Atlantis; Fact or fiction ?
At present mainstream science steadfastly refuses to even consider the possibility that Atlantis may once have existed. Those scientists that even accept some bare semblance of truth in the legend, modify Plato's timescale to considerably more recent times, and place it's location anywhere, other than where Plato claims it to have been!
The uncomfortable reality is that for Atlantis to assume its place in history, it must surmount years of ingrained bigotry; the refusal to see the island in anything but a fictional setting.
Continental Drift.
As it is the scientific arguments against the existence of Atlantis are many. Principally they hinge around two key points. The first is the apparent impossibility that such a vast landmass could have existed where Plato claims it to have been! The main element in this particular point calls as evidence the fact that in the process of Continental Drift , there is not enough of the geological jigsaw for such an island to have formed, and broken away from it's parent landmass! It therefore falls on those who believe in the historical existence of Atlantis to show exactly which piece of the puzzle the island once formed .
Inexact science.
This may seem like an insoluble problem. Continental drift is scarcely an exact science and division of opinion is commonplace. For instance at the start of this century the scientific establishment considered the whole concept to be highly ridiculous. The notion of continents travelling across oceans seemed too implausible to merit a reasoned response. Indeed the proponent of the theory, the German lecturer and astronomer Alfred Wegener, was widely pilloried.
Pangaea.
Now it seems just as ridiculous that continental drift could ever have been doubted. This becomes even more unbelievable when we realise just how easily the theory can be demonstrated. For instance in many areas of the world we see the shape and outline of continents and landmasses with contours matching those of other landmasses from which they appear to have separated. Nowhere is this more apparent than South America, where the outline of the east coast matches perfectly the distant contours of West Africa.
Where matters become harder, is when we try to piece together all the various landmasses to the point where they all began to pull apart. This was a time when there existed just one major land territory known as Gondwanaland, or Pangaea as it is often known. It was from here the continents fragmented - literally floating away in a slow process of continental drift that is still carrying on to this very day.
Gulf of Mexico.
Although many words have been written on the relevant pieces of the continental jigsaw and where they belong, some elements of the puzzle still remain a mystery. There is the suspicion that some of the principal pieces are missing. This is exciting, because one such area focuses on the Gulf of Mexico. It's jagged outlines speak volubly of a tearing process. Additionally this area of the sea bed holds its own set of mysteries. For years oceanographers have struggled to comprehend the complexity of its submerged geology.
Subduction zones and tear lines bear testimony to a turbulent parting of a substantial landmass. Yet incredibly this landmass is nowhere explained by anything we see in the world today. In other words there is no portion of land that can be identified as having separated from this location. In some respects this is only to be expected. Atlantis no longer exists. There is nothing left to see. All we have is the unmistakable impression of some massive tear around the rim of the Mexican Gulf.
