Well better a copyright dispute that the agents at your door xD

@@MangaSt hi

did yt demotized this video? I see a big banner for "context" from wikipedia, wtf is going on

It was the island wasn't it lol.. that image needed to be removed huh?

You mean the cia?

That's the part of the video that most stood out to me lol Mental gymnastics

You are underestimating the power of earthquakes. The force released in earthquakes is massive. A Hiroshima bomb was equal to about 6.0 magnitude earthquake and a 50MT Tsar Bomba is like 8.5 magnitude.

​@@arttuheikkila388the epicenter for an earthquake is usually deep underground, though

@@aster1sk294 true, but if one were to blow up (sink) an island with a hydrogen bomb - i'd assume the bomb would be delivered deep underground/underwater, too

Yeah but wouldn't an earthquake that powerful affect a pretty huge radius? 100s of miles would've felt and pinpointed it. Whearas the largest atomic blast had a 'fuck you radius' of about 30 miles

No, simplest answer is that it never existed.

@@niflag simplest answer is that ur mom was so fat she ate the damn island

@@niflag - That's pretty much what he just said. There was no GPS back then, so If a sailor was off course and "discovered" an island, he would put it on the charts (in the wrong place). As such, he would have charted a known island, but in the wrong place. So there were a LOT of duplicated islands. Remember that back in those days, everyone wanted to make it into the history books by discovering new things. So explorers were overly eager to note uncharted mountains, rivers, islands and land masses. And they would often exaggerate the size or significance of their discoveries. Look at any old map of a coastline, and every inlet has a name and they all look like huge harbors.

Probably. Alternatively, it was a sand drift caught up in some of the Yucatan Impact ejecta around that area, and washed away. He doesn't get any more detailed about the island other than it being named "Auburn Isle", which brings to mind the color of sand. But yes - the best answer it it was a mis-identification of another island, and poor navigation of the time created a cartography error.

There area lot of small islands off Mexico's northern coast. I'm pretty sure that's what happened, too. People don't realize how old much of the information on maps and charts often is. I recall a Navy Captain talking about navigating through the Pacific in WW2, and seeing that the charts they were using were from Captain Cook's expedition, which didn't give him a great feeling of confidence when sailing at night with the primitive radars we had back then.

LMAO well, it was in all maps made by man and satellites. it vanished. is it hard to admit that your country is built on blood and cheating?

that's probably what it was

@@fortheloveofnoise9298 It was a tiny island...easy destroyable !

Wanting a thing to be true does not mean it is true. Political officials are often terrible about that rule of physicality. It is just silly, and they hope nobody will check their baseless statements. If shaved off by any reason, the root of the island would still be easily found by sonar, overflights and satellite. Same if overtopped by water. Odd the other Gulf islands haven't disappeared by "global warming sea rise" itself a fantasy concocted in the 60s and 70s by the Club of Rome convention of billionaires, elaborating on Edgar Cayce's prophetic dreams decades before. It often amazes me how much societal effort and resources are aimed at billionaires pet projects and fantasies.

I too don't believe it existed. But considering Nord Stream. It may be possible....

@@GrimReaperNegi plastic explosives on a pipeline is pretty much scuba war 101. Removing an island is Superman Returns fighting Lex Luther.

We as a species could absolutely destroy an entire island; the problem would be doing it in secret.

@@GrimReaperNegi exactly lol

Exactly correct!

Thi is bull sh***

a lot of gringos and euros coping with the fact that they are going to hell for not repenting of the blood spilling and cheating and robbery done on other countries.

That’s what I was thinking. Why can’t we just look at some satellite imagery?

Inqtel owns Google maps 🤡

@@gibbonbasher8171 because only USA has satellite imagery that old

@@SkyGravity137 the location told by the USA? XD

As if the sailors didnt know what sea grass was. lol

​@@hia5235 I came here to say this

We know alot about ocean gyre islands now, so the trash of the lost civilaztions of Mexico and Southern USA could have fromed a gyre in the middle of the Gulf. Once small pox whiped out a billion people in south and central America, the gyre would go away....

the captain said it was blonde / red ... so it might have just been red tide.

Elaborately contrived explanation yet still plausible. I like it!

@@76rjackson I sailed from Key West to Veracruz thirty years ago and saw such things in The Gulf. That's what I think they saw out there...

@@GardenerEarthGuy Always wanted to learn to sail. That sounds like an awesome trip. Mexico back then was a lot of fun, too. Thanks!

I can’t say I’m super familiar with the history of copyright law but I don’t believe that’s the case here. Cartographers openly copied each others work then and could do little more than get angry about it. This may have been because there was no way to enforce copyright violations outside of a country’s borders though. I’ve only come across one example where copyright laws seemed to matter before the 19th century. It’s a depiction of the Sea of the West that was copied by another French cartographer and he was forced to throw away all his maps. But the issue may have been because it wasn’t made public yet because once it was there were hundreds of other maps with it. Maybe someone more informed on copyright law can comment. Edit: spelling

@Geography Geek it's a thing Jay foreman did a whole episode about it

@@hircenedaelen I’m aware of paper towns. Again, in my research cartographers appear to copy each other openly before the 19th century. There would be no point in using a copyright trap when there are no consequences.

