ATLANTIS: The Geological Evidence

What if the legend of Atlantis isn’t a myth, but a geological event written in stone, sediment, and diatoms buried beneath the Atlantic?

In this groundbreaking interview, I sit down with Irish geologist Joseph O’Donoghue, author of The Legend of Atlantis and the Science of Geology, to explore evidence that challenges everything we’ve been taught about Earth’s past.

Joe reveals findings that mainstream academia refuses to confront, from freshwater diatoms and grass pollen found on the Atlantic seabed (proof of land that once existed there) to volcanic rock that could only have formed above water, now lying two miles below the surface.

According to his research, around 11,700 years ago, a cosmic impact ended the Ice Age and sent Atlantis and much of early civilization to the ocean floor.

We also dive into why orthodox geology resists this truth, how it connects to global flood legends, and what it might mean for humanity’s future if such catastrophes are cyclical.

Dr Ioannis Syrigos' guest: Joseph O'Donoghue, geologist, author, and academic heretic.

His claim: Atlantis was a geological event, and the evidence is hiding in plain sight.

Over 54 minutes, Joe walks through evidence that mainstream geology refuses to acknowledge:

🔹 Freshwater organisms pulled from the Atlantic seafloor (1947 Swedish expedition)—proving land existed there in recent geological time

🔹 Volcanic rocks that only form in open air, retrieved from 2 miles beneath the ocean surface

🔹 Massive boulder deposits across Greece that gentle ocean currents could never move—pointing to catastrophic flooding

🔹 400+ flood legends from cultures separated by oceans, all describing the same cataclysm

But perhaps most revealing is Joe's explanation of why academia won't engage with this evidence:

"If you allow catastrophes in the past, you shorten geological time. If you don't need vast ages for geology, you don't have them for Darwinism. Everything changes."

This is the kind of straight-shooting, forward-thinking conversation you subscribed for—no gatekeeping, no sacred cows, just evidence and honest inquiry.
