More evidence that the New Land Unknown I proposed could actually exists!

Antarcitica's Elsworth Trench is almost twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, and it stretches almost all the way across the continent, ending at the coast. The lowest point is 2000 meters (6500 feet) below sea level.

This fits perfectly with my suggestion that the ocean extended into the valley I call the New Land Unknown when Antarctica was warm and covered with forests . . . and dinosaurs.


Scientists discover giant trench under Antarctic ice
________________________________

The researchers were charting the Ellsworth Subglacial Highlands — an ancient mountain range buried beneath several miles of Antarctic ice — by combining data from satellites and ice-penetrating radar towed behind snowmobiles and onboard small aircraft.

The project uncovered a massive subglacial trench, or valley, that is up to 1.9 miles (3 kilometers) deep and more than 15.5 miles (25 kilometers) across. For comparison, the Grand Canyon is 1.13 miles (1.8 kilometers) deep at its deepest point. In places, the floor of the subglacial valley is more than 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) below sea level.

How do I know it had dinosaurs back then? Because of articles like this one in Discover Magazine.

When Dinosaurs Roamed Antarctica
________________________________

Millions of years ago, dinosaurs living in Antarctica enjoyed a mild climate, temperate waters and abundant vegetation.

Today, scientists looking for their fossils on that same continent face a much different place. Ice covers 99 percent of Antarctica, sudden snowstorms can bury dig sites, and gale-force winds scour the land. Extreme conditions in Antarctica are one reason this part of the dinosaur fossil record remained incomplete for so long.

Researchers funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), which manages the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP), have painstakingly recovered fossils from the southernmost continent. Their discoveries reveal how dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals lived and died in Antarctica, and how they moved between it and other parts of the world.

As for how the dinosaurs survived in my Lost World in Antarctica concept, I think I've finally thought of a way to explain both their survival below the ice "roof" above it and the bright sunlight that’s shown in the images I created! Very Happy

Consider this quote from my previous posts called Beneath Antarctica's Ice, Evidence of Lost Continents! Pt 4.

The Science Channel had an episode of Unearth tonight about Machu Picchu, and when I saw the opening images I suddenly realized why the Incas built a magnificent city on a remote mountain top when the only modes of transportation they had to get there were by traveling on foot and by riding lamas! Shocked

Suddenly I realized that Machu Picchu was a spaceport for the aliens who provided guidance to these primitive people, and they didn't want the rest of the population to see the spacecraft landing and taking off from the cities down at ground level!

In other words, Machu Picchu was high in the Andes and remotely located for the sake of aliens coming down from the sky!

That gave me this wild new idea!

Suppose that 65 million years ago, alien explorers discovered Earth and they were dazzled by the amazing life forms which lived on our planet.








The alien survey ships spent years in orbit as they studied the dinosaurs, and teams of scientists traveled around the globe, gathering data about Earth's amazing ecosystem.





But eventually these aliens discovered the approach of a planet-killing asteroid that would strike the Earth in just a few months! Despite the alien's advanced technology, their ships were not capable of either destroying the asteroid or deflecting it enough to make it miss Earth.





In a desperate effort to preserve a small part of Earth's unique prehistoric environment, the aliens created a giant force field over a region of Gondwanaland which would protect it from the coming "nuclear winter", and allow the life forms in that area to survive.

They even provided a lighting system which would keep this region bright and warm during the years following the asteroid's impact. A highly advanced AI system was created for the region,' and its function was to monitor the conditions in this "dinosaur preserve", incuring the survival of the ecosystem while the rest of the planet struggled through the nuclear winter that enveloped the planet.

The alien scientist departed, but they planned to return in several years to supervise the reintegration of the dinosaurs into Earth's damaged=but-recovering ecosystem.

Long after the two years of darkness caused by the nuclear winter finally ended, the AI system which controlled the area continued to protect and isolate it, because conditions on Earth were no long favorable for the dinosaurs survival outside the protected area.

Please note that when the asteroid hit the Earth sixty-five million years ago, Antarctica was located farther north than it is now. It was a part of a super continent called Gondwanaland, which also included Australia and South America.






During this tme, the AI system waited patiently for the aliens to send it new instructions based on data from the orbiting satellites they'd left behind. The satellites monitored Earth's slow recovery from the killer asteroid.

Sadly, no new instructions were ever received . . . and for reasons unknown, the aliens never returned. But the AI system faithfully maintained this hidden Land Unknown for millions of years.

Eventually the continent of Antarctica became frozen as tectonic movements carried it down to the south polar region. Snow and ice formed over the protective energy field — but the life support system which provided light and climate control continued to make the region a perfect environment for the dinosaurs for next 65 million years.






And now — here on modern-day Earth — the force field still masks the existence of the protected valley located in the middle of the continent, beneath the ice. Mankind remains blissfully unaware of hidden artificial environment and all the prehistoric creatures which still roam there!





Wow! What an exciting idea, guys! It’s a Jurassic Park which was created millions of years ago by highly intelligent aliens who wanted to preserve the dinosaurs, similar to way millionaire John Hammond wanted to resurrect them!
