1:22:44Now PlayingKosmographia Episode 008 / Atlantis Mystery - Evidence Revealed (pt6), from 9/16/19. RC joins the Snake Bros - Kyle and Russ, GCREX admin Bradley and Mystery-Man Mike look at evidence for caldera collapse landslides throughout the Canary Islands and then take a tour of sites and views around the Azores as they are compared with the descriptions in Plato's dialogues.

Summary notes/topics:
Randall’s face contorting skills recalling Elvis and Billy Idol sneer
Any evidence of a catastrophe that could have affected the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Other proposed sites all stray from Plato’s descriptions or require re-interpretations
RC has gone through five different translations, but always trying to refer directly to the Greek
Richat structure natural and way too big to match Plato’s accounts
Discoveries made in the rift valley between the two ridges
Tucholke (1992) in Geology: “Massive submarine landslide…”
Seismic shock the likely trigger for failure – “very recent age cannot be ruled out”
Watts, Masson (1995) Journal of Geophysical Research: “A Giant Landslide on…Tenerife, Canary Islands” / 100km wide and 1000 cubic km within the last 20k years
Defining breccia and fall-back breccia
Cantagrel (1995) in Geology: “Repeated Debris Avalanches on Tenerife…” Canadas Caldera origin and repeated flank-failure events spreading material on the ocean floor
BREAK
El Hierro and other islands with scalloped shape that reveals where landslides occurred
Map showing direction and extent of landslide material – confluence of factors and effects
Mike question about contour lines and Canary Islands being one larger island
Maps of Tenerife and idea of tsunami loosening material that could collapse
Multiple layers of landslide material, so critical question: When and how much time between?
BREAK
Masson (1996) in Geology: “Catastrophic Collapse of…Hierro 15ky ago…” with huge angular blocks covering the debris avalanche surface (4000’ x 700’)
Defining turbidites and their dating from these events estimated 17-13kya
Side-scan sonar of ocean bottom with large blocks; showing one side of caldera totally collapsed
Succession of major catastrophic flank failure events over the last couple hundred thousand years
Weaver et al. (1992) in Marine Geology: “…Megaturbidites on the Madeira Abyssal Plain”
Pelagic – living in open ocean / benthic – creatures living on the bottom of the ocean
Canary and Saharan Slides likely of similar age, and related to erosive event in this region at the end of the last Ice Age
Map of turbidity flow pathways into the ocean off the western coast of North Africa
BREAK
Simm et al. (1991) in Sedimentololgy: “Late Quaternary Mass Movement …off Western Sahara”
Same turbidity current events occurring every 25,000 years at glacial/interglacial transitions
Summerhayes, Bornhold and Embley (1979) in Marine Geology: “Surficial Slides and Slumps on the Continental Slope…” were triggered during the late Pleistocene
Piper, Farre, Shor (1985) in GSA Bulletin: “Late Quaternary slumps and debris flows on the Scotian Slope” re: likely from large earthquake between 5-12 thousand years ago
Map of Scotian Slope location of debris avalanches on other side of the Atlantic
Map of Straits of Gibraltar and Gulf of Cadiz – the location of particular study:
Gutscher (2005) in Geology: “Destruction of Atlantis by a great earthquake and tsunami?” re: unusually thick turbidites dating to 12kya / don’t agree that Spartel was Atlantis as proposed
Looking at Plato’s geography yields lots of supporting geologic evidence
25,000 year cycle close to our 25,920 precessional cycle ancients cite as periodicity/pulse of change
BREAK
RC says let’s see if there’s legitimate evidence for what Plato says, if not, let’s abandon search
Russ wants to then follow up with Egyptian ancient knowledge – if that’s where it came from
Descriptive quotes from Timaeus of the land’s beauty and then the hot/cold springs running
Furnas, Sao Miguel has such a place
Fertile plains, lakes, hot spring baths, excellent soil for abundant foods, fragrant things, aqueducts, many temples and gardens, red/black/white stones, lofty and precipitous on the side of the sea
BREAK
Plain south of the mountain range was 3000x2000 stades
Bulls were hunted with “no weapon of iron” and still replayed today
Stepped pyramids on Canary Islands, in Sicily and Sardinia
