Quite detailed ocean floor elevation datasets are available for free, as well as the software to do elevation analysis. However if I’m not mistaken, if the assumption of the research is based on isostasy, there would be a miss of corroboration to only study the North Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Ridge without looking at the uplifts in surrounding land masses. Unfortunately that (scope broadening) would creep the scope of the study by allowing the tectonic background to be added to the picture, as any timeline would considerably overshoot the Quaternary era (Pleistocene, Holocene, Anthropocene) and Plato’s geoarguments for Atlantis. Difficult. Nevertheless, better maps to use you can either find online or even make yourself with the available data.
Maybe I'll do another search to find a more detailed map. But even then it would only be a very rough approximation to what it really might have looked like. If enough parts of the Azores plateau had been drilled into to determine the common coastline, which might differ here and there, a better approximation should be possible.
I can also say something now I wasn’t quite sure about before, after following/watching his stuff; Randall isn’t atheistic/materialistic/darwinistic in his approach/thinking and outlook on things. Quite the contrary in fact. He also seems to be quite aware of the works of the early Theosophists and other „fringe stuff“ like Edgar Cayce‘s channeling.
Yes, in the last episode he even refers to Gurdjieff.
About this Atlantis temple: I find it most intreaging what he says about geodecy, cosmic numbers and geometry, also the observation that the geometry of specific stellar and earthly proportions got utilized in the ancient world and applied to various architectual structures worldwide in terms of measurements, proportion and allignments. In other words: to some degree ancient architecture seems to be a continuation of/approximation to the architecture of the solar system (and beyond), measures, devisions and geometric patterns we still use today. Has it been a conscious decition at some point in the distant past to mimik and apply natures geometry or is it a build in thing for every being, to be capable of reproducing harmonius patterns and systems, either consciously or unconcsiously? Is geometry the universal language?
I think of it this way: It seems like a cosmic rhythm or a musical time signature, that shines through events and sequences even then, when the musical piece is completelly improvised. For instance: If there is a major, dramatic event in the musical composition, then it will be placed in the beginning of a new pattern (which has a certain proportional relationship to other elements), otherwise it would sound off and unrhythmical ;P If I apply the musical analogy to the state of affairs on planet earth, I'd say we are completelly out of synch. Most of the people and organisations play their own little tune with little regard to what others play or what nature plays for that matter. Frequency wise and rhythmically way off.
