About The Lost Continent of Zealandia: What Was Erased 10,000 Years Ago

In 2017, scientists confirmed what geologists had long suspected: there is an eighth continent, nearly the size of Australia, sitting mostly submerged beneath the Pacific Ocean. They called it Zealandia. What they did not widely report is that significant portions of Zealandia were above water until approximately 10,000 years ago, exactly when ancient myths describe a global flood. Polynesian oral traditions speak of a great land to the west that sank beneath the waves. And geological surveys of the Zealandian shelf are revealing formations that bear an uncomfortable resemblance to man-made structures.

The Lost Continent of Zealandia: What Was Erased 10,000 Years Ago is presented by Secret Origins. Its listed runtime is 21 minutes. The source link and publisher attribution are provided with the embedded film.

As a mystery documentary, The Lost Continent of Zealandia: What Was Erased 10,000 Years Ago uses continent, zealandia, erased as its central frame.

Guyana, The Convoys of the Lost World

Guyana is a forgotten and mysterious country. Wedged between Surinam, Venezuela and Brazil, the sole English-speaking country in South America also continues to be one of the poorest and least populated on the continent. Anything can happen in this focal point for adventurers, cowboys and gold prospectors. Outside of Georgetown, the capital on the edge of the sea with the appearance of a colonial town, the rest of the territory resembles a lost world. The Amazon forest covers everything, slashed through here and there by enormous, winding rivers. Beyond the jungle is a vast plain, scorched by the sun in summer and inundated by water in the rainy season. Few will dare to venture into the inner country. And yet a handful of truck drivers take amazing risks to supply the gold mines and rare villages that are there with food and fuel. Aboard their Bedfords, former British Army trucks that have been fixed a thousand times, they must deal with roads full of potholes, cross hostile jungle and brave torrents of mud. Their journeys take them to areas that
