atlantis schizo posting
huh i just had a thought about atlantis that has probably been explored as an idea before but
plato said atlantis was roughly beyond heracle's pillars (gibraltar rock), and gigantic, and disappeared roughly 9000 years ago (reference point plato's life, so ~11000 years ago, or when the last ice age ended) about according to egyptian historical texts that Solon (and, plato...?) supposedly translated from egyptian texts
he also said its huge like libya or asia or even bigger (kind of taking it with a grain of salt tier since hard to comprehend size of libya and asia being said to be compareable.. probably assumed asia to be a lot smaller)
the only thing remotely of applicable size would be the raised (multi tectonic plate) section at the Azores islands
what happened ~11000 years ago? ice age ended
how deep under the water is the ground around the azores? ~1000 (Edit, 1000-2500m actually) meters deep +-
how much lower was water before ice age ended? only ~100-200 meters lower.
these numbers dont match up... and its an impossible option... unless...
the ice age meant that the poles (north pole in this case) had lots and lots and lots of ice, which would shift the gravitational mass parts towards the poles, causing the planet to spin faster (like a balerina putting arms out or in). If the planet spins faster, the magma (lets say its liquid when looking at it in millenias) underneath the crust is propelled outwards faster. There's less water (cause its ice at the poles) so there's even less mass on top than usual AND the planets spinning faster: does magma try to push outwards faster phsyically? More outward magma pressure contained at the general area where the tectonic plates meet at the azores area.
so could the earth spin speed have induced magma pressure have caused the edges of the tectonic plates at the azores islands to have been much higher during the ice age 10 000 to 100 000 years ago? meaning that during the ice age there couldve been a literal extra giga-island there that is nearly continent sized
and then when the ice age melted, the earth spin would slow in a relatively fast time, and mass would lessen from the poles, meaning that there would be less centrifugal lava force pushing magma from the northpole direction towards the atlantic ocean direction. the mass pushing from the north pole (ice) would be significantly less and allow even more magma to flow away from the center of the atlantic to the north. this would make the tectonic plates go downwards again, causing rapid flooding every year (the assumed known being 4m of rising water levels a year, but what if atlantis section of the multiple tectonic plates was also going under simultaneously from the lava flowing away, causing maybe even more rapid flooding levels?)
