Figure 13. Global changes in sea levels from 2000 to 140,000 B.P. Source: Edouard Bard, Bruno Hamelin, and Richard G. Fairbanks, "U-Th Ages Obtained by Mass Spectrometry in Corals from Barbados: Sea Level During the Past 130,000 Years," Nature 346 (1990): 456–458. Note that the curve of relative sea-level rise for the Bahamas (Fig. 12) should take precedence, for the period 0-5,000 BP, over the curve in figure 13, for corals from Barbados which is in a slightly more tectonically active location.

 

The limestone that contains solution channels from minus 10 to minus 26.8 ft in borehole 1 (see the Appendix), is highly suggestive of a former land surface that has been subjected to surface-flowing freshwater, or rainfall, in the past. This uppermost, solution-channeled limestone stratum may be of the same mid- or lower-Pleistocene age as the rocks stratagraphically below it, at about minus 35 ft in boreholes 2 and 3. (See descriptive logs in the appendix.) If so, that suggests that the ancient land surface of Atlantis would presently be only 10 ft below mean tide level at the location of exploratory borehole 1. Additional work is needed to confirm this supposition.
