Figure 5 - Highlighted in light green is the Altiplano, a large rectangular plain high up in the Andes Mountain Range. British cartographer Jim Allen contends that this is the Atlantis plain and South America the island of Atlantis.
Solon also informs us that the military officers of Atlantis dwelt on the plain. The logistics of mobilizing manpower from over 12,000 feet high atop the Andes down to the coast would have been a treacherous and logistical nightmare taking several days to several weeks depending on whether ships set sail for the Mediterranean from the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean. Realistically, if the Atlanteans were the great seafaring nation Solon purported them to be, then it is much more likely that the plain described by Solon was far lower in altitude and much nearer the ocean. In fact Solon not only stated that the plain was "near the sea," but he also claimed oceangoing vessels were at the very least able to navigate to within 6 miles of the plain while the sea or ocean sat no more than 15 miles from the plain. The Altiplano sits 100 miles east of the nearest ocean, the Pacific, and due to the precipitous coastline absolutely no oceangoing vessel ever sailed nearer than 100 miles of the plain.
Part of Allen's error in choosing the Altiplano as the plain in Plato's narrative is due to Solon's assertion that the "plain was surrounded by mountains." Allen assumes that the surrounding mountains defined the plain's shape, but Solon clearly maintains that the flat plain of Atlantis was defined by a rectangular ditch or waterway "carried round the whole of the plain, and was 10,000 stadia in length." This rectangular waterway forming a 10,000 stadia (roughly 1,150 miles) perimeter around the plain had sides measuring 2,000 stadia (230 miles) wide by 3,000 stadia (345 miles) long, roughly the size and shape of the state of North Dakota.
A rectangular waterway defining a flat plain of this size has very few places to exist on a planet the size of Earth. In searching the entire globe, examining all landmasses that are not buried under thousands of feet of ice and snow, there is only one flat rectangular plain defined on all four sides by flowing waterways which approaches these parameters, there are absolutely none larger and there are none approaching even a quarter of its size. The plain, located in Northern Argentina, is called Mesopotamia (Fig. 6), appropriately borrowing from its namesake in the Middle East a name meaning "land lying between two rivers." How well does South America's Mesopotamia match up to the Atlantis plain?
First of all there are many of these rectangular plains [24?] of these dimensions [approx. 360 x 240 miles] all over the earth, including under the ice of Antarctica if you analyze certain satellite images. It is a very common component of the Earths' original geographic geometry of physics.
When John the Divine described The New Jerusalem plan he was talking of dimensions of the celestial city of between 1500 X 1500 X 1500 to 1440 x 1440 x1440 miles according to different interpretations of ancient measurements.
But irregardless of interpretations, Platos' Plain amounts to exactly 1/24 th of the base of the New Jerusalem Plan. ©-dp-2007
The length of the Altiplano is very close to Platos' length of approx. 345-360 miles. [Not the lime green area as indicated in map]. The width however of the Altiplano is about 150 miles, about 90 miles short of Platos' 240 mile estimate. But consider this phenomena which few are aware of; the Altiplano was once at sea level and was pushed upward about 3 to 4 miles and its width was crunched inward by two parallel mountain ranges that rose upward out of the sea, as a result of massive Pacific plate tectonics pushing downward under the western coast of the South American continent. ©-dp-2007
