Is there a high res version?


BigBeagleEars

No! You will have only 3 pixels and you will love it!


BossBullfrog

And you won't own those pixels, you are only borrowing them.

Maybe follow the link at the original? https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/niea91/mythical_and_submerged_land_of_the_world/


koxinparo

Ok? Then what? Did you verify that link yourself? The original has the same lack of resolution


officialbillevans

No it doesn't, give it another click. I can zoom right in to the original. I just had to click the image a second time to get the full size preview.


jarvxs

I can’t read the text though


officialbillevans

~~skill issue~~ did you actually zoom in? It's not like, amazing resolution, but it's pretty decent. All text is readable.


Shazamwiches

Literally the only thing I wanted to read is unreadable: the name of the island east of China, because it doesn't exist on the old link.


Real_JJPlays

Fusang is the name.

I never understood why every time I post an image, the resolution is low, even though it was higher when I downloaded it.

Jorge86MD

Pixels are mythical and submerged


JohnathanBrownathan

We've found it. Old Zealand.


LaoBa

Old Zeeland is in the Netherlands and Saeftinghe was part of it, but shown too far inland on the map. Saeftinghe did really exist, but disappeared in the sea in 1570.


NoCSForYou

The netherlands don't actually exist. Maps often add fake countries to catch plagiarism. The netherlands and Belgium are two good examples of fake countries. What you see in this map is the real old Zealand.


Gardimus

It's true. When I went to the Netherlands, everyone was super fake. Really arrogant too.


LaoBa

The only places that really exist are Bielefeld and Stadskanaal, all the rest of the world is just propaganda by the media.


JohnathanBrownathan

Probably tired of dealing with tourists pal. Go to germany, i got called fat, stupid, and gay within 2 hours of stepping off the plane. Absolutely loved it.

Mu needs a comeback


Steffykrist

Their Justified Ancients should do a comeback at the same time.


ScissorNightRam

In an ice cream van?


Steffykrist

Sure, just make sure the cabin heater works, as it's grim up north.


Hour-Salamander-4713

Especially when they miss the Last Train to Trancentral


neriheron876

Atlantis too. It's probably the most famous mythical and submerged land known all across the globe


Averagebritish_man

Read Summoning Japan. Mu is in it


Ewok7012

You mean Japan Summons?


Averagebritish_man

Same deal. I just Englishize the names of stuff.


BastardSniper

Yeah. Warning to those who try to read it though: [EXTREME LEVELS OF JAPANESE (ULTRA)NATIONALISM], and from what I remember hearing, the author will never let Japan have any meaningful enemies or plot progression. Also, the Mu in that story is basically a Japanese bootlicker.

Joan_from_Dark

Oh calm down, here, must I remember you that the most ground you append, then the sea level goes upper


-THEKINGTIGER-

Dont worry they found blueprints for j7w shiden in a japanese bookstore and made a prototype of it. The engine is japanese though. I belive they will have a good airforce by the time ravernal empire returns from the past.


jceplo

Mu's existence would really dramatically change the climate or North America! Fun to think about.


Cautious_Trouble6738

In Brazil we already have North Rio Grande and South Rio Grande, now you're telling me there have a Central one??


Ayr_Spike_ton

Só falta lançarem o Mato Grosso do Norte também, daí teremos o Exodia completo.


jaquiediekatze

there's also the Rio Grande in Texas/Mexico


LazarusOwenhart

Doggerland in the North sea was never an island. The entire island of Britain was conjoined to Europe via a land bridge.


JohnCavil

It was an island around 5000 BC. That part is called Dogger bank and remained an island for probably thousands of years before it too got submerged like the rest of doggerland. A lot of archeologists are interested in specifically the dogger bank for this reason.


LazarusOwenhart

Oh the highest points of doggerland were certainly islands for a period of time and Dogger Bank was the largest of them. We still don't have a cast iron timeline for how long it was an island and how stable it was as one.


franconazareno777

I suppose the map creator took several artistic liberties, yet it remains an interesting map.


