Atlantis

I think you need to read wp:not and wp:spa. Slatersteven (talk) 17:57, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not to promote a book nor should it link to it, it is about a potential candidate location for Kodiak Island. The book is published in hardcover and paperback form on many major retailers. According to the link you sent:

"Self-published books and newsletters, personal pages on social networking sites, tweets, and posts on Internet forums are all examples of self-published media."

The book which references Kodiak Island is a hardcover and paperback available on Amazon and through many third-party sites, it is not on a social networking site, a tweet, or from an internet forum. 47.32.37.155 (talk) 18:01, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who published it, not who sells it is what determines if is was SPS. Slatersteven (talk) 18:04, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All of the sonar imaging/barometric data, as well as the historical sources and genetic data cited, are published. 47.32.37.155 (talk) 18:42, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Its the interpretation that is at issue. Do any Actaul RS agree with these findings?Slatersteven (talk) 18:49, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There was an astrophysicist Albert M. Chechelnitinsky in Russia that explored Beringia as a potential location for Atlantis, and published on Beringia (though not Kodiak Island). The sonar imaging data, the genetic evidence, linguistic similarities, historical sources other than Plato, all point to this area as a potential site for Plato's Atlantis. Even the dimensions of Kodiak Island itself, 230 miles, during the Younger Dryas, match Plato's description, as well as Chirikof Island being a small mountain 5-6 miles from the shore. That is not an interpretation, but based on what Plato wrote and current sea levels and what the shoreline during 10000 BCE would have been. Is it a wild interpretation, yes, but it is also worth noting that Schliemann faced similar ridicule before he discovered Troy. 47.32.37.155 (talk) 22:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note as well that publishing and selling are not the same thing, this post has in fact been published (on your talk page). Slatersteven (talk) 18:05, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
