Earth's REAL Lost Continents

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

17:03 WOW YOU BROKE MY HEART IM PORTUGUESE

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.

4:30: "Long Japan doesn't exist, it can't hurt you." Yet...

This channel is the hidden diamond for geography lovers

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.

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!

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.

Atlas Pro: Lost landmasses. The Dutch: Leave it to us.

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.

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

Finally! OLD ZEALAND

8:30 "–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.

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 have sometimes wondered how human beings found their way to Hawaii thousands of years ago. - The closest land to Hawaii is Kiribati, over 1000 miles away. That would be a very very long and dangerous journey in dugouts. It would require a lot of paddling and carrying enough food and water for even a few people seems unlikely. - Even if they had larger, sailing vessels (unlikely) it seems like an unlikely journey. - And you would have to get a decent sized population there for healthy procreation. (It would require a lot of trips back and forth and without a good means of navigating you could easily miss the islands on the way back) - But a line of small islands from Asia, or a fairly close continent, would explain it.

I've never enjoyed geography class this much

Atlas Pro: Digging up lost landmasses Britain: Is for me?

I always wondered why there is so much water and very little land in the Pacific Ocean, compared to the other Oceans. I wonder what happened in the Pacific

Didn't expect this to keep my attention for 20 minutes but man I want to see the rest of it