@Geography Geek oh, ok

@@GeographyGeek professional reputation might be an incentive to not be publicly shamed, and if the map was prepared for a specific client or nation they might have some recourse for you just copying someone else's work. Just guessing here.

Why would you leave copying traps in an age where copyright infringement carried no consequences.

I remember watching a John Green video about how he collects maps of new york from a specific company because this company has a fake road name but they change the location every year and John views it as a sort of intriguing where's waldo challenge.

@@Fabianwew maps were BIG business in those days, i personally have a Atlas major Blaeu, which around the time the originals were made were some of the best maps available heavily sought after by the brits spannish portugese and others alike

@@1TakoyakiStore think ive seen that, quite some time ago or maybe something like it

Yeah, even in the videos it shows up in different places with varying numbers of other islands around it. It’s amazing nowadays how people can unironically believe that the CIA was incapable of a single remote bomb on a pipeline near Norway, yet could have dropped dozens of nukes on remote islands near Mexico. Look at the Bikini Atoll damage and how many bombs they’d need. Plus, the Mexican government surveyors couldn’t find anything remotely resembling an island. Next guess is climate change, fr? That’s amazingly precise climate change to raise the seas 1000 feet only on 1 island.

I have to agree. But a thought. If you look at the shelf in that area, it looks more defined than the rest of the gulf. In one spot near where the suggest the location might be, there is somewhat of a fan where the shelf sloughs off. This had to happen eons ago. The lower ends are well worn. And yet there is a higher point in the middle. So it may have existed. But it's been gone long before any modern times.

I say let them think the USA is strong enough to remove islands from existence.

😂

you have a shitty supply guy then. units and things the gov cares about gets done.

I did too and to act like "erased history" this isn't possible is complete bs. You obviously do because that statement is exactly what someone in there would say to push the narrative further. If you do then you know there are constantly truths being revealed left and right about so called misinformation or hush protocols.

Keith Richards found it. Really? Does it look like Keith Richards found it?

could be

Thank you!

Exactly.

🤣😂

Wouldn’t matter. International law states that if an island cannot support human life then it doesn’t qualify to have its own EEZ

​@@nyag1337 At least for scientific reasons, it should matter!

I'd hazard to guess the topology undersea in the gulf of Mexico is fairly well known

They did. Did you watch the vid?

Fishermen would know. Exxon would know

Aliens!

@@ChrisNoonetheFirst Of course! And they never even considered it.

Lol

Biggest problem with a nuke big enough to blow up an island is that there's absolutely NO WAY it would have gone unnoticed by anyone on any shore in the Gulf of Mexico, or the entire Caribbean for that matter. Certainly the Soviets would have been alerted to it through their own seismic sensors and satellite data. Read about the devastation that happened when Krakatoa exploded and how far away that blast was seen and heard. I knew the Mexican education system leaves a lot to be desired (worse than even the American system, if you can wrap your head around that!), but for their professors of ALL people to think that a nuke big enough to take out even a small island would go unnoticed takes it to another entire level... SMFH.

Yes lol

usaliens lol

Yeah it does, it shows one on google earth partially submerged

@@GrabbaBeer wrong! That's not the center of the gulf. Closest land in the center of the gulf is a mile straight down.

@@highseasmarinediaz493 nope. Wrong. The island wasn’t depicted in the center, it was depicted above the Yucatán peninsula

Lol

Red tide - Bermeja is suspiciously close to Vermelha in portuguese, in spanish they would say Roja today, but its basically called "Red island".

Yes, and the explosion would have registered on seismographs. Also, the area would still be radioactive.

What about the old maps? just drop a few bombs and make it disappear, that's most likely what happened, the big neighbor with big bombs and big airplanes, top secret stuff, nobody knows, nobody knew.

That's a really good theory. King: "How do you know this mapmaker counterfeited your map and didn't explore the area himself?" Mapmaker: "Because ,the idiot included the made up island I put on the map to trap people like him when they copied my map."

@@ralphholiman7401 I read it somewhere in a book about historical cartography.

True. But remember it’s not a secret, but many govts of the world openly collude with Google Maps to mask/hide/remove/blur sensitive locations, so I would‘nt necessarily rely on this as solid evidence.

That's Mexican Navy outpost.

Yes I think they dug out the island humans been making artificial islands and land bridges since BC era

Yup, I believe the US destroyed it

Except that the GOM is thousands of feet deep where this island was supposed to have been. No hurricane can do that.

Truth! I grew up in the 1960’s in Newport Rhode Island. Just about lived on fishing boats for decades.On the old stone pier footings there are high and low tide markings that go back hundreds of years. They are the same as today’s tides. When some idiots are preaching global warming/climate change I point this out. And they still come back with their BS claims. It’s about control of the people and money all lies…Pisses me off that they are teaching kids this crap…

Shhhh, you'll just confuse them with facts that don't fit their religion.
