once been part of a submerged landmass.
The Azores Plateau
Carlson identifies the Azores Plateau as the most likely location for Atlantis, aligning with Plato's account of the sunken city.
Carlson mentions core samples taken from the ocean floor, indicating that areas of the Azores Plateau were likely islands around 12,000 years ago.
Carlson concludes by acknowledging that, although these geological findings do not prove the existence of a civilization on the Azores Plateau, they support the idea that a large section of it was above sea level during the late glacial maximum.
The Exodus to Egypt
Atlantis was a civilization settled around the islands in the Atlantic Ocean, specifically around the Cape Verde Islands, the Canary Islands, and the Azores.
Atlantis – a widespread distribution of land
He acknowledges that Atlantis is traditionally thought of as an island in the Atlantic Ocean, near the Azores.
Genetic History of Mice in the Azores
Significance: The house mice on the Azores were studied to trace human migration due to their role as common stowaways on boats.
Genetic Relationships: Most house mice on the Azores are genetically related to mice in Iberia, aligning with the known history of Portuguese colonization.
Potential Norse Presence: The presence of clade F mice suggests that Norse boats might have reached the Azores, potentially bringing these mice with them.
Contradiction to Portuguese Discovery: This genetic evidence contradicts the belief that the Portuguese were the first humans to arrive on the Azores in 1427.
The genetic history of mice on the Azores offers intriguing clues about early human activity on the islands, potentially pointing to Norse exploration predating the Portuguese arrival.
Atlantis reconstructed
The main island featured volcanic mountains, with perpetual snow-capped peaks, elevated table-lands with royal establishments, and the "great plain of Atlantis." Rivers flowed from a central point in all directions, and the climate was mild, akin to the Azores.
The Deluge Legends of America
Plato described the mountains of Atlantis as lofty and precipitous, a description that aligns with the Azores' current elevation.
Characteristics of Atlantis
Carlson suggests the Azores Plateau as the likely site of Atlantis, citing tectonic activity and fossils found over 1,000 meters deep, indicating it was above sea level 12,000 years ago.
