Earth's REAL Lost Continents

Miles beneath the ocean there are numerous sunken lands just waiting to be discovered. How did these lost lands form, and what would they be like today if they had been just a little higher up?

Listen Madagascar, it's not that India and Africa don't still love each other, they just need some time apart.

“What do the South Americans get? The Falklands?”

The British: No

I would LOVE to see a video about the four supposed "lost" islands at the north pole! They are seen on maps from the 1500's and before...but then suddenly disappear from all maps made after 1600.

I like how when you talk about the potential anthropological implications of lost sets of islands. Especially the South American ones, it's so cool to think about!

I would love to see a "part 2" of this video. With all these landmasses raised from the ocean floor, and then a re-calculation of the worldwide sea levels, followed by an analysis of how they would have changed the ocean currents. Followed by a discussion on how it would have altered the climate on the continents, and thus influence the flora and fauna on them.

Would have loved to see a world map in the end with all the "lost" landmasses raised from the ocean floor, just to see how that world would look like.

Its sad that he didnt mention Doggerland, the landbridge between Great Britain, Europe and Scandinavia. Its most likely responsible, why Europe was so densely settled.

The submerged hawaiian island chain was always so interesting to me. It does an almost 90 degree turn to the north. Given that the mantle plume feeding the volcano is mostly stationary, this means something catastrophic must have happened to the pacific plate millions of years ago for it to stop moving one direction (north), and into a new direction (west). Some of my old professors said that the India plate crashing into the Asia plate did something to the plates around it. 🤷‍♂️

I've never enjoyed geography class this much

This was surprisingly informative, and it compelled me to become an Atlas Pro subscriber here AND a Patreon supporter. All best wishes!

Such a fantastic educational video. Your channel is one of the most informative I have come across. You explain difficult to grasp concepts in an easily digestible format. Thank you.

"–meaning not only has the main body of the Hawaiian continent been lost, it's been erased off the face of the Earth, and there's no way for us to ever know what it was like."

I just felt a strange sense of dread.

Atlas Pro, feels like one of the few channels that really keeps getting better and better!

11:37 That would've been a quite unique country. Roads pretty much in a straight line :)🤔🤔🤔

[adrianghandtchi]

I would’ve never known about that, about the hotspot chains. Feels like I’m really understanding the movement of earth this way.
