New
animation file of the Mediterranean basin flooding.
This animation file shows an approximate state
of the Mediterranean basin before the great flood, separated from the
Atlantic Ocean and spotted with lakes and lagoons. Atlantis can be seen
in the eastern Mediterranean region, surrounded by an inland sea. The
camera zooms westward towards what used to be the Gibraltar dam, which once
separated the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and shows the creation
of the Gibraltar Strait as the dam gives way due to violent earthquakes, resulting
in a torrential flood that eventually filled up the Mediterranean basin to its
present water level. This massive body of water surging from
the Atlantic Ocean covered the rectangular plain of Atlantis and
created the physical features of Cyprus as we know it today.

We have created new maps and models of the eastern
Mediterranean seafloor using brand new data gathered last year, providing us
with a close-up look at the target area (Acropolis Hill). These new 3D
models show a three-kilometer-long wall running at the base of the hill (a
mile under water!), as well as canals and ditches on and around the hill
itself, fitting the description of Atlantis with uncanny precision. The
scientists are stumped as the anomalies do not appear to be natural
formations. These new images will be released only after the expedition
sets out.
The terrorism in Russia has caused slight problems
with the dates for the expedition and the September 20th date will probably
have to be changed. Stay tuned for details...
|
|
17th Sept 04
Scientists still have no explanation for the
strange anomalies on the newly created maps and models of the purported
Acropolis Hill area. "There must be something wrong with the data" has been
the only basis for skepticism so far. Others, including a world renowned
geophysicist and heretofore skeptic, have extensively studied the models and
the data they were created from and have uniformly concluded that "it appears
to be man-made."
Due to extensive problems with security issues in
Russia and the Ukraine, the research vessel from the Black Sea has been
rejected in light of a far more reliable and experienced team from the US.
The vessel, sonar and ROV has been secured and the team is ready. The
expedition will commence no later than October.

is set for mid October, and the Atlantis team will be mobilized during the
second week of the month. The round-the-clock operation will last four to
six days at sea and will utilize some of the best specialists and
equipment available in the world.

The Atlantis expedition is in its fourth day of
operation and the US/British/Cypriot crew (many of which worked on the
Titanic project) is currently surveying the target area with side scan
sonar. The long-awaited Atlantis expedition launched secretly on Monday.
The operation will end on Saturday and the R/V Flying Enterprise should arrive
at the Limassol port around noontime. We have received word from Robert
that the existence of the three kilometer wall at the base of the hill has been
verified and that it is not, as some scientists have suggested, merely an error
with the data. The canal running lengthwise along the middle of the hill has
also been verified and it is concave, with evidence of a one-time riverbed
running throughout its length. High resolution scanning of the summit is in
progress and we will attempt to locate structures after post-processing of the
data is completed and the 3d models are generated.
We are now authorized to release the previously generated 3D bathymetric maps
and models of the hill area, which were created using newly acquired multibeam
data from the French (IFREMER) "BLAC" expedition on November of 2003. This model
shows the target hill area with numerous inexplicable anomalies on and around
the summit of what is believed to be the Acropolis Hill. The size, location and
nature of the hill is a perfect match with Plato's description. To view the
images and animation files
click here.
After the post-processing work is completed on the new survey being conducted by
Robert Sarmast (much higher resolution maps will be created), we will release
the new images and models publicly.
Stay tuned...
