Comment from the web master Dean R.
Clarke B.L.S.- All though this might be a starting point in research it does
not encompass the width and breadth of this subject that can now involve quite
a few other sciences in this endeavor. Yet, the principle idea behind why the
subject is studied by more serious scholars is that there is enough evidence to
warrant the existence of not one but 8 to 10 other continents that may have once
existed then lost to time or the seas.
