Hi Docyabut,

There can only be one person in the whole world with your name that believes in Tartessos as being Atlantis, it is good to see you...

Interesting findings, they definitely must be related to Atlantis! Nevertheless, according to Plato, Iberian Gades faced its Atlantean "counterpart":

http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/critias.html

The Iberian (Gades) region was named after the island's counterpart region of Gadeirus, in my opinion. If there is any truth in my "continental model", the region of Scoresbysund (the largest fjord in the world) tectonically fits within the Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) region. In fact, they are even similar to the bull's horns, which is really the root of the word "Gades", at least in the Iberian Peninsula:

Hi Mario:) yep it me, I still believe it was the lost city of Tartesso:)

If one goes by Bury`s tranlations(And the name of his younger twin-brother, who had for his portion the extremity of the island near the pillars of Herakles up to the part of the country now called Gadeira Gades)up to that part of the country could not have been the land of Greenland ,Greenland was to far away.

http://www.goldenageproject.org.uk/216gades.php

And he begat five pairs of twin sons and reared them up; and when he had divided all the island of Atlantis into ten portions, he assigned to the first-born of the eldest sons his mother's dwelling and the allotment surrounding it, which was the largest and best; and him he appointed to be king over the rest, and the others to be rulers, granting to each the rule over many men and a large tract of country. And to all of them he gave names, giving to him that was eldest and king the name after which the whole island was called and the sea spoken of as the Atlantic, because the first king who then reigned had the name of Atlas. And the name of his younger twin-brother, who had for his portion the extremity of the island near the pillars of Herakles up to the part of the country now called Gadeira after the name of that region, was Eumelos in Greek, but in the native tongue Gadeiros,--which fact may have given its title to the country. And of the pair that were born next he called the one Ampheres and the other Euaimon; and of the third pair the elder was named Mneseus and the younger Autokhthon; and of the fourth pair, he called the first Elasippos and the second Mestor; and of the fifth pair, Azaes was the name given to the elder, and Diaprepes to the second. So all these, themselves and their descendants, dwelt for many generations bearing rule over many other islands throughout the sea, and holding sway besides, as was previously stated, over the Mediterranean peoples as far as Aigyptos (Egypt) and Tyrrhenia [in Italy].

And Herakles, realizing that the task called for preparation on a large scale and involved great hardships, gathered a notable armament and a multitude of soldiers as would be adequate for this expedition. For it had been noised abroad throughout all the inhabited world that Khrysaor (Golden-Sword), who received this appellation because of his wealth, was king over the whole of Iberia, and that he had three sons [the three-bodied Geryon] to fight at his side, who excelled in both strength of body and the deeds of courage which they displayed in contests of war; it was known, furthermore, that each of these sons had at his disposal great forces which were recruited from warlike tribes.."

Any how Mario:) it really hard to believe even in a continental drift, Greenland could have been that close or up to to such a small country as Gades, Greenland would have smashed into the coastlines of Europe and Africa frist.;0

The Atalantes of Herodotus' mention, was the generic name for those peoples who lived in and around the Atlas mountains, and have no connection with Plato's Atlanteans - except that Plato also used Atlas in his dialogue.

As for Solon, Plato used him as the vehicle to bring the tale of Atlantis from Egypt to Athens because of Solon's reputation among the Athenians. When we consider that Plato's dialogues are largely critical of contemporary Athenian society, it makes sense that he would use such a reputable figure to reinforce that criticism, making it more difficult to refute.

I know both the islands look similar, but you must realize he just fanatasized how Atlantis could have looked like, like he fantasized how the 'pre-Deluvian' world could have looked like. His maps are not in agreement with eachother as you can see for yourself.

In fact, his worldmap - the one I posted - shows "Doggerland" (check that thread if you are interested) or better, it shows the whole Celtic Shelf as it might have looked like when it was still dry land. I am still wondering how he knew about that.

And contrary to 'Atlantis', there is proof of the North Sea and the Celtic Shelf being dry land once.

These areas didn't move 1000's of miles according to some "still unknown tectonical process" (= your theory), they were always there.

