Foreword

Somewhere back in 1987 I got across some books related to The lost continent of Atlantis. The first one was, The Mystery of Atlantis written by Charles Berliz, and published in 1974 by Grosset & Dunlap Inc (German version: ISBN 3-552-02812-9).    The other book was Alte thesen - neue Forschungen written by Otto H.Muck and published in 1976 by Econ Verlag Gmbh (ISBN 3-430-16837-6).    Then later, somewhere in 1996, I started to investigate more on this subject, and also started the gathering of data, pictures and other information that year.

The theory advanced by Otto H.Muck looked to me the closed to what could have been the truth, however since of 1997 satalite data has become available to public, published in France by IFREMER , from where I downloaded the necessary altitude data (Military and Commercial use prohibited).    I have been working occasionally since 1996 on this project trying to get Data together, verify some of Otto H.Muck figures and data.    Because Otto H.Muck had collected his data from the late 50's until the early 60's, which did not seem to match actual available data.

In this pages I will try to reconstruct what Otto H.Muck was trying to do, but give it my interpretation, considering that Plato must have been right in some extend with his story, but by considering some margins, (a foot must be between 22 and 40 cm etc.) especially mentionings about sizes and placement.    Plato's mentionings about things wich are not there any longer and things which should be still be there should also be considered, in this case we should know what to look for and what not to look for.

I do not want to consider things about magic crytals, mysterious energies, UFO's or other similar stuff as long this does not explain a possible natural desaster.    As well, I do not beleive that things like islands can disappear into nothing, and that this islands can disappear without leaving as single trace.    This looks like someone trying to commit a perfect crime, it does not exist, then there must always be some trace left somewhere.    But it is possible that we do not see it, because it is either unbelievable or we did simply not look for the right thing at the right place, or look at the things at the right scale.

However I have been spending a fair amount of time in filtering and gathering the necessary data and pictures, as well make a programm to generate de maps.    I had to find ou a method to re-map the world coordinates in case of a pole displacement, and an other program to do some simple climat simulation and make this things fit close enough to reality.    Then all the maps shown on this site are computer generated and based on real data    I did not invent anything besides the correction maps, in which I had to imagine the possible changes in order to reflect the sinking of the North Atlantic ocean floor and the rising of some continents.    I had, since this data is still unknown, and nobody has any reasonable idee what could have happened, to imagine how ocean floor and continents could have been moved by the consequence of a possible natural disaster, or any other reason why they could have been moved.

Where to start

Where to start is the real question, then there are many things who could be related to Atlantis like the biblical flooding (also metioned by Plato to, who wrote: « There occurred violent earthquakes and floods » and « For the fact is that a single night of excessive rain washed away the earth and laid bare the rock »), the prediluvian climat change could alse be related to Atlantis, as well the climat warming up since 12'000 years ago.    We should also not forget to ask ourselves « Did Atlantis ever exist » and « If Atlantis ever existed, Where did Atlantis exist ». (Plato wrote about that: « There are remaining only the bones of the wasted body, as they may called, as in the case of small islands, all the richer and softer parts of the soil having fallen away »)    Where are the sacred memorials which sould still exist according to Plato, who wrote: « There may still be observed sacred memorials in places where fountains once existed; and this proves the truth of what I am saying. » is The Bimini Wall, discovered in 1968 one of them?   On the other hand Plato insisted in this story being true in writing about an egyptian priest: « Concerning the country the Egyptian priests said what is not only probable but manifestly true. ». Then Plato was convinced that the story was true, even then he could never have verified anything about it.   So let's start with asking questions to be answered, then what to look for, what happened and a possible timescale.
