THE BAHAMAS is an ancient chain of islands created through natural geological forces, located between the South American and North American continents, and with roughly 50+ ice ages, ocean levels have raised and lowered dramatically. [see note below] During the various ice ages, water was largely trapped up in ice, leaving vast expanses of what is now ocean bottom exposed as dry land -- And this means? Long ago, during the time of what is now know as the 'Atlantean' civilization, much of the adjacent ocean bottom surrounding the existing bahamas islands, was once inhabitable landmass [notice the almost artificial look of the circular and semi-circular anomalies marked with an X & Y]. This is not necessarily the location of the ancient Atlantis; but then one never knows...
[NOTE: every time our solar system goes one time around our galaxy -- which it is gravitationally bound to -- there is a marked variation in earths' temperature. And because of our current orbital placement moving us closer to the center of the galaxy and/or closer to crossing the axis of our galaxy; we are now entering a naturally occurring hot phase which is being exacerbated by; a critical mass of man-made post-industrial revolution global warming gases; along with the gamma ray burst of December 2004 -- which was likely caused by the tsunami of December 2004; and which apparently blew back a large hole in earths' ozone layer!?]
