If you would have read the link I gave you, you would have already known that trees once grew on Antarctica.
Gondwanaland breakup (160–23 Ma)
The cooling of Antarctica occurred stepwise, as the continental spread changed the oceanic currents from longitudinal equator-to-pole temperature-equalizing currents to latitudinal currents that preserved and accentuated latitude temperature differences.
Africa separated from Antarctica around 160 Ma, followed by the Indian subcontinent, in the early Cretaceous (about 125 Ma). About 65 Ma,
Antarctica (then connected to Australia) still had a tropical to subtropical climate, complete with a marsupial fauna.
About 40 Ma Australia-New Guinea separated from Antarctica, so that latitudinal currents could isolate Antarctica from Australia, and the first ice began to appear. During the Eocene-Oligocene extinction event about 34 million years ago, CO2 levels have been found to be about 760 ppm[28] and had been decreasing from earlier levels in the thousands of ppm. Around 23 Ma, the Drake Passage opened between Antarctica and South America, resulting in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current that completely isolated the continent. Models of the changes suggest that declining CO2 levels became more important.[29]
The ice began to spread, replacing the forests that then covered the continent.
Since about 15 Ma, the continent has been
mostly
covered with ice,[30] with the Antarctic ice cap reaching its present extension around 6 Ma. (Note it doesn't say completely)
It still doesn't make it Atlantis.
Did you read the Title of the article you linked?
A forest grows in Antarctica - an extensive forest
may
have flourished about
3 million years ago
When did Plato say Atlantis sunk? I told you. Even if we allow a 75% margin of error, in case something is discovered that wasn't known before, the ice is still 3 million seven hundred and fifty thousand years old. Isn't that what the title of the article says??
I repeat. When did Plato say Atlantis sunk?
Please link us to a scientific paper that explains when Antarctica sunk.

The Retardipedia article, which you claim is omniscient and infallible because it is edited by 14 year olds, says Antarctica has been covered in ice for tens of millions of years. In fact, it has not been covered in ice for tens of millions of years because a temperate forest grew 400 miles from the South Pole 3 million years ago. But that's ok because Antarctica is Plato's imagination, Columbus invented the sail boat, and Galileo invented the telescope...

Yes it does. Just because you believe something doesn't make it true.

More proof you've never read the Timaeus.

I find it really fascinating how you always resort to insults each time you begin losing an argument, Qoais. Of course, what else can we expect since you are simply reciting the talking points of established academia?
When confronted with anything that contradicts their theories all they simply do is attack the messenger as well.
