6 km sunken harbor discovered in Sunda Strait via bathymetric survey. Speaker proposes Sundaland (Sunda Shelf) as a possible match for Plato's Atlantis description Sundaland was a continuous landmass during the ice age that has since been submerged Bathymetric survey conducted for a planned Java-Sumatra bridge across the Sunda Strait revealed rectangular structures

A bridge survey uncovered a sunken harbor ~6 km wide, 60-150m below the Sunda Strait! It features narrow entrance and exit gates with twin peaks, confirmed by harbor engineers as dredged constructions. Ancient Krakatoa would have risen ~2,000m, serving as a natural lighthouse! 🌊

Key Facts

  • Speaker proposes Sundaland (Sunda Shelf) as a possible match for Plato's Atlantis description
  • Sundaland was a continuous landmass during the ice age that has since been submerged
  • Bathymetric survey conducted for a planned Java-Sumatra bridge across the Sunda Strait revealed rectangular structures
  • Sonar data shows a harbor approximately 6 km wide at 60–150 meters below sea level
  • Harbor features a narrow entrance gate, exit gate, and twin peaks at both points
  • Harbor engineers independently identified the structures as dredged constructions, not natural geology
  • Ancient Krakatoa rose approximately 2,000 m above sea level (compared to ~1,000 m before the 1883 eruption) and would have served as a natural lighthouse
  • Depth implies construction during the ice age, consistent with dates older than 11,000 years
