Joe Rogan has been in the news a lot recently, accused of spreading misinformation – when many of the things he said in the past that were once questionable have since been verified and even accepted by mainstream sources. But Rogan is also in tune with some of our favorite topics like pole shifts and ancient civilizations – and he recently had Randall Carlson on his podcast for several hours of discussion and at one point asked Randall if he had an opinion on the most likely location of Atlantis. Carlson made eight two-hour videos on this subject years ago, but attempted to give a brief argument in favor of the Azores Plateau (the flat but shallowly submerged region near the Azores, west of Spain and Portugal) as the most likely location for Plato’s Atlantis.
Plato is Western Civilization’s source for information on Atlantis, and he said it was a great maritime civilization on a large island in the world ocean beyond the Pillars of Hercules – which was destroyed by horrific earthquakes and submerged under the sea around 9,600 B.C. (This fits well with other evidence suggesting Earth’s last catastrophic pole shift happened approximately 12,000 years ago.)
In the short video above Carlson notes that much evidence on such topics is suppressed or ignored, but he cites an old article for evidence that the Azores area was above sea level over 12,000 years ago: “The Atlantis, Meteor, and Great Cruiser seamounts rise from a broad ridge or plateau” centered roughly 34 degrees North and 30 degrees West. The Atlantis seamount has a flat bedrock summit about 180 fathoms deep covered in sand and cobblestone sized limestone rocks, and “cobbles gave an apparent radiocarbon age of 12,000 years +/- 900. The state of lithification of the limestone suggest that it may have been lithified under subaerial conditions and that the seamount may have been an island within the last 12,000 years.” (Heezen, Bruce. et al. “Flat-Topped Atlantis, Cruiser, and Great Meteor Seamounts.” Geological Society of America Bulletin, December 1954, vol. 65, p. 1261 – as shown in podcast video “Randall Carlson’s Take on Atlantis” February 5, 2022 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdqX09zZNf8)
This alone does not prove there is a recurring cycle of pole shifts, but there is plenty of other evidence that previous civilizations have been reduced to myth and legend by such events. Unfortunately, that evidence suggests the next pole shift is expected in the first half of the 21st century and will probably do the same to us.