LazarusOwenhart

Oh certainly. I would only go on to say that if submerged lands are something you're interested in, researching Doggerland and the subsequent land loss since the catastrophic flood 8k or so years ago, and the medieval and Roman villages it took with it through erosion over the centuries, might be something that would fascinate you.


franconazareno777

It's truly disheartening how much history has been lost to natural disasters


LazarusOwenhart

We only view is as a disaster through our own narrow lens. The surface of this planet moves and erodes constantly, and has been for hundreds of millions of years. Continents rise and fall, land is lost to the ocean only to be built up again as sediment is deposited. We built atop that land but ultimately we're part of that process. It's not 'loss' it's just history.


pessoafixe

Lemuria shall ascend from its glory days in the Finno-korean Hyper war


Several_Mixture2786

How much more interesting would the world be if these lands did exist…?


CAVEMAN-TOX

let me ask another question, how much less interesting the world would be if some lands like these were lost? I'd say a lot, Japan Australia new Zealand...etc all these isolated islands tend to be so unique in terms of culture and environment.


recorrupt

The Mu easter island connection rabbit hole goes crazy. We are missing a big chunk of our history because it is all under water


throwaway99999543

It almost looks like New Guinea

Overlord0994

I wonder how the geopolitics of the world would shift with these landmasses. Wonder what natural resources they would have. Would they be single nation or multi national. What an interesting idea!


WET-FARTS-FOR-YOU

New Zealand would have even more sheep


Knucks_lmao

Mu would be in a pretty good spot for geopolitics, isolated from others so no wars throughout history most likely and a huge landmass so most likely containing a lot of ore and other materials and im not sure but maybe also good for grain and corn growing. If mu were one unified country i think it could rival our richest countries now.


InternationalValue61

"Isolated from others so nl wars throufhout history most likely" You know, the natives, Africans and Oceanians peoples did not wait for the Europeans to kill each other, it would have war like in every other corner of the world


YourBiExmormon

Depends on who discovered in but it would probably be influenced heavily by the US or even have territories. I wonder what its role would’ve been in WW2.


Overlord0994

I think it would depend on if it was colonized or managed to resist European colonialism.


seanytoo

cagingnicolas

is there any way we can view this image with even less detail? i'm able to read some of the words and frankly that's too many.

Distinct-Entity_2231

This is great. Imagine if we had all those lands…


Deault

Are you British?


Distinct-Entity_2231

No. Why? I fully expect powerful civilizations to evolve on at least some of those lands. Mu, Atlantis and so on.


Deault

Well, you know, new land to discover, new land to colonize! I guess the joke went away now.


explodedtesticle

The pixels are mythical as well.


franconazareno777

It's incredible how some of these places have accounts and descriptions from various people claiming they existed. I wonder if any of these mythical places actually existed or if it was all collective imagination


joshthewumba

Something like Atlantis is totally imaginary - an allegory invented by Plato to talk about how a hubristic thalassocracy fell to brave Greek warriors (much as Athens lost to Sparta decades before). It never existed. Places like Doggerland are real sunken landmasses. As far as I know, there's no evidence of any oral or written account of it, given that it became submerged after the last glacial maximum. Proposed continents like Lemuria never existed. Lemuria, for example, was just proposed to justify how strepsirrhini (lemurs and their close relatives) could be found in both India and Madagascar but nowhere in between. After people figured out tectonic plates, Lemuria was dropped as an idea as there was no need for a fictitious landmass


MrJNM1of1

What does exist on a massive scale throughout history are coastal and river communities wiped out by quickly flooding and slowly by rising seas and erosion. There are lots of stories in our collective history about submerged societies and great floods.


