Thanks. Looks interesting.

Speaking of Romans in South America, you oughta get the book "The Friar's Map of Ancient America" by Gunnar Thompson. It covers a lot of the recorded pre-Columbus intercontinental travel. It pretty well shoots down the myth that Colunbus knew nothing about the Americas before he sailed.

Sorry for the delay, I've been working on a project that's kept me very busy.

Help me out here, please. I tried to see what you are describing east of the PI, but I aint getting it. Can you zoom in, on your computer, exactly where you are describing, and then post the full URL here? Thanks for the info anyway.

No, I tried but couldn't. I'll give a step by step:

1: Click on my map link and let it completely load. You'll see a big center world map and an upper left little globe map.

2: You'll see 6 zoom in/zoom out circles on the right side of the big center map. Click on the fourth one down and let it completely load. You'll see part of Africa and part of the Atlantic show up in the big center map and a red rectangle show up in the little globe map.

3: Go to the little globe map, click just barely east of the Philippines. In the big center map you'll see a part of the big triangle show up on the ocean floor.

4: Go to the big center map and center your crosshairs right in the middle of the triangle and click. This will center the triangle on the big center map. You'll see the southwest flank bordering the Philippines, the northwest flank touching southern Japan (exactly where they found that big underwater stage), with the Marianas trench on the northeast flank, Guam on the southeast flank. Looks a lot like Plato's description.

Thanks for posting the Chachapoyan info. I've seen reports of ancient blond-haired-peoples outposts all through these regions, from the Sahara desert, to the Atlantic Islands, to the Americas, to Japan. By ancient, I mean BC.

Isaiah, Chapter 23 is interesting. It uses the term "daughter of Zidon" when speaking of the destruction of Tyre. Usually when the term "daughter" is used with respect to nations, it seems to mean a nation that left it's original habitation. Was Tyre and Zidon/Sidon the daughter of an island nation in the sea of ancient days that was destroyed? Just like we have "New" York and "New" England, maybe Tyre and Zidon/Sidon were the daughter of a great Zidon? Great Zidon=Poseidon? Just speculating.

OK, thanks ... I see what you are referring to, but do not necessarily have the same interpretation. Interesting idea nonetheless.

There's no other area of the ocean floor with these well-defined mountain ranges.

Another early city is Catal Huyuk in Anatolia region of Turkey. It had 5,000 people and goes back to 6,000BC!