And according to some, the "Pillars of Hercules" might have been the rocks at Dover and Calais.

MIGHT, lol.

Here is a comment in Umberto Eco´s latest book: “Do not expect to get rid of books” (2009), on Athanasius Kircher. The book is co authored by Jean-Claude Carrière.

Do not expect to get rid of books

[...] Umberto Eco (UE): My collection is very orientated. It is a Biblioteca Semiologica Curiosa Lunattica Magica et Pneumatica, in other words, a collection dedicated to the occult sciences and false sciences. I have Ptolomeu, that was wrong about the movement of the earth, but i don’t have Galileu who was right.

JCC: Then you forcibly have the works of Athanasius Kircher, an encyclopedic spirit as is your pleasure and, without a doubt a promoter of not few false ideas...

UE: I have all his works except the first, the Ares Magnesia, though it is a small book without pictures. Probably, only a few copies were printed in the time that Kircher was not yet known. Pamphlets that were so lacking in charm that no one really tried to save with care. But I have also the works of Robert Fludd and of a number of other lunatic spirits.

JPT: can you tell us a little of Kircher?

JCC: It is an eighteenth-century German Jesuit who lived in Rome for a long catch up. Author of thirty books covering mathematics, astronomy, music, acoustics, archeology, medicine, china, the Lazio, volcanology and so on. He is sometimes considered the father of Egyptology, although his understanding of hieroglyphic symbols is treated as completely wrong.

UE: Which does not preclude Champollion could not have carried out his work without relying not only on the Rosetta Steele, but also in reproductions published by Kircher. In 1992, I had given a course at the College de France on the search for a perfect language and consecrated one of my lessons to Athanasius Kircher and his interpretation of hieroglyphs. That day, the janitor told me: 'Mr. Professor, please note. They are in the room sitting in the front row all the Egyptologists from the Sorbonne." I said to myself that i was lost. I had attention and I did not spoke about the hieroglyphics, but simply on the positions of Kircher. I realized then that Egyptologists, who had never occupied of Kircher (and who had only heard about him like a madman), enjoyed themselves immensely. At that time I became acquainted with the Egyptologist Jean Yoyotte, which gave me a valuable bibliography on the issue of loss and rediscovery of the key to hieroglyphics. The example of the disappearance of a language such as the ancient Egyptians interested us, of course, when we feel new dangers hanging on the legacy of universal culture.

JCC: Kircher was also the first to publish a kind of encyclopedia on China, China Monumentis Illustrata.

EU: He was the first to realize that Chinese characters had an iconic origin.

JCC: And without forgetting his brave Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae, where the first representation of an eye that watches moving images by means of a turntable, makes him the inventor of film, in theory. It is said, moreover, that he introduced in Europe the use of the magic lantern. He addressed all areas of the knowledge of his time. It could be said of Kircher that he was a kind of Internet avant la lettre, that is, he knew everything that was possible to know and there were fifty percent accuracy and fifty percent of inaccuracy or fantasy. Proportion that approaches that we can probably see on our screens. Adding, however, is also why I enjoyed it, he envisioned an orchestra of cats (he had only to pull them to the tails) and a machine to clean volcanoes. He would go down in a basket until the vapors of Vesuvius, supported by a small army of young Jesuits. But Kircher is, first, sought by collectors because their works are of exceptional beauty. I think we're both passionate about Kircher, at least of his works so magnificently edited. Just one is missing, but certainly one of the most important, the Oedipus aegyptiacus. It is considered one of the most beautiful books in the world.

EU: For me the most curious is the Ark of Noe, with the board of several folds of the court's Ark with all animals, including snakes that lurk deep in the basement.

JCC: And the magnificent plank of the flood. Without forgetting the "Turris Babel. It shows there, from scientific calculations, the tower of Babel could not have been completed because, unfortunately if it had been, would have made the Earth rotate on its axis due to their height and weight.

EU: One sees the image of the earth that ran and the tower that emerges from a side horizontal, as if it were his penis. Genial! I have also the works of Gaspar Schott, a pupil of Kircher, a another German Jesuit, but I will not boast of my possessions. The question that may arise is the motivations that drive the collector for this or that object bibliophilia. Why we both collected works of Kircher? There are several considerations that come into account when choosing an earlier work [...]