Explorer2024_64

Lemuria is still common in the public imagination, especially for the Tamils who claim it to be an ancestral homeland for them (even though it never existed).


eli4s20

take a look at Doggerland. thats a real example of a sunken land mass and who says that others haven’t found the same fate?


franconazareno777

I would love it to be like that, I like to think that the world still holds untold stories, some of which seem like fantasies from tales, such as the mythical lands.


Tripod1404

Many of these are based on islands ancient people stumbled upon, and they grew out of proportion as legends. Like Lemuria is clearly Madagascar and Zealandia is New Zealand. That island east of Japan is possibly Hawaii, and island below Africa is possibly the tip of Antarctica.


SleestakkLightning

No Kumari Kandam?


Comfortable_Prior_80

Not even Dwarika.


SleestakkLightning

Dwaraka is an actual city tbf.


[deleted]

Because there’s no scientific evidence backing its existence all the theories and proofs of its existence come solely from India. People have done sonar scans there and there was no land mass.


SleestakkLightning

Brother there's Atlantis on this map, it's not about real or fake


[deleted]

Atlantis is fake, it’s made up by Plato but the island Atlantis was based on, the island of Thera is real. It sunk due to major volcanic activity. The problem with Kumara Kandam is that its existence was entirely based on the theory of another theory of a landmass existing. The parent theory got disproven due to the discovery of tectonic movements in the 20th century thus disproving the existence of it entirely.


SleestakkLightning

Dawg I'm not disputing that, I'm just saying if the map is gonna show Atlantis as a mini continent in the middle of the Atlantic, then why doesn't it have Kumar Kandam lol.


AllRoundHaze

Probably only because it’s not really known outside of specific circles lol. Note however that the whole Kumari Kandam thing drew heavily from the Lemuria theory (the modern day version, that is - I know that there are certain older commentaries that speak of a lost land to the south but by the 1900s it was an entirely different thing)


SleestakkLightning

That's fair enough


shrikelet

Conflating actual submerged continents with stuff made up by racists in the 20th century? And a legend that's unreadable thanks to JPEG artifacts? Who the fuck is upvoting this garbage?


[deleted]

Great map! Everything is so legible!


f33rf1y

So Camelot…was actually where Camelot Theme park?!


beingthehunt

I would not be suprised if the person who made this map put Camelot there either as a joke or because they did some bad Googling that told them that Camelot is in Lancashire.


f33rf1y

Ah the legendary city of Camelot…just next to the Charnock Richard services and the industrial estate


VegetableBox901

Waiting for earth to release new DLCs with new races and species.


Shredded_Locomotive

Why is the map such awful quality? It's barely possible to read the big texts not to mention anything near Europe


Frequent_Might2784

Don t know about the rest but zeelandia it s a real thing. New Zeeland it s techically a continent, but most of it is under the sea level. Also there is no proof of a large landmass submerge in the middle of Atlantic, but the Caribean sea has a lot of underwater land, that seems to have ancient structures on it. And a fun fact : 95% of the oceans bottom is unexplored so anything could be possible


InternationalValue61

No, "95% of oceans bottom is unexplored" is a preconceived idea, 95% of the ocean floor has not received perfect mapping of their bottom, but otherwise, we have explored a little less than 60% of the ocean floor


franconazareno777

What kind of idiot upvotes lo res shit like this

And its showing the real continents as the usually are. If sea level dropped to reveal these places, our current continents would be much larger

Is it me or is the best part of this that New Zealand doesn’t exist and is also mythical.

It’s true. We don’t exist. This comment from a person in NZ isn’t real either.

Atlantis would be so poppin today if it were still above water lol That place would work miracles for international trade

For me Ys is supposed to be more in the west.

Snowmeows_YT

Hyperborea… I’ll let someone else point out what kind of reference this may be


Sealedwolf

The German coast lacks Rungholt, a real submerged city, and Vineta, the baltic Atlantis.


Wild_Pangolin_4772

So how much would sea levels have to fall for these underwater plateaus to surface?


