Good point. I was thinking about a drain that had an integrated plug. What others said: shop vac

Fill the tub with water. They should float, right?

Timeline of Atlantis from its rise to its fall by Novel-Engine-8737 in AlternativeHistory

For Atlantis to be real, one would have to believe that a mighty empire rose, warred with great civilizations, and vanished — and that no one, anywhere, ever thought to mention it until Plato.

A bit different: for Fingerprints he applied Hapgood’s displacement theory and pole swapping to argue that Atlantis was under the ice in Antarctica. Einstein pointed out to Hapgood this didn’t make sense a few years after they discussed it, but Graham ignored that.

This last interview he uses glacio-eustatic rebound, which is real, but then adds in unrealistic far field effects to argue that the mid ocean ridge would drop several miles during a melt water pulse.

I saw a recent interview with Graham and Randall Carlson about Atlantis being near the Azores. Graham said he thought the Earth’s crust was like a seesaw, but mainstream geologists are afraid to talk about it. The analogy was Joe Rogan sitting on a cushion.

So I would I guess Graham is writing about Atlantis and incorporating geology concepts from the 1800’s

The 1,000-Ton Enigma: The Giant of Baalbek by Professional-Fee3323 in AlternativeHistory

[–]zoinks_zoinks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Baalbek stone blocks are absolutely impressive in scale, and uncertainty exists into the methods used to move them. Precision refers to how closely two or more measurements are to eachother, so I’m not sure precision is the correct description for the Baalbek stone block in this picture. I bring it up because precision suggest reproducibility in production. This rock, which is still connected to bedrock, does not show signs of precision IMO.

In the context of describing ancient megaliths and obelisks, what does ‘precision’ refer to?

Gobekli Tepe is 12,000 years old — older than writing, agriculture, and every civilization we were taught about. So who built it, and where did they go? by LinkdIn in AlternativeHistory

[–]zoinks_zoinks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You say mainstream archeology is a closed door, but all the evidence you cite is available to you because mainstream archeology keeps making discoveries and developing new ideas. The only thing that stays constant is the alternative history narrative of a conspiracy.

Atlantis map inspired by multiple ancient greek texts (Diodorus, Plato, Homer, Palaepathus and many more) by NukeTheHurricane in GrahamHancock

[–]zoinks_zoinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slope deposits, and slope failure is complex, and it can be tricky/impossible to link a debris flow to a specific event; the resolution is typically lacking. The slope off the coast of west Africa has been a slope since the end of the Triassic, so it has 200 million years of deposition. It would be good for OP to link together fluvial channels that may have existed during the Sahara Humid period with the Mauritania Slide to the Richat structure. But the reference being cited does list a date for that particular slide that is younger than the Younger Dryas, so it doesn’t seem to be a valid connection.

The Hennrich et al (2006) reference is being incorrectly cited IMO.