Sorry, but no.

It was Plato's story. Plato wrote it. Plato was, unlike Critias, not a character in his Dialogues.

If you remember, the conversation was with Socrates, who was dead by then.

There's no evidence at all that the real Critias - whom Plato did know - was ever involved in any such thing.

Also, there's no evidence of any similar story in any Ancient Egyptian records or myths.

I have before remarked in speaking of the allotments of the gods, that they distributed the whole earth into portions differing in extent, and made for themselves temples and instituted sacrifices. And Poseidon, receiving for his lot the island of Atlantis, begat children by a mortal woman, and settled them in a part of the island, which I will describe. Looking towards the sea, but in the centre of the whole island, there was a plain which is said to have been the fairest of all plains and very fertile. Near the plain again, and also in the centre of the island at a distance of about fifty stadia, there was a mountain not very high on any side.

I will now describe the plain, as it was fashioned by nature and by the labours of many generations of kings through long ages. It was for the most part rectangular and oblong, and where falling out of the straight line followed the circular ditch. The depth, and width, and length of this ditch were incredible, and gave the impression that a work of such extent, in addition to so many others, could never have been artificial. Nevertheless I must say what I was told. It was excavated to the depth of a hundred, feet, and its breadth was a stadium everywhere; it was carried round the whole of the plain, and was ten thousand stadia in length. It received the streams which came down from the mountains, and winding round the plain and meeting at the city, was there let off into the sea. Further inland, likewise, straight canals of a hundred feet in width were cut from it through the plain, and again let off into the ditch leading to the sea: these canals were at intervals of a hundred stadia, and by them they brought down the wood from the mountains to the city, and conveyed the fruits of the earth in ships, cutting transverse passages from one canal into another, and to the city. Twice in the year they gathered the fruits of the earth-in winter having the benefit of the rains of heaven, and in summer the water which the land supplied by introducing streams from the canals.

"Mangled and distorted pics" are not the sole aspect of my theory, you know... i can leave right now, just say it!

Contrary to what any of you might think, to tell you of my theory is not an easy task. There are too many elements from too many areas of knowledge that i feel lost in information, not knowing what exactly to talk about. New Geological data is indicating that the Cape Verde Islands were in fact a part of Greenland, for a start. Google Earth's update is also corroborating the existence of a perfect rectangular surface (100 x 150 km) in central Greenland, as shown in above images.

I have described the city and the environs of the ancient palace nearly in the words of Solon, and now I must endeavour to represent the nature and arrangement of the rest of the land. The whole country was said by him to be very lofty and precipitous on the side of the sea, but the country immediately about and surrounding the city was a level plain, itself surrounded by mountains which descended towards the sea; it was smooth and even, and of an oblong shape, extending in one direction three thousand stadia, but across the centre inland it was two thousand stadia. This part of the island looked towards the south, and was sheltered from the north.

There are not two plains mentioned in this part of the narrative.

The plain on the island Atlantis was 3000 stadia East-West, and 2000 stadia North-South. The south border of the plain was on the south coast of the island, and centrally located on that coast (the centre of the island). Again, central to the south coast of the island and 50 stadia inland was a small, solitary 'mountain' (a hill). On the East, West and North, the plain was surrounded by mountains.

The hill was where the city of Atlantis was founded and the area around it was enclosed by the canals the Atlanteans dug - one of which reached to the sea.

Mario keeps saying there is new geological proof of the Cape Verde islands being once part of or connected with Greenland. It's possiblle I have missed that post where he showed that new geological proof, but even if there is proof, then it will be of the time when Gondwana split up and the Atlantic Ocean came into existence. In that case we are talking about many millions of years ago, and nothing like near the end of the last ice age.

Abramelin,

I guess you are not being fair, but it is a start...

