Geologist reckons Ireland is Atlantis

Which link in particular?

I gave some quick links that touched upon some real known facts.
Some of the links THEN above also added other stuff that is indeed out there with the faeries to say the least - however the underlying known stuff is real - and again - is only a precursor to how any of the website writers THEN takes some recognised well known data and spins it further to their various means.

* Look up the scientific data on the underlying soils and ultra clean, sub-soil fresh water found recently by the Russians alone in the last two months that has been widely reported in the worlds press.
* Look up matters related to the Antarctic and the Piri Reis' map.
* Study the actual real facts based on the genuine timeline of Thira - modern-day Santorin - that inspired the ancient Greek philosopher Plato to pen the original story of Atlantis nine hundred years later- ...keeping in mind that Platos in his writing (fourth century B.C). account claimed that Atlantis sunk nine thousand years earlier - way before Thira exploded.
Again, taken literally with the world acknowledged timeline of real events as they happened - and combined with recent events by research station in the south pole, ancient clues suggest that Antarctica may, in fact, prove to be the site of the legendary Atlantis.

Recognise though that the name "Atlantis" was a name that came about by Plato as he came up with his story of a land that supposedly vanished beneath water. Using the then later Thira as a guiding indication of how such things might occur, he used the said later events as a foundation guideline for a supposed previous land which pre-existed, might have then sunk for his later story.

...And by coincidence, a previous land did exist at one stage beneath what we know now as the South Pole. These underlying facts are not in depute by serious academics the world over.

I would also suggest that you look up the National Geographic Magazine of October 1947 (a copy of which I have) which describes from page 429 to 522, goes into GREAT detail (including many photos) of the 4,000 troops used in operation "Highjump", decided in tandem with additional British troops whom set out with 13 warships alone along with additional tools and planes, to geographically map what they had discovered. The entire mission led by Rear Admiral Richard E Byrd USN. It was the fifth survey team led by the man to this very location and ordered from the highest levels of USA government at the time - and ALL this is on record.

If your going to call all the above tripe too - at least back your reason up with evidence for you to be able to do so and not just come across as some one who has not studied this very topic for decades - as I have.

There is a lot of wacko stuff being spun about this fabled "Atlantis" - when in fact if anyone REALLY bothers to check, "Atlantis" as such NEVER existed.
It was a story made up by Plato. It was a story he drew up based about a supposed land that had previously sunk.
The wacko stuff out there now beyond serious academic circles is generally rubbish and indeed should be laughed at.

Now taking into account that a large piece of fertile land might have existed prior to sinking and crust displacement, it's assumed again by serious people that such a people on those lands might have decided to leave from a place they eventually saw as in trouble.
If they did leave (by boats its assessed) they would to further increase they chances of survival as a race, education and social practise, hedge their bets and go in a number of directions rather than one.
This might later explain why certain SEPARATE world cultures share strange common language base words, precise same knowledge of the stars, similar gods, matching exact methods of precise construction, same shaped carved idols, same fundamental language vascular bases offshooted later and twisted later by ancestral interpretation, and much, much more - from places as far reaching from Easter Island, across to central America, down to South America, up into Europe, over to a number of African cultures including Egypt and beyond into Asia.

Ah no I'm not getting testy, but really even the accurate parts of the map aren't very accurate, which is also in that article I linked. He got the coast of Spain and France right but Spain is off centre entirely.

I'm particularly interested in the area of paleolithic (prehistoric) culture for two reasons - megalithic culture was centred in the west of Ireland, and the Atlantic coast extended much further out during the last ice age, also a point when civilisation was blossoming, with recoverable art, trade routes being established, and much more. The Atlantic coast is fairly unique in this regard, the Mediterranean and most other places didn't change nearly as much.

Combine this with genetic markers and you have a very interesting picture beginning to emerge - we're talking a drowned druid kingdom right here in Ireland. If those waves could talk they'd tell some stories.

There is only the barest minimum of knowledge about much of the above at the moment, but I think there were powerful and advanced (for the time) civilisations which were flooded out of existence, and as marine archaeology advances, we're going to find out some pretty surprising things I'd hope.

I don't think there was much in Antarctica at any time though.