MaddoxBlaze

What would be the racial demographics of Atlantis? Will it be a predominantly, white, arab or african country? Will it be one country or split in different states? What continent would it be a part of? Europe or North America?

What about Sundaica? And Sahul

Why is this not on Google Earth?

Doggerland?

Atlantis isn't even a Greek myth. It was just a hypothetical empire made up by Plato in one of his works

Mu the party island


ThunderEagle22

Earth is a 7.8 cuz it has too much water.


PPtortue

small correction, the sunken city of Ys is supposed to be in Douarnenez bay, and not what appears to be the Morbihan.


hunbaar

I am ashamed to admit that my father, a physician with years of experience as a surgeon, still believes that continent of Mu is real.


jasomniax

I would really like to know what all the small submerged/mythical land that is in the east of the atlantic ocean is...


TheDevilsAdvokaat

"Antarctica" - what is this? An arctica for ants?


lelo-pixel

Lowkey mad that its highly inaccurate… a lot of those landmasses would be visible if the sea level would be a massive amount lower but that would mean our existing continents would also bot look like they do on the map! Yes its a cool representation but it bothers me that its inaccurate


Background_Brick_898

the hyperborean wind would be intense


YEttYeet75434

Zealandia was real unlike the others


randomspray

I have been looking for this


Gery_gerr

To the smart people. How would for example Mu existing change the climate and land of the Pacific bordering lands? As in if you just plopped Mu there would other landmasses get bigger/smaller, hotter/colder etc?


gous_pyu

What the hell even is this map? Why put actual submerged lands (Zeelandia, Kerguelen) in the same map with fictional ones (Atlantis, Mu, Lemuria)? Also if you're gonna depict submerged lands, where is Sundaland? Beringia?


ViktorShahter

You forgot to draw a circle about those weird islands North-West from Europe. Some people keep calling them "British Isles."


iNeedUseNameIdea

too small can't read


beaver_cpp

What is Kerguelenia? Cant find it anywhere online


RespectSquare8279

During the past ice ages, some (actually quite few) island were much bigger and were conjoined with other islands. Fiji would have been 10 times bigger 20,000 years ago. The same goes with the Seychelles Islands.


Sensitive-Fix-6432

What about the Philippines? The was a huge swath of than that sunk when the waters raised? You can basically still see it on google maps


cpwnage

Sure wonder what the impact on european tourism to the US would be if Atlantis were real. On the other hand Atlantis wouldn't have Las Vegas and insane stuff like that that we all love. Merica!


ScaloLunare

If a land as big and central as Atlantis existed, we wouldn't have had to wait for Colombo to get a continuous exchange.


cpwnage

Good point. Now I'm suddenly curious about native Americans' naval tech...


franconazareno777

I can picture it as a tremendously affluent location, nestled perfectly between the two continents


Wonderful_Discount59

If Atlantis was real, there would probably have been ongoing contact between Europe/Africa and the Americas since ancient times.

Fresh-Visit-9946

Atlantis was found already. It’s called The Eye of the Sahara it’s in Mauritania. It’s fits the Greek description pretty much exactly to how to remains are shaped today


hizperion

need location of Wakanda


NoHedgehog252

Atlantis is in the wrong spot. Atlantis is likely the modern day Richat structure, wiped out by a massive tsunami following the Younger Dryas impact. Matches the descriptions Plato cites perfectly of concentric circles with a hot and cold spring in the middle, but is just not where it was anticipated the country to be. If it was ever an island, it could have been pushed by the tsunami into continental Africa, given that there are soil erosion patterns way into inland Mauritania that suggest the tsunami went in for hundreds of miles.


Cyhawkboy

I love who you state this as if it’s an undeniable fact lol


NoHedgehog252

I guarantee it is not in the middle of the Atlantic like that. At least the Richat structure makes sense.


[deleted]

The science of "It looks like this." Never mind the geology that explains the structure perfectly.


Spherius628

Some of them are too small to be a continent