Firstly, my theory has to be evaluated under a "no geological timescale" reality. (The results that can be taken from such exercise are amazing! Try to make an effort in order to understand what is being forwarded first.) If the geological timescale is not taken into account you there are a lot of coincidences that take shape (namely continental motions and many, apparently unrelated geological events). You deny that a continental fit occur when Greenland is posited in front of Gibraltar:

You also deny that there is evidence of a geological similarity between Greenland and the Cape Verde Islands. Flood basalts and mobile belts all around Greenland seem to be telling a different story than what is advanced by science until now. I know for a fact that the present geological knowledge of the two groups of islands (leeward and windward) forming the Cape Verde arquipelago, is insufficient and lacks deeper analysis with regards to its true origin. Some weeks ago,e.g. it was discovered a different mineral in one of the islands while building a dam, guess what? Greenland is also one the few places in the world where this mineral is found. It is actually a rare mineral (Leucite)...

Furthermore, i came to the conclusion that the so called Gardar Province (southwest Greenland) is where this mineral is found, in Greenland. Exactly where we are proposing the location of windward group, (the island where the mineral was found belong to the same group):

A link about pseudoleucite in south Greenland:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCwQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2F2dgf.dk%2Fxpdf%2Fbull35_01-02-11-17.pdf&ei=P2mDT_SIEcey0QWHx4zzBg&usg=AFQjCNE0KzdgSewv1LVKMKjNvy4QZY8XQg

I could be wrong, but i bet that leucite has at least some relation with metamorphosed rocks. The southern region of Greenland is characterized by metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks, which are equally common in Cape Verde.

The sedimentary rocks of macaronesia

Raoul C. Mitchell-Thomé

Abstract

In all the archipelagos forming Macaronesia, volcanis predominate, but pre-Quaternary sediments are also present, though playing a humble role.

Calcareous deposits have by far the greatest significance throughout the known stratigraphic record. Tertiary occurrences tend to be thin, show more gentle dips, whereas the Mesozoics attain thicknesses of 400 m (certain), attitudes steeper, often vertical.

To date, Mesozoics are recognized only in Maio (Cape Verde), are possible in S. Nicolau (Cape Verde) and Fuerteventura (Canary Islands). Whether strata as old as Jurassic is present in these three islands is a moot point. Ample arguments, pro and con, have been presented for Maio; there is meagre evidence in S. Nicolau; pure conjecture in Fuerteventura.

Beginning with the Neogene, the stratigraphic record for Macaronesia is more substantial, the Vindobonian being present or then strongly suspected in all archipelagos.

The sedimentary rocks in these islands have not aroused the same interests as the volcanics, and undeniably they are of far less importance as regards rock constitution. The status of investigations varies widely within the different islands, and as of the present, we must frankly recognize that our knowledge of the sedimentaries is only of reconnaissance standard.

Abramelin,

I guess you are not being fair, but it is a start...

Firstly, my theory has to be evaluated under a "no geological timescale" reality. (The results that can be taken from such exercise are amazing! Try to make an effort in order to understand what is being forwarded first.) If the geological timescale is not taken into account you there are a lot of coincidences that take shape (namely continental motions and many, apparently unrelated geological events). You deny that a continental fit occur when Greenland is posited in front of Gibraltar:

You also deny that there is evidence of a geological similarity between Greenland and the Cape Verde Islands. Flood basalts and mobile belts all around Greenland seem to be telling a different story than what is advanced by science until now. I know for a fact that the present geological knowledge of the two groups of islands (leeward and windward) forming the Cape Verde arquipelago, is insufficient and lacks deeper analysis with regards to its true origin. Some weeks ago,e.g. it was discovered a different mineral in one of the islands while building a dam, guess what? Greenland is also one the few places in the world where this mineral is found. It is actually a rare mineral (Leucite).

No, your theory (and I use the term loosely) of Greenlands movement MUST be evaluated under the geological timescale in evidence and NOT pulled out of context or out of its given timeframe in order to substantiate your claim of relevance to ancient human history.

As to the second bold portion above, you've presented no scientific evidence whatsoever that the geological origins of Greenland and the Cape Verde Islands are even remotely one and the same. Which makes any speculation on your part rather baseless.
