Randall Carlson claims that Atlantis memories belong with Earth catastrophes whose dates stay provisional. He describes a search near the Azores for physical traces, and he also weighs the objection that Plato’s island may not have stood in the mid Atlantic. He uses the name protothenians for a people he places in a span he gives as roughly eleven thousand six hundred years before now. That number is his reading of myth, ice, and sea level, not a settled date. He discusses a rapid ocean rise, a huge North American ice load, and land that is still springing back. He suggests an Atlantic landmass may have dropped as meltwater weighed on the ocean floor, and that bare shelves in the late ice age could have held a society. Taurid comet debris, old tales of flood and sky fire, and the October 1871 burns are, he claims, signs that impacts have broken civilizations before. Large North American earthworks, he adds, show organized building that usual timelines slight. He offers this as an account of cataclysm and chronology.
Key points
- Randall Carlson claims Atlantis tales should be read beside catastrophes whose dates are not settled.
- He describes an Azores search and keeps open the chance that Plato’s mid Atlantic site is wrong.
- He places people he calls protothenians in a window he gives as roughly eleven thousand six hundred years ago, as a proposal only.
- He connects ice load, a rapid sea rise, and sinking land with a possible Atlantic society on exposed shelves.
- He claims Taurid debris, flood and fire myths, and the 1871 burns point to impact disasters.
- He says large North American earthworks imply organized builders that short timelines miss.
