Mysteries of the Lost Continent

 

In 1642 Abel Tasman began a mission.

Tasman was convinced of the existence of a large continent in the Southern Hemisphere and was determined to find it.

At that time, this part of the Earth was still very mysterious to the Europeans, but they had a firm belief that they would find a large land mass there.

On August 14, Tasman set sail from Jakarta to Indonesia with two small ships and headed west, south, and then east, ending up in the South Island of New Zealand.

His first encounter with the natives called Maori did not go so well.

During a collision, four Europeans died. That was the end of Tasman's mission. He named the location Moordenaers (murderers) and returned home a few weeks later without setting foot on that land.

He never returned there, even though he was right about the fact that that land was a lost continent.

In 2017, a group of geologists announced that they had discovered Zealandia.

Despite the doubts, geologists proved that there is an eighth continent, which has broken records as it is the smallest, thinnest and youngest continent in the world.

94% of the continent is under water.

After four years this continent continues to be an enigma due to the fact that it is located two kilometers under water.

The first evidence of the existence of Zealandia was discovered by the Scotsman James Hector in 1895.

However, in 1995 the American geologist Bruce Luyendyk named it a continent and suggested it be called Zealandia.

Zealandia was originally part of Gondwana.

According to Tulloch Zealoandia began to separate 105 million years ago, but they could not explain this phenomenon.

Another mystery is the fact that when Zealandia ended up under water, the continent was considered dry land. This raised the question of what might have lived there.

Several theories have been put forward about the existence of dinosaurs.

Sutherland has stated that "if there is water up to 10 meters, then there is a possibility that there was also land around".

Another mystery is also the shape of Zealandia on the map.

It appears very thin.

Tulloch added that "there are different interpretations on this issue, but it continues to remain an undiscovered thing".

Even after Tasman's explorations 400 years ago, the eighth continent still has much to discover.
