Q&A

• How does the discovery of limestone cobbles challenge existing paradigms?

  Researchers discovered limestone cobbles on a seamount suggestive of island formation within the past 12,000 years. This challenges existing paradigms and could indicate a maritime culture with advanced navigational abilities in the late glacial period, consequently reshaping understanding of ancient human capabilities and coastal geography.

• What significant discovery is discussed in the video regarding sea level fluctuations and tectonic implications?

  The video discusses the discovery of fossils at great depths in the ocean, which indicates significant sea level fluctuations and tectonic implications. These fossils, typically from shallow areas, suggest isostatic responses in the ocean basins and underscore the significance of late pleistocene sea level data.

• How does isostasy relate to the Earth's crust movements?

  Isostasy, the vertical movement of the Earth's crust, explains phenomena such as land rebounding after the removal of ice sheets. The weight of the ice leads to isostatic depression, while its removal causes the land to rise. This principle is exemplified by the shorelines of Hudson Bay and helps understand vertical movements in the crust.

• What evidence supports the theory of Atlantis being in the sunken Azores plateau?

  Geographical, geological, and oceanographic analysis, as well as evidence of massive subsidence along the mid-Atlantic ridge, support the theory of Atlantis being in the sunken Azores plateau. This area aligns with the majority of details in Plato's account of Atlantis.

• Who is Johanna James?

  Johanna James is a British actress known for her 30-minute synopsis on Randall Carlson's programs on Atlantis. She was also a guest on a live stream discussing ancient cultures and comedy.

• What is the video about?

  The video discusses a wide array of topics, including Jimmy's speculation, geological structures and impact craters, the possibility of alignments and coincidences in formations, Plato's scale based on the stade, Atlantis and its detailed presentation, analysis of potential Atlantis locations, evidence supporting the theory of Atlantis being in the sunken Azores plateau, Earth's crust movements and isostasy, and the discovery of fossils and limestone cobbles indicating significant sea level fluctuations and advanced maritime culture.

• 00:00 A conversation about Jimmy, geological features, and the possibility of coincidences and natural formations.
• 02:16 The discussion involves Plato's scale based on the stade (607 feet) and Atlantis, with references to a detailed 6-hour presentation, a British actress Johanna James, and her 30-minute synopsis on Randall Carlson's programs on Atlantis.
• 04:45 Exploring the possibility of Atlantis being in the sunken Azores plateau along the mid-Atlantic ridge, supported by geographical, geological, and oceanographic analysis. Evidence of massive subsidence along the ridge. The sunken Azores plateau aligns with the majority of details in Plato's account of Atlantis.
• 07:10 The Earth's crust experiences both horizontal and vertical movements. Isostasy, known as the vertical movement, leads to the land rebounding after the removal of ice sheets. The weight of the ice contributes to isostatic depression, while its removal causes the land to rise. This phenomenon is exemplified by the shorelines of Hudson Bay. The thin crust at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is associated with transform faults and triple plate junctions. Research expeditions in the 1940s discovered evidence of shallow water creatures living in deep-sea core samples, indicating past changes in sea levels.
• 09:54 The video discusses the discovery of fossils at great depths in the ocean, indicating significant sea level fluctuations and tectonic implications. The fossils found were typically from shallow areas, and the study traces back to the 60s. The findings suggest isostatic responses in the ocean basins and the significance of late pleistocene sea level data.
• 12:14 Researchers discovered limestone cobbles on a seamount indicative of lithification and possible island formation within the past 12,000 years. This challenges existing paradigms and could indicate a maritime culture with advanced navigational abilities in the late glacial period.
