Atlantis was situated in the Indian Ocean?

After visiting India in October 2006, including Saurashtra peninsula,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saurashtra, on a tourist trip, seeing
Lothal and Bet Dwarka, I am even more sure that Atlantis was situated
in Indian Ocean, South West to current Dwarka, ( in Sanskrit=door)
which was a city that connected India to Atlantis via a narrow land
strip, not wider than northern tip of Saurahstra peninsula - 30 km.
Atlantis went under water when Earth crust split along a Mid-Ocean
Ridge fault lines, approximately 11 580 -11 650 years Before Present.
Its size was as Egyptians described it, with famous South Coast
mountain and North and coastal mountains and oblong plain visible in
the oceanic topography (see picture with Atlantis map on it). The time
obtained from Vostok ice core data of dust concentration increase
coincides with Plato's 9000 years + 600 BC the original story of Solon
= 9600 Before Christ= 11600 Before Present.
There is a clear small fault line in Saurashtra Peninsula, from
Bhavnagar to Surendra Nagar to Morvi to Jodiya where land surface has
broken when Atlantis went under water, but as a reaction Saurashtra
Peninsula appeared from underwater , trapping Sarasvati river which
disappeared ,and Kutch salt lakes inland, leaving major port Lothal
devoid of water because on average land along this fault went up 6
meters, coastal water became shallow and impossible to navigate ( see
Plato, Timeus). This upswing of former Indian Ocean shoreline caused
Inda to split into broad delta with many outlets. In general, Indian
Ocean coast stepped forward into Ocean, and Ocean became more shallow
along the coast

Very interesting things have occurred in the tip of Saurahstra
peninsula, where Dwarka and Bet Dwarka is situated. If You look at it
from Sattelite map, it is obvious that part where Dwarka is was by
fierce force separated from part where Bet Dwarka remains. 6 meters
high sand coast in Bet Dwarka and Indian Legend that Krishnas house
situated on Bet Dwarka did not go under water together with former
Dwarka further proves this. Saurahstra peninsula during this action
broke in two, forming wedge shaped water inlay clearly visible in
picture below. Studies in the area prove strong geological activity of
unknown origin near Bet Dwarka, although time scale does not match yet,
but there could have been more smaller scale activities along the same
fault lines.

Because Inda had to cast new access to Ocean, over last 11 600 years it
has brought 2500 m layer of silt into Arabian sea, covering whatever
was left from Atlantis. Other, South Western end of Atlantis is covered
by lava from broken fault line- Mid-Ocean ridge.

In Cascadia Earthquake in 1700, fault line separation caused its edges
to swing up; other , different mechanism sucked edges IN in Atlantis
case. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_Earthquake
Atlantis submersion was definitely an event of hell's proportions.
Boiling ocean water falling on hot magma, drawing humans into the
abyss, steam, Earthquakes, storms.
The development of ancient civilizations in time what we know from
history is consistent with a conjecture that they appeared on the
outskirts of Atlantis at 9572 BC but moved away from the place of
catastrophe both because of fear but mainly because lifting of shore
forbid economic usage of the coastal Sea for many years. They went
inside continents up along rivers ( Indus Valley on the East of
Atlantis, Mesopotamia in the North). After reaching economic affluence
once again in 8000-6000 BC they used remaining ancient Atlantis
knowledge to create powerful empires; However, the critical mass of
knowledge carriers, Atlantis priests and scientists had been lost, and
great knowledge was in fact DEAD or DYING. There fore even if the new
acquired knowledge of ancient civilizations improved, their inherited
understanding of the world declined, leading to net degradation and as
a compensation, amplifying of narrow DIFFERENT aspects of ancient
knowledge ( by creating new religions with dogmas). Sometimes along the
way people like Greeks, Indian mathematicians, rediscovered parts of
ancient knowledge, but never came even close to the full picture of
Nature. Dogmas in religion appeared because understanding of the world
had been lost, but conclusions were passed on in form of stories and
fairy tales.

During Atlantis catastrophe, Red Sea parted along East Africa Rift and
Pillars of Fire were visible for a long time.
There obviously many other places on Earth where similar events have
taken place quite regularly; closeness of major fault lines , rifts and
ridges, dried rivers, trapped inland salt lakes and wide river deltas
indicate places where to look for other civilizations under water.
There were also other islands in Indian Ocean and Maya land in Pacific
which went under water at the same time , 9572 BC.
About other possible 12 places of Atlantis ( may be happening in other
moments in history) , see my blog from September 22.

Homer in his Odyssey says that after leaving Calypso and sailing " and
17 days he sailed, making headway well; on the eighteenth, shadowy
mountains slowly loomed.... the Phaeacians Island reaching toward him
now."After some struggle he reached land where "trees will never flag
or die, neither in winter nor in summer , a harvest all Year round for
the West Wind always breathing through.... " . The place where the West
Wind is always blowing is situated between 40-50th South latitude, and
one possibility for Phaeacia is current French Southern Antarctic
Islands.


Undoubtedly, closer study of Odyssey will provide more proofs of
Atlantis in Indian Ocean.
There is more evidence as underwater town was found in the Gulf of
Cambay in 2002:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/1768109.stm

"The remains of what has been described as a huge lost city may force
historians and archaeologists to radically reconsider their view of
ancient human history.
Marine scientists say archaeological remains discovered 36 metres (120
feet) underwater in the Gulf of Cambay off the western coast of India
could be over 9,000 years old.
The vast city - which is five miles long and two miles wide - is
believed to predate the oldest known remains in the subcontinent by
more than 5,000 years."
This may lead to reconsideration of borders of Atlantis, but can as
well be part of another island civilization of Atlantis time, placed
beyond Atlantis as described in Plato.
Conclusion: Safe places are situated so that during Earth crust
oscillations they remain intact, located more or less on oscillation
axis. These axis are not stationary- every new extinction event may
happen along different axis. Truly adaptive species always find these
places beforehand. It is away from huge deltas (including Inland) ,
hills and trenches.
Vostok Ice Core data shows that change in Carbon Dioxide concentration
direction was followed by massive increase in dust
levels.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:V...insolation.jpg


This old Atlantis map may not be exact, but Africa to the left, Pillars
of Heculess, is supporting Indian Ocean hypothesis despite numerous
attempts to turn the map by 180 degrees. I see no need to complicate
things in this way.

As to America to its right, for some reason, Europeans tended to mix
India with America and , obviously, vice versa.

Islands to the right will be identified from Odyssey, Iliad, Aenida,
Plato etc.

Ocean Atlanticus is just the name of the ocean where Atlantis is.

What do You think?
