Dhill,
I would be interested in your ideas about the following:
have you as yet looked at the animation at bob sarmast's site of the depiction of the flooding after the break in the Gibraltar straits? It is also interesting that there is now a thought that Plato's translation now might be "before" instead of "beyond".
Additionally, apparently after the break at Gibraltar, the break at the Sicilian land-bridge break came a bit later after volcanic activity and earthquakes. This would have some implications into what the area looked like for some time before the actual flooding of the far eastern mediteranean..
Bob's animation link appears at:
http://www.discoveryofatlantis.com/ under his Project Updates link and at the May 7th update link.
keeping in mind at least these these two points from the Urantia info...
1. "a long narrow peninsulaÖalmost an islandÖprojecting westward from the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea."
2a. "About the time of these climatic changes in Africa, England separated from the continent, and Denmark arose from the sea, while the isthmus of Gibraltar, protecting the western basin of the Mediterranean, gave way as the result of an earthquake, quickly raising this inland lake to the level of the Atlantic Ocean.
Presently the Sicilian land bridge submerged, creating one sea of the Mediterranean and connecting it with the Atlantic Ocean. This cataclysm of nature flooded scores of human settlements and occasioned the greatest loss of life by flood in all the world's history.
2b. "four thousand years after Adam left the Garden when, in connection with the violent activity of the surrounding volcanoes and the submergence of the Sicilian land bridge to Africa, the eastern floor of the Mediterranean Sea sank, carrying down beneath the waters the whole of the Edenic peninsula. Concomitant with this vast submergence the coast line of the eastern Mediterranean was greatly elevated. And this
was the end of the most beautiful natural creation...."
