Where was Atlantis, Possible locations

• It was nowhere, Plato used it to illustrate his dialogs.
• It was the later destroyed island of Thera.
• It was situated somewhere in Indonesia.
• It was below the ice of what is now Antarctica.
• It was the Celtic Shelf.
• It was the German island Helgoland (joke).
• It was the Madeira ridge. (Banc Ampére etc.)
• It is still there where it was, it was part of the mid atlantic ridge.

Image of the Atlantic Ocean in special coloring in order to show the profile of the Atlantic Ocean floor. (Blue color is proportional to depth)

This picture has been used to create the correction data which is used to put the all-over depth of the Northern Atlantic back to the corresponding all-over depth of the remaining oceans.    Then the other oceans are only deep there where the continental plates run into each other but not there where the continental plates run away from each other.    It is still possible that the southern part was lowered to, but I did not find any visible sign of this, besides the Cogo River canyon, which runs until a depth of 2'000 meters, but it is the only one.    Than in case of a lowering of the southern part of the Atlantic ocean, the South American Amazone river should have had a similar canyon to, but I did not find any sign of one.

The Madeira ridge, this region could have been above the water level in the past, since constructions have been seen on the Ampére sea-mount.

Further this region does not have the required size of having of population able the feed an army of 1'200'000 man, neither the required size for plain of about 500 Kms by 200 Kms (according to Plato).

This illustration shows the area around Greece and the Greec island of Thera at the time before the rising of the sea-level and the supposed displacement of the poles.     This only shows that Greece was of a fair size at that time, but there is still no space for an island like Atlantis, even not when dividing everything by ten, like some scientist pretend.     Note that Greece has on this illustration has different north south orientation as it has today, this due to the supposed pole shift.

An Other interesting point of this picture is, as we know now, that the Black Sea had no connction with the Mediterian Sea and had possibly not only a different level, but was a lake to.

Map of the prediluvian world obtained by applying the correction data to the northern Atlantic ocean, and the south American continental plate. (which looks to me as been lifted up by 1'000 to 2'000 meters)    I expect the the australian sub continent as well to be lifted up by an unknown amount. (More on this subject in «  Continent changes & tectonic plate alignment »)

Not only that my climate simulation program matches the pre-deluvean ice-cap cover, but it shows also that a part of Alaska and Siberia suold have been free of ice, as we suspect it was 12'000 years ago.    Europe and Northern America and Canada however should have been covered with ice, which also matches very closely the known situation of 12'000 years ago.

The simulation of lifting up a part of the Mid-Atlantic ocean floor shows the island of Atlantis is indeed in front of the «  Pillars of Hercules » being the straits of Gibraltar, where it is supposed to be according Plato's dialogs.

Interesting part of this map is the size of the Indonesian sub-continent, we could imagine an other empire over there as many have suggested.   Maybe this was the where the famous « Rama and Lemurian Civilizations » lived?, who should have lived somewhere around in this region, but nobody has found there any trace nor even writing about it, we only suspect thier existence.
