Dear Watson;
The old carbon problem I mentioned, would only effect carbon dating of course, and not even all since not everything would have been exposed. I believe in the overall accuracy of absolute dating systems, I just don't believe they are always absolutely right. But what dates do you have problems with?
I checked out the post you referred to, and looked at the map of the lake bottom, and yes it does have the shape one would expect of a shallow angle impact. I will e-mail you, I would very much like to see your rock pictures. Tektites tend to be black to brown in color, so I am wondering if what you have is volcanic glass worked by glacial action. Do the glass rocks show signs of aerodynamic shaping, or are they broken fragments of larger pieces?

what are you referring to?
quote:
"Plato did say atlantis was west of the mediterranean"
Atlantis, despite the ocean being named for it, was not in the Atlantic. "Atlantis" is a mythical story perhaps based in part on stories of the preflood world that was destroyed in the deluge. There are no submerged large islands or continents in the Atlantic that would fit the Atlantis story. The sea floor between England and France was above water in the ice age, but as the sea level rose, travel to higher ground should have been possible. There are also the sea mounts off the coast of Maine, but they would have been too small and too far away to fit the story. I haven't read the Atlantis tale myself, but from what references I have read that referred to it, it sounds more like a civilization that was destroyed than a single city. Which would tend to support the theory that it is a story based on handed down tales of the destruction of the former world. But since much, and who knows just how much, is mythical, we don't know what if anything is factual in the story of Atlantis. Unless supporting evidence can be found, I regard the story as just a myth that may or may not have some references to actual past events.
